"My mistress had put us both to bed for the night, and if she had
discovered us 'way up in the attic, she would have wondered how in the
world we got there! So there was nothing to do but get Raggedy Andy out
of the tangle!"
"But you pulled me out all right!" Raggedy Andy laughed.
"Yes, I pulled and I pulled until I pulled one of Raggedy Andy's arms
off," Raggedy Ann said. "And then I pulled and pulled until finally his
feet came out of the wheel and we both tumbled to the floor!"
"Then we ran downstairs as fast as we could and climbed into bed, didn't
we!" Raggedy Andy laughed.

"Yes, we did!" Raggedy Ann replied. "And when we jumped into bed, we
remembered that we had left Raggedy Andy's arm lying up on the attic
floor, so we had to run back up there and get it! Remember, Raggedy
Andy?"
"Yes! Wasn't it lots of fun?"
"Indeed it was!" Raggedy Ann agreed.
"Raggedy Andy wanted to let the arm remain off until the next morning,
but I decided it would be better to have it sewed on, just as it had
been when Mistress put us to bed. So, just like tonight, we went to the
pincushion and found a needle and thread and I sewed it on for him!"
"There!" Raggedy Ann said, as she wound the thread around her hand and
pulled, so that the thread broke near Raggedy Andy's shoulder. "It's
sewed on again, good as new!"
"Thank you, Raggedy Ann!" said Raggedy Andy, as he threw the arm about
Raggedy Ann's neck and gave her a hug.
