Pelle Quotes

“Pelle shears the lamb, and the wool is carded, spun, dyed and woven. Finally, the tailor makes a new suit for Pelle.”

“Pelle lived on a farm with his mother and father in the country. His grandmother and grandfather lived near him.”

“One day Pelle said to his father and his mother, ‘My lamb has a long woolly coat. But my suit is short and tight. It is too small for me.’ ‘Yes, it is,’ said his mother.”

“The wool is ready to be spun into yarn,′ said Pelle’s mother. ‘I think Grandmother will do this for you.’ So Pelle gathered all the wool in a big basket. He carried the basket of wool to his grandmother.”
