Pettersson gets a Christmas visit

A story by Swedish children’s author Sven Nordqvist – it is told in nine different shop windows:

On the day before Christmas Eve, Pettersson and his cat Findus go into the forest, as they do every year, to choose their Christmas tree. On the way, however, Pettersson sprains his ankle so badly that he can no longer walk – and nothing has been prepared for Christmas. Findus thinks: What a sad Christmas this is going to be!

But when the neighbors find out about the disaster, they fill their baskets with the most delicious things, make their way to the two of them and bring them over. This Christmas ends up being the best the two of them have ever celebrated.
