1 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep tight stories. Raggedy Ann learns a lesson. One day, 2 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the dolls were left all to themselves. Their little girl 3 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: had placed them all around the room and told them 4 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: to be nice children while she was away. And there 5 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: they sat and never even so much as wiggled a 6 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: finger until their little girl had left the room. Then 7 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: the soldier turned his head and winked at Raggedy Ann. 8 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: And when the front gate clicked and the dollies knew 9 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: they were all alone in the house, they all scrambled 10 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: to their feet. Now let's have a good time, cried 11 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 1: the tin soldier. Let's go in search of something to eat. Yes, 12 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: let's all go in search of something to eat, cried 13 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: all the other dollies. When the little girl had me 14 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: o playing with her this morning, said Raggedy Ann. She 15 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: carried me by a door near the back of the house, 16 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: and I smelled something which smelled as if it would 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: taste delicious. Then you lead the way, raggedy Ann, cried 18 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: the French dolly. I think it would be a good 19 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: plan to elect raggedy Ann as our leader on this expedition, 20 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: said the Indian doll. At this, all the other dolls 21 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: clapped their hands together and shouted, hooray, raggedy Ann will 22 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: be our leader. So raggedy Ann, very proud indeed to 23 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: have the confidence and love of the other dollies, said 24 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: that she would be very glad to be their leader. 25 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: Follow me, she cried, as she her wobbly legs carried 26 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 1: her across the floor at a lively pace. The other 27 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: dollies followed, racing about the house until they came to 28 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: the pantry door. This is the place, cried raggedy Ann. 29 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: And sure enough all the dollies smelled something which they 30 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: knew must be very good to eat. But none of 31 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: the dollies were tall enough to open the door, and 32 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: although they pushed and pulled with all their might, the 33 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: door remained tightly closed. The dollies were talking and pulling 34 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: and pushing, and every once in a while one would 35 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: fall over and the others would step on her in 36 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: their efforts to open the door. Finally, raggedy Ann drew 37 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: away from the others and sat down on the floor. 38 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: When the other dollies discovered raggedy Ann sitting there, running 39 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: her rag hands through her yarn hair, they knew she 40 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: was thinking. Sh sh they said to each other and 41 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: quietly went over near Raggedy Ann and sat down in 42 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: front of her. Hm, there must be a way to 43 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: get inside, said Raggedy Ann. Raggedy says there must be 44 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: a way to get inside, cried all of the dolls. 45 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: Oh I can't seem to think clearly today, said Raggedy Ann. 46 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: It feels as if my head were ripped at this. 47 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: The French doll ran to Raggedy Ann and took off 48 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: her bonnet. Yes, there is a rip in your head, Raggedy, 49 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: she said, and pulled the pin from her skirt and 50 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: pinned up Raggedy's head. It's not a very neat job, 51 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: for I've got some puckers in it, she said. Oh 52 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: that is ever so much better, cried Raggedy Ann. Now 53 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: I can think quite clearly. Yea, Now Raggedy can think 54 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: quite clearly, cried all the dolls. My thoughts must have 55 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: leaked out the rip before, said Raggedy Ann. They must 56 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: have leaked out before, dear Raggedy, cried all the other dolls. 57 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Now I can think so clearly, said Raggedy Ann. I 58 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: think the door must be locked, and to get in 59 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: we must unlock it. That will be easy, said the 60 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Dutch doll, who said, Mamma, when he is tipped backwards 61 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: and forwards, for we will have the brave tin soldier 62 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,239 Speaker 1: shoot the key out of the lock. I can easily 63 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: do that, cried the tin soldier as he raised his gun. Oh, 64 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: raggedy Ann, cried the French dolly. Please do not let 65 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: him shoot. No, said raggedy Ann, we must think of 66 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: a quieter way. After thinking quite hard for a moment, 67 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: raggedy Ann jumped up and said I have it. And 68 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: she caught up the jumping jack and held him up 69 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: to the door. Then Jack slid up the stick and 70 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: unlocked the door. Then the dollies all pushed and the 71 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: door swung open. My such a scramble. The dolls piled 72 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: over one another in their desire to be the first 73 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: at the goodies. They swarmed upon the pantry shelves, and 74 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: in their eagerness spilled