RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY
AND THE CAMEL WITH
THE WRINKLED KNEES
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy lay in their little doll beds, smiling up through the dark at the top of the play-house. It was very still and quiet in the play-house, but the Raggedys were not even a teeny-weeny speck lonesome, for they were thinking so many nice kindly thoughts. And, you know, when one thinks only lovely, kindly thoughts there is no time to become lonesome.
The play-house was an old piano-box and was all fixed up nice and cozy. There was an old rug upon the floor, two doll-beds, three little chairs, a table with pretty little play teacups and saucers and plates on it.
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy lay upon the doll beds just where Marcella had left them that afternoon. One of Raggedy Ann’s legs was twisted up over the other, but it wasn’t the least bit uncomfortable, for Raggedy Ann’s legs were stuffed with nice white, soft cotton and they could be twisted in every position and it did not trouble Raggedy Ann. No indeed! Neither Raggedy Ann nor Raggedy Andy had moved since they had been placed in the little doll beds, and now it was late at night. Marcella had forgotten to take the Raggedys in the house, but the Raggedys did not mind that either. They just smiled up at the top of the play-house and listened to the tiny sounds which came from the little creatures out in the grass and flowers.
At first Raggedy Ann was so busy thinking nice kindly thoughts she did not notice. Then when Johnny Cricket stopped squeeking upon his tiny fiddle Raggedy Ann knew something was about to happen. Her little candy heart with the words I love you
printed upon it went pitty-pat against her nice cotton-stuffed body. And Raggedy Ann heard great big footsteps coming up the path, Thump! thump! thump.
Hmm!
Raggedy Ann whispered to Raggedy Andy, I wonder who that can be?
The great big footsteps came up to the play-house and went on, Thump! thump! thump!
Raggedy Andy jumped out of the little doll-bed and tip-toed to the door. The night was dark, but Raggedy Andy had two very good shoe-button eyes and as they were black shoe-button eyes, Raggedy Andy could see very well in the dark. And what do you think? Raggedy Andy saw a great big man reach right in one of the windows to the house and take something and run! The man ran right by the piano-box play-house and Raggedy Andy could have jumped out and touched him if he had wished. But Raggedy Andy was so surprised to see anyone reach in another person’s house and take something, he could think of nothing to do or say; and so the man jumped over the back fence and ran across the field!
Did you see, Raggedy Ann?
Raggedy Andy asked.
Yes!
said Raggedy Ann, very decidedly, we must run up to the house and find out what that man was doing!
So, smoothing the wrinkles out of her apron and jiggling her legs to get the twists out of them, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy ran up to the house and climbed upon a chair so that they could peep over the sill into the window.
When Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy peeped up over the window-sill, all the dolls remained very quiet, for they thought it was the man returning; but when they saw that it was Raggedy Ann’s and Raggedy Andy’s faces peeping in at them, they all jumped up and ran to them.
What do you think, Raggedy Ann?
Uncle Clem cried. Someone reached into the window and took the French doll! Wasn’t that a rude thing to do?
My! My! My!
was all Raggedy Ann could say for awhile. Then after she sat and pulled her rag forehead down into a lot of wrinkles, Raggedy Ann was able to think of something to do.
Raggedy Andy!
said Raggedy Ann. We must run after the man and make him bring the French doll back here!
That is just what I was thinking!
Raggedy Andy replied, as he climbed upon the window-sill. Come on, Raggedy, Ann!
Little Henny, the Dutch doll, wanted to go with Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, but Raggedy Ann said, No Henny, you must stay here and take care of the rest of the dolls! You see, you are the only man left!
This pleased Henny so much he tried to stick out his chest so far that he fell over backwards and cried, M-a-m-m-a!
in his quavery voice.
Raggedy Andy knew just which way the strange man had run, for he had watched him, so after jumping from the window and catching hold of her hand, Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann raced through the yard, climbed through a hole in the fence and scooted across the field.
Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy ran until they came to the center of the field, and all the way they had followed the man’s trail where he had bent down the grass and field flowers. But when they came to the center of the field, the grass and flowers were not bent down, and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy stopped.
Now isn’t that strange, Raggedy Ann?
Raggedy Andy asked. He hasn’t gone beyond here and still he isn’t here!
Then if he isn’t here,
Raggedy Ann
