RUFTY TUFTY²

(After Ruth Ainsworth)

Part I

Rufty Tufty and the Surprise³

Rufty Tufty is a black doll. He has got a black face, black hair, brown eyes, a red mouth and white teeth, as white as snow. Do you know why he has got that name? It’s because of his hair. His hair is tufty. So that is why he has got the name Rufty Tufty.

Rufty Tufty does not like to get up early¹ 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 jacket.” “Oh, is that all? It is a bad surprise. It isn’t a surprise at all. I don’t like it,” says Rufty Tufty. “But the jacket has got five pockets,” says Mother. “Oh, five pockets… Isn’t that nice?!” says Rufty Tufty and jumps out of bed. He is happy.

Mother and the Surprise

Mother asked him to come to the kitchen² to have his breakfast. She gave him porridge and milk for breakfast and went to the garden to work.

At that time somebody came into their garden. Rufty Tufty wanted to know who it was. He quickly jumped up and ran up to the window. All the hot porridge was on his new red jacket! He didn’t know what to do! Then he decided¹ to wash his jacket. He ran to the bathroom and washed his jacket with hot water.² Rufty Tufty’s mother came into the bathroom and looked at Rufty Tufty.

Rufty Tufty Had an Idea

Rufty Tufty lived in Doll Village.⁷ The people who lived in the village were very nice and kind.

But sometimes a man who was not nice or kind visited their village. This man was Mr Shilling, the shopman.⁸ When he came up to the village, all the doll-children quickly ran home.

In Town⁹ Mr Shilling had a toy-shop. He sold¹⁰ balloons, teddy-bears, toy-monkeys, toy-giraffes, toy-dogs and cats and other toy-animals. He sold dolls, too.

One day, when Mr Shilling visited the village again, all the doll-children ran home. Rufty Tufty ran home, too. His mother was not at home.

Mr Shilling came up to their house and said, “Who wants some fun¹? Who wants to have some fun? Who wants to have a good time? Come with me! Come with me! Come with me to see the world!”²

Certainly Rufty Tufty wanted to have some fun. Certainly he wanted to see the world. But certainly he didn’t want to go with Mr Shilling whom he didn’t like.

Rufty Tufty said, “Buzzbuzz-buzzzzzz…” Then he took the pin and pushed⁵ it into Mr Shilling’s back.⁶ Mr Shilling jumped up and the bag fell to the ground.¹ “Oh, help me, help me!” cried² Mr Shilling and ran home. He left³ his bag with Rufty Tufty in it on the ground. But Rufty Tufty could not get out of the bag.

“Is there anything in the bag for supper?” asked Mother Owl. “What is there in the bag for supper?” asked his three little children. “I am sorry I don’t know,” said Father Owl. “But I think it’s a nice tasty hare.

Stop!” said Rufty Tufty. “I am a doll. You can’t eat me!” “Why not?” asked the hungry little children.

“Because I’m poisonous,² very, very poisonous.” “Oh, what a pity!” said Mother Owl. “But it’s very kind of you to warn³ us. Thank you very much.” “Not at all,” answered Rufty Tufty. “I think it’s time to go home now. My mother is waiting for¹ me. I’m sorry about your supper. Goodbye!” “Goodbye!” said the Owl family. “What a pity you are so poisonous. Goodbye!” Rufty Tufty ran home very quickly. His mother was very glad² to see him.

Part VI

Rufty Tufty and Rose Went to Town

Rufty Tufty is always happy. But one day he was not happy. That was when he thought of the dolls in Mr Shilling’s toy-shop. Rufty Tufty knew that Mr Shilling wanted to sell them.

He said to his friend Rose: “Can we do anything to help the dolls in Mr Shilling’s shop?”

“I think we can do nothing,” said Rose. “The Town is not near our village. The doors³ and the windows in the shop are usually closed.⁴ And Mr Shilling is an angry⁵ man!”

“But let’s go to the shop at night. I think we can get into the shop and help the dolls,” said Rufty Tufty.

“All right, let’s go,” said his friend Rose.

That day Rufty Tufty and Rose told their mothers that they were not very well, and they went to bed earlier than usual. But when their mothers said good night to them and went away, they got up, dressed quickly and went out into the street.

They walked to Town. Soon they were in the forest.¹ The moon was high² up in the sky.

They walked, and walked, and walked. They passed by³ a lake, a large field and high hills.

When they came to Town it was night. There was nobody in the streets. There were no lights⁴ in the houses.

At last they came to Mr Shilling’s shop. All the doors and windows were closed. How could they get into the house? Then Rufty Tufty had an idea!

“The chimney!⁵” he said. “We can get into the house through⁶ the chimney!”

Rose didn’t want to go through the chimney, but she didn’t want to show it, so she said, “All right, let’s go!”

Rufty Tufty went first, of course. Rose went after him. Oh, they didn’t like it there, in the chimney! And the chimney was very, very long! At last they were in the room. As there was no light in the room, they could not see anything. But they heard “hrrr… hrrr…”.

Part VII

Rufty Tufty and Rose Helped the Dolls

They didn’t know what it was or who it was. They didn’t know what to do. “Well, I think it’s a pig,” said Rufty Tufty at last. “Why does Mr Shilling have a pig in the room, I wonder?” said Rose. “I shall flash my torch¹ and we shall see where the pig is,” said Rufty Tufty. He flashed his torch, but they didn’t see any pig! They saw Mr Shilling in his bed! He was asleep. It was he who said “hrr… hrr…”. On the table near his bed they saw keys.²

Rufty Tufty quickly took the keys and they ran to the room where the dolls were.

They saw a lot of different dolls there: boys and girls, big and little, black and white, brown and yellow, old and new.

The dolls were very glad to see Rufty Tufty and Rose. “Have you come to help us to get out of Mr Shilling’s shop?” they asked. “Certainly,” said Rufty Tufty and Rose. “Please, help us get out of here. It’s very difficult to live in Mr Shilling’s house. He is a very bad man. He is always angry. And we are always hungry and tired.¹ Do help us!” “We shall try² our best to help you,” said Rufty Tufty.

Rufty Tufty opened the door of the shop. There was nobody in the street. There were no lights in the houses because it was still night.

“How shall we all get back to our Doll Village?” thought Rufty Tufty. “Some of the dolls are little children. They can’t walk. What shall I do?” Then he had an idea. He saw a lot of toy-cars in the shop. “Now I know what to do!” he said. “Get into the cars! That is how we shall get back to our Doll Village! Take any car you like!”

All the dolls got into the cars. And away they went! Very soon they were in their Doll Village. Fathers and mothers and children ran out of the houses. They were very glad to see the doll-children in their Doll Village again. They all thanked Rufty Tufty and Rose. Rufty Tufty and Rose were very happy, too.

Now they had a lot of new good friends.
