Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy made the Genii, who lived in the great castle on the top of the hill let all his prisoners go, so the Zumzee and the Thngum soon found th.ir Mama.
 And Mrs Mingie, who had come with the Raggedys to rescue the Thingum and the Zumzee's nice mama, opened her magic cupboard and gave everyone very fine picnic right out in front of the Genii's castle.
 Everyone was very glad to be res cued from the Genii, for some of them had been shut up in the Genii's castle for six years; and that is very long time.
 When the Genii saw Ms. Mingle's magic cupboard, and saw that Mrs. Mingle only had to make ! wish and reach inside the cupboard to get what ever she wished for, the Genii said to himsel. There is something need!" And he sat down and scratched his head 10 try and think of some way to get the cupboard away from Mrs. Mingle.
 An easy way to do would be 10 run LID and take it right away from her." the Genii thought. But if I do that while MT. Mungle and the Thing um and the Zumzee and the Raggedys are with her. I am sure they would take the cupboard away from me and give me some hard thumps with their sticks" And while everyone was laughing and talking and happy be- cause they had been rescued from the Gsnii. the Genii was planning a way to get the best of Mrs. Mingle. so he waited until everyone had as many ice cream cones and lollypops as they wished and had started for home. Then when the Genii saw the Thingum and the Zumzee leave with their ice Mama. the Genii walked 10 where the Razkedys and Mrs. Mingle and Mir. Mungle sat feeding the crums to the little ants Wont you come into my castle and see the nice things I have in there?" he asked our friends.
