Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy went
skipping along the shore Of the looking
glass brook, stopping here and there to
lift up the head of n pretty little flower,
ito see if there are any fairies sleeping
inside said Raggedy Ann. They We're
careful each time they looked into
flower not to "jiggle" it too much and
awaken the little fairy. And. when they
! found a little. teeny, weeny fairy sound
asleep inside. pretty little flower, Rag
gedy AIMS and Raggedy Andy's little
snOe button eyes twinkled with excite
utent and fun.
The two rag dolls stroIled along until
they came 10 log. which had fallen
across the looking glass brook, forming
a nice bridge. over which they could
walk and get upon the side of the brook
where Mister Minky lived. II guess the
best thing for US To do said Raggedy
Ann, lis to try and get the wishing peb
BILE, away from Minky and then we can
wish him TO be real kind and loving"
Yes" agreed Rasgedy Andy. That
would be a good plan. For, while old
Mister aiinky has the wishing pebble. no
one gets any good out OF it, and IL We
can get it and wish Mister Milky to be
&
the wishing pebble back TO him and he
will have LOIS of fun wishing nice things
for Others"
Then, lets cross the brook upon this
log" said Kaggedy Ann, 'and ne Will

Mister Milky reached out with the long
stick aud poked at Raggedy Ann, trying
To get the end Of the stick fastened in
Her dress or apron. but each time Mister
Mnky thought he had Raggedy AIMS
dress fastened upon the stick, Raggeiy
Andy gave Ragsedy Ann a pun and the
stick came loose
