"Yes," said the Donkey, "it was some time ago, and I have had many
adventures. Tell me, did you ever have a broken leg?"

proudly. "This Sawdust Doll here," he went on, "has also had many
adventures. Tell him about them, Sawdust Doll."
"Oh, it would take too long," replied Dorothy's plaything. "But they are
all in a book. And Dorothy's brother Dick has a White Rocking Horse, and
his adventures are in a book, too."
"For that matter I have had a book written about me," said the Donkey.
"So have I!" declared the Calico Clown, jumping up and down. "It tells
about my trousers catching fire."

Elephant.
"Perhaps," answered the Lamb on Wheels. "You are much larger than I, and
there is a book about me. But let's have some fun, now that the children
are out of the room."
"All right," agreed the Elephant. "This is like it used to be in Mr.
Mugg's store after closing time. What shall we do?"
"I know what I should like to do," said the Calico Clown, as he looked
at the big stuffed toy.
"What?" asked the Nodding Donkey.
