carving a lion and also I do not like lions very
much. Big-Ears asked how he was made.
The strange man began his story, “He first
made wooden feet and wooden legs. Then round
body of wood, also arms and legs too! Then a
wooden neck and round wooden body.” Big-ears
asked, “What are your eyes made up of?”
The little man told him that eyes were made up
of blue beads and his hair made out of bits of
fur. Big-ears asked why he chose to run. The
little man said,”I want to go somewhere where
there are lots of people! I want to live with
them.”
Big-Ears told him that he was going to Toyland.
It is a place where all toys live together. He
told him that he would be welcomed there. The
little man said sadly, “But I do not know the
way.”
Big-ears told him that he knew the way. The
little man was very happy. Big-ears helped him
on his bicycle and told him to hold tightly.
While riding the bicycle the poor little man fell
off a few times.
While riding Big-Ears asked the little man what
was his name. He said, “I did not have name!”
Big-ears after a lot of thought said, “I think
your name is NODDY” and “I think it is” said
Noddy happily.
