"Actually, Michel only means well - and so it's just a silly accident that he gets drunk on little pigs and the rooster with fermented cherries. And also that he, after being converted to a sober life with the Good Templars , almost sets the pastor on fire with his magnifying glass... But at heart, Michel is a good boy, and when he's sitting in the carpenter's shed again and has carved his one hundred and thirtieth wooden figure, he prays fervently:"Dear God, make me stop my mischief! Kindly ask Michel Svensson – Katthult – Lönneberga.”Translator: Karl Kurt Peters"
