Santa: Dear me. This is very annoying.
Mrs. Santa: Be firm. Be firm.
Brownie brings in a Jumping Jack.
Jumping-Jack: Santa, I’m sorry to seem fussy but I really can’t go out this year. How would you like to be capering like this [jerks about] every time someone pulled a string. Folks think a Jumping-Jack’s arms and legs never get tired but I want to tell you they do.
Santa and Mrs. Santa [together]: Poor thing.
Brownie brings in Top.
Top [spinning round and round]: Santa, I’m so dizzy my head will fly off. After I was made all the Brownies in the workshop kept spinning me just because I have such a sweet hum. If I have to be put on a Christmas tree and be played with all day tomorrow I shall spin myself to death. I expect to stay right here, Santa.
Mrs. Santa: But it isn’t hard work to spin.
Top: You just try it for a day, dear Mrs. Santa.
Brownie brings in beautiful doll.
