You silly toys go right ahead, if you think you can. But Louisa, the beautiful doll, said, “What foolish ideas you have! I have never done any work before, and I’m sure I won’t begin now. “And well get started right now on the toy train for Peter,” said Hans and William, two strong and clever toy soldiers. The toys were eager to create additional Christmas gifts. “I’ll make the softest, most cuddly pink rabbit ever for little Karen.” We can make the special gifts for the children for Christmas!” Then Harold, one of the most handsome of the toy soldiers, had an idea. They had heard and seen the poor children wishing for Christmas toys. Then he and Katerina closed the shop and went out into the snowy night.Īfter Cornelius and Katerina left, the toys in the little shop suddenly seemed to awaken and come to life. And I have no time left to make any more.” So Cornelius carefully put all his tools away.

After the children and their mother left, Katerina was unhappy. Sadly, she and the children left the shop. She had only a few pennies to spend, certainly not enough for these wonderful toys. Little Karen touched the cuddly pink bunny.īut the mother sighed. “How I wish I could have it for my very own.” Lisa, his sister, smiled shyly at the beautiful princess doll.

He had already finished a shiny pair of ice skates and a beautiful doll!Īt that moment, the bell on the shop door tinkled. Christmas seems to get busier every year.”Ĭornelius the toymaker was on the right track. “But I still have to make the wooden toy soldier for Edward. “At least those are ready for Caroline and little Tommy,” he said. Little Charles will be disappointed if he doesn’t have his train for Christmas.” Cornelius pointed to a doll and a pair of skates he had just finished. “I have to finish this toy train before I can stop for supper.
