RUFTY TUFTY

After Ruth Ainsworth Chapter I. Rufty Tufty and the Surprise1

Rufty Tufty is a black doll. He has a black face, black hair2, brown eyes, a red mouth and white teeth, as white as snow.

Do you know why he has that name? It's because of his hair. His hair is tufty3. So that is why he has the name Rufty Tufty.

Rufty Tufty does not like to get up early in the morn­ing. One morning Mother says, "It's time to get up, Rufty Tufty." "I don't want to get up," says Rufty Tufty. "Do you want to get a surprise?" asks Mother. Rufty Tufty loves surprises. So he opens his eyes and says:

"Certainly." "I have a surprise for you," says Mother. "Get up!" Rufty Tufty wants to get the surprise very much. He asks, "Is it tasty?" "No, it isn't." "Can I eat it?" "No, you can't." "Can I play with it?" "No, you can't." "Then what is it?" "It's a new red jacket4." "Oh, is that all? It is a bad5 surprise. It isn't a surprise at all. I don't like it," says Rufty Tufty.

"But the jacket has five pockets6," says Mother. "Oh, five pockets... Isn't that nice?!" says Rufty Tufty and jumps out of bed. He is happy.