a pitcher of cream, which ran 75 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: all over the French dolly's dress. The Indian doll found 76 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: some corn bread, and, dipping it in molasses, he sat 77 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: down for a good feast. A jar of raspberry jam 78 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: was overturned, and the dolls ate from this until their 79 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: faces were all per The tin soldier fell from the 80 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: shelf three times and bent one of his tin legs, 81 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: but he scrambled right back up again. Never had the 82 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: dolls had so much fun and excitement, and they had 83 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: all eaten their fill when they heard the click of 84 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the front gate. They did not take time to climb 85 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: from the shelves, but all rolled or jumped off to 86 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: the floor and scrambled back to their room as fast 87 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: as they could run, leaving a trail of breadcrumbs and 88 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: jam along the way. Just as their little girl came 89 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: into the room, the dolls dropped into whatever position they 90 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: happened to be in. This is funny, cried the little girl. 91 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: They were all left sitting in their places around the room. 92 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: I wonder if Fido has been shaking them up. Then 93 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: she saw raggedy Ann's face and picked her up. Why, 94 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: raggedy Ann, you are all sticky. I do believe you 95 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: are covered with jam. And the little girl tasted raggedy 96 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: Ann's hand. Yes, it's jam. Shame on you, raggedy Ann. 97 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: You have been in the pantry and all the others too. 98 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,679 Speaker 1: And with this the dolls little girl dropped raggedy Ann 99 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: on the floor and left the room. When she came back, 100 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: she had on an apron and her sleeves were rolled up. 101 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: She picked up all the sticky dolls, and putting them 102 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: in a basket, she carried them out under the apple 103 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: tree in the garden. There she had placed her little 104 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: tub and wringer, and she took the dolls one at 105 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: a time and scrubbed them with a scrubbing brush and 106 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: washed them up and down them this way and that 107 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: in the soap SuDS until they were clean. Then she 108 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: hung them out on the clothes line in the sunshine 109 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: to dry. There the dolls hung all day, swinging and 110 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: twisting about as the breeze swayed the clothes line. I 111 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: do believe she scrubbed my face so hard she wore 112 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: off my smile, said Raggedy Ann after an hour of silence. 113 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: No it's still there, said the tin soldier, as the 114 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: wind twisted him around so he could see Raggedy. But 115 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: I do believe my arms will never work without squeaking. 116 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: They feel so rusted, he added. Just then the wind 117 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: twisted the little Dutch doll and loosened his clothes pin 118 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: so that he fell to the grass below. With a 119 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: saw dusty bump, and as he rolled over he said, 120 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: Mamma in a squeaky voice. Late in the afternoon, the 121 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: back door opened and the little girl came out with 122 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the table and chairs. After setting the table, she took 123 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: all the dolls from the line and placed them about 124 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: the table. They had lemonade with grape jelly in it, 125 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: which made it a beautiful lavender color, and little bay 126 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: between e weeny cookies with powdered sugar on them. After 127 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: this lovely dinner, the dollies were taken in the house, 128 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: where they had their hair brushed and nice clean nightgowns 129 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: put on. Then they were placed in their beds, and 130 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: the little girl kissed each one good night and tiptoed 131 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: from the room. All the dolls lay as still as 132 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: mice for a few minutes, and then Raggedy Ann raised 133 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: up on her cotton stuffed elbows and said, I have 134 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: been thinking. Sh sh said all the other dollies. Raggedy 135 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: has been thinking, Yes, said Raggedy Ann, I have been thinking. 136 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: Our little girl gave us the nice dinner out under 137 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: the leaves to teach us a lesson. She wished us 138 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: to know that we could have had all the goodies 139 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: we wished whenever we wished, if we had behaved ourselves. 140 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: And our lesson was that we must never take without 141 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: asking what we could always have for the asking. So 142 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: let us all remember and try never again to do 143 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: anything which might cause those who love us any unhappiness. 144 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: Let us all remember Chimed all the other dollies, and 145 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: Raggedy Ann, with a merry twinkle in her shoe button eye, 146 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: lay back in her little bed, her cotton head filled 147 00:10:44,800 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: with thoughts of love and happiness to
