Uncle Clem twisted and wiggled in his sleep until finally he could stand
it no longer and awakened.
"I dreamed that some one told me the funniest story!" said Uncle Clem;
"But I cannot remember what it was!"
"I was tickling you!" laughed Raggedy Andy.
When the other dolls in the nursery heard Raggedy Andy and Uncle Clem
talking, they too sat up in their beds.
"We've been so quiet all day," said Raggedy Andy. "Let's have a good
romp!"
This suggestion suited all the dolls, so they jumped out of their beds
and ran over towards Raggedy Andy's and Uncle Clem's little bed.
Raggedy Andy, always in for fun, threw his pillow at Henny, the Dutch
doll.
Henny did not see the pillow coming towards him so he was knocked head
over heels.
Henny always said "Mama" when he was tilted backward or forward, and
when the pillow rolled him over and over, he cried, "Mama, Mama, Mama!"
It was not because it hurt him, for you know Santa Claus always sees to
it that each doll he makes in his great workshop is covered with a very
magical Wish, and this Wish always keeps them from getting hurt.
Henny could talk just as well as any of the other dolls when he was
standing up, sitting, or lying down, but if he was being tipped forward
and backward, all he could say was, "Mama."
This amused Henny as much as it did the other dolls, so when he jumped
to his feet he laughed and threw the pillow back at Raggedy Andy.
