onkey did it when Herbert pulled the string, and all the boys and girls said it was fine, and that the show was one grand affair. The Monkey did several other tricks, and then Herbert's mother, outside the tent, called, just like a circus vendor: "Here's your pink lemonade! Here's your pink lemonade!" And, as true as I'm telling you, she had made a big pitcher of sweet lemonade for the children, and had colored it pink with strawberry juice. "Oh! Ah! Um!" said the boys and girls, and, really, I think the lemonade was almost as good a part of the show as the tricks of the Monkey, the fight of the Tin Soldiers, or the dance of the Sawdust Doll. "Well, the show is over. I wonder what will happen next," said the Lamb on Wheels to the Bold Tin Captain. "Maybe the children will have another," said the Monkey. "But, while we have the chance, I would like to talk to my friends the Sawdust Doll, the Bold Tin Soldier, the White Rocking Horse, and all the others." And so the toys talked among themselves, and told of their different adventures, just as I have told you in the different books. And they all said the Monkey was very brave to have driven away the bad Goat as he had done. "I'd like to know what the Calico Clown is doing all this time, since we came away from the toy store," said the Monkey, after a while. "So would I," put in the Sawdust Doll. "I wonder if anything has happened to him." And as perhaps you children are wondering the same thing, I have decided to make the next book about that funny chap. The volume will be called "The Story of a Calico Clown." He had many wonderful adventures to tell about. As for the Sawdust Doll, the Lamb on Wheels, the White Rocking Horse, the Candy Rabbit, the Bold Tin Soldier and the Monkey on a Stick, why, they had some strange adventures, too, and they took part in another show. But this is all I have to tell you just now about the Monkey on a Stick, except to say that he lived for many years with Herbert and Madeline, and had many happy times.
