He rummaged among the sausages in his bag and pulled out the parcel.

‘Now I only have this left. Shall we open it?’

‘Is it for me?’ said Findus.

‘Let’s see… “Farmer Pettson,” it says. That’s not you. You’re a cat.’

Findus flung out his arms. ‘Pettson? He’s mine!’

‘Is he?’ said the postman. ‘Do you have a Pettson? How marvellous.

You can take it to him. It’s very urgent. Post-haste.’

‘But why stand here talking and eating sausages if it’s so urgent?’ said Findus.

‘I was starving,’ said the postman. ‘Didn’t you notice? I ate loads of sausages in one go. Besides, I am an ex-postman now. Very soon I’m returning to the forests of my birth. I might get eaten by bears; I don’t want to spend my final hours delivering parcels! You can do it. He’s your Pettson. Hurry now. I’m going to throw a snowball.’

Findus took the parcel and backed away a few steps, staring at the little man in surprise.

‘Bye-bye, Findus! Now to throw that snowball.’

‘Bye-bye,’ said Findus shyly. The postman tossed a big snowball up into the air. It broke against the branches above. A thousand glittering stars came floating down, concealing him in a cloud of snowflakes. When they reached the ground he had vanished.
