A Pea in Elisabeth’s Nose/När Lisbet pillade in en ärta i näsan
Elisabeth follows her older sister everywhere. Mardie has so many good ideas. But Elisabeth gets quite a few ideas herself too. For example, she is very good at putting things where they shouldn’t be, like when she sticks a pea up her nose, just to see if it goes in. And so it does. Quite far in, too. The only way to get it out it a visit to Dr. Berglund. But on the way there, Mardie and Elisabeth come across a group of girls who are looking for a fight …
