"I guess your little girl must have dropped this rag doll down into the
drain pipe!" the man said to Mama.

"I'm so glad you found him!" Mama said to the man.

"We have hunted all over the house for him! Marcella could not remember
where she put him; so when I get him nice and dry, I'll hide him in a
nice easy place for her to find, and she will not know he has been out
in the rain all night!"

So Mama put Raggedy Andy behind the radiator and there he sat all
afternoon, steaming and drying out.

And as he sat there he smiled and smiled, even though there was no one
to see him.

He felt very happy within and he liked to smile, anyway, because his
smile was painted on.

And another reason Raggedy Andy smiled was because he was not lonesome.

Inside his waist were the two little penny dolls.

The man had punched Raggedy Andy farther down into the pipe, and he had
been able to reach the two little dolls and tuck them into a safe place.

"Won't they all be surprised to see us back again!" Raggedy Andy
whispered as he patted the two little penny dolls with his soft rag
hands.
