“I feel different,” was the reply.
“Perhaps it’s the new piece of wool that was sewed on him,” said the Jack-in-the-Box, after the Dog had told of his adventure.
“No, it doesn’t seem to be that,” said the Celluloid Doll.
“I know what makes me look different,” said the Woolly Dog. “It’s because that ticklish feeling is gone. All the while, after Jane cut me open and I was sewed up, I had the queerest feeling. It was as though I itched or tickled on the inside.”
“What made it?” asked the Jumping Jack.
“It was the diamond ring,” answered the Woolly Dog. “That ring inside me kept tickling me all the while. Now that it’s out I no longer feel tickled.”
“That’s good,” said the other toys.
“And I am very happy,” went on the Woolly Dog. “Do you think I shall ever be put in a book?” he asked the Jumping Jack.
“Maybe,” answered the Jumping Jack.
And the Woolly Dog was put in a book. This book is the story of his adventures, and I hope you like it.
