"Never mind," said Uncle Wiggily. "You will soon be loose from the glue, and you can help me!"
"Oh, I wish I were loose now!" cried the monkey.
He gave himself a tremendous tug and a pull, Uncle Wiggily helping him, and up he came. Then how he flew about that hospital, fixing the dolls ready for the party.
"Hark!" suddenly called Uncle Wiggily.
"It's the girl animals coming for their dolls," said the monkey. "Oh, work fast! Work fast!"
Outside the doll hospital Susie Littletail, the rabbit girl, and Alice and Lulu Wibblewobble, the duck girls, and all their friends were calling:
"Are our dolls mended? Are they ready for us?"
"Not yet, but soon," answered Uncle Wiggily, and then he and the monkey worked so fast! Dolls that had lost their heads had new ones put on. The doll that had spilled all her sawdust was filled up again, plump and fat. One boy soldier doll, who had lost his gun was given a new one, and a sword also. And the phonograph doll was fixed so that she could sing as well as talk.
"But it is almost time for the party!" cried Susie Littletail.
"Just a minute!" called Uncle Wiggily.
