Woolly Dog. Please don’t forget me. I can’t bark till I get a new spring.
Mrs. Santa Claus. Come, Elephant and Tiger. I’ll do you next. There, I’ve seen you all. You are now as good as toys can be.
French Doll. Are we to stay in this old attic?
Tin Soldier. Can’t we be put on a Christmas tree again?
Mrs. Santa Claus. No. Listen to me. You are all to go out into the world to-night. Each one of you must make one little child happy. Go the way you wish, but be sure to find the child that needs you most. I must hurry to another old attic over the way. Good night, toys.
[Toys go away.]
First Mouse. Will each toy try to make some child glad on Christmas morning?
Second Mouse. I hope so. How happy they all looked as they went out!
THE NEW YEAR
New Year. Here I am!
