"My goodness, that Horse is making a great deal of noise," said a
large Wooden Soldier, one of whose legs was in splints. It had been
broken in three places when the little boy, who owned the Soldier, had
struck him with a drumstick.

"I should say that Horse was making a great deal of noise," agreed a
Tin Poodle Dog, whose tail needed straightening. "What's it all about,
Mr. Horse?" he barked.

"Excuse me, my toy friends, I did not mean to disturb you," said the
White Rocking Horse kindly. "But I was so surprised to see an old
friend of mine here that I just couldn't help calling out."

"Who is your friend?" asked a Double Humped Camel from a Noah's Ark.

"There he is," said the Horse, and he waved his tail toward the animal
which had come out from under the big piece of white paper on the work
bench of the toy hospital doctor.

All the other toys looked, and saw an Elephant. But the White Rocking
Horse did more than look. He cried out:

"To think of seeing you here, my Elephant friend! Why, the last time
we were together was in the toy store!"

"Yes, and I was trying to race with you on roller skates," said the
Elephant, with a laugh. "Wasn't it funny when my skate came off?"

The other toys stared in interest.
