The Dolls, Soldiers, Clowns, Rocking Horses, Lambs were not able
to move, talk, or make believe come to life if a boy or a girl or any
one at all looked at them.
"But now we are alone we can have some fun," said the Jack in the Box.
"Let's have a jumping race, to see who can go the farthest. Come on! I'm
ready!"
"Yes, you are always ready to jump out of your box as soon as the cover
is taken off," remarked the Lamb on Wheels. "But the rest of us are not
such high kickers as you are. I cannot jump at all. I can only run
around on my wheels, just as the White Rocking Horse, who used to live
here, could only go on his rockers."
"Well, what shall we do then?" asked the Jack. "I'm ready to do
anything."
"Suppose we have the Calico Clown play us a little tune on his cymbals,"
suggested the Bold Tin Soldier. "My men and I like to hear his music.
After that we will march around and then--"
"Then we must listen to what the Lamb has to say," cried the Monkey on a
Stick. "She said she had something to tell us."
"Oh, excuse me," came from the Bold Tin Soldier Captain, with a wave of
his shiny sward.
