"I'll think of something, and you must all see if you can guess what it is."
"That's too hard a game," objected the China Cat. "There are so many things you might think of."
"Well, I'll give you a little help," returned the Rolling Elephant. "I'm thinking of something that goes up and down and also sideways."
For a moment none of the toys spoke. Then, all of a sudden, the Plush Bear cried:
"You're thinking of the Nodding Donkey! His head goes up and down and also sideways."
"That's right!" admitted the Rolling Elephant. "I didn't imagine you'd guess so soon. Now it's your turn to think of something."
"Let's have the Nodding Donkey give the next question," suggested the China Cat. "It's his birthday, you know, and we ought to help him remember it."
"Go ahead! Give us something to guess, Nodding Donkey!" growled the Plush Bear.
"Let me think," said the new toy, slowly. "Ah, I have it! What am I thinking of that is like a snowball and has two eyes?"
"A snowman!" guessed a wax doll.
