"Unless you want to race with the Lamb on Wheels," said the Bold Tin
Soldier. "She has wheels on her feet almost like your roller skates.
Will you race with her?"

"Thank you, I don't believe I care to race," put in the Lamb. "I am not
used to it. And I might break a leg, and then that nice little girl, who
was petting me to-day, would not want to buy me. I had better not race."

"Just as you like," came from the Elephant. "But I am sorry that my
friend, the White Rocking Horse, has gone. I wonder if I shall ever see
him again."

And the Elephant did see the Rocking chap later on, as you may read in
the book telling "The Story of the White Rocking Horse." It was in a Toy
Hospital where they met, after each had had many adventures.

"Well, if we are not going to have a race, what shall we do?" asked the
Calico Clown.

"Suppose you tell us another riddle," said the Bold Tin Soldier.

"Let the Monkey on a Stick, the Jack in the Box and the Candy Rabbit
have a jumping race!" proposed the Lamb. "They are all good jumpers."

"Oh, yes!" cried all the other toys. "A jumping race would be fine!"

"I'm ready!" said the Jack in the Box, waving to and fro on the end of
his long, slender spring.

"So am I," said the Monkey, as he climbed to the top of his stick.
