Raggedy Ann Stories by Johnny Gruelle, PREFACE AND DEDICATION

PREFACE AND DEDICATION

As I write this, I have before me on my desk, propped up against the telephone, an old rag doll. Dear old Raggedy Ann!

The same Raggedy Ann with which my mother played when a child.

There she sits, a trifle loppy and loose-jointed, looking me squarely in the face in a straightforward, honest manner, a twinkle where her shoe-button eyes reflect the electric light.

Evidently Raggedy has been to a "tea party" today, for her face is covered with chocolate. She smiles happily and continuously.

True, she has been nibbled by mice, who have made nests out of the soft cotton with which she has been stuffed, but Raggedy smiled just as broadly when the mice nibbled at her, for her smile is painted on.

What adventures you must have had, Raggedy!

What joy and happiness you have brought into this world!

And no matter what treatment you have received, how patient you have been!

What lessons of kindness and fortitude you might teach could you but talk; you with your wisdom of fifty-nine years. No wonder Rag Dolls are the best beloved! You are so kindly, so patient, so lovable.

The more you become torn, tattered and loose-jointed, Rag Dolls, the more you are loved by children.

Who knows but that Fairyland is filled with old, lovable Rag Dolls—soft, loppy Rag Dolls who ride through all the wonders of Fairyland in the crook of dimpled arms, snuggling close to childish breasts within which beat hearts filled with eternal sunshine.

So, to the millions of children and grown-ups who have loved a Rag Doll, I dedicate these stories of Raggedy Ann.

Johnny Gruelle.

Коли я пишу ці рядки, переді мною на столі, притулившись до телефону, лежить стара ганчіркова лялька. 当我写这篇文章时，我的桌子上摆着一个旧布娃娃，靠在电话上。 Dear old Raggedy Ann! ||Raggedy| ||ぼろぼろの| Liebe alte Raggedy Ann! 親愛なる古いラガディ・アン！ Querida velha Raggedy Ann!

The same Raggedy Ann with which my mother played when a child. |la misma||||||||||niña 私の母が子供の頃に遊んだのと同じラガディ・アン。

There she sits, a trifle loppy and loose-jointed, looking me squarely in the face in a straightforward, honest manner, a twinkle where her shoe-button eyes reflect the electric light. ||||un peu|lâche||||||directement||||||direct et honnête||||étincelle||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||Funkeln||||||||| |||||desajeitada||||||firmemente||||||||||||||||||| ||||un poco|desgarbada|||articulada|||directamente||||||||||destello|||zapato-button|||||| Da sitzt sie, ein wenig schlaff und mit lockeren Gelenken, und schaut mir direkt und ehrlich ins Gesicht, mit einem Glitzern in den Augen, in denen sich das elektrische Licht spiegelt. そこに彼女は座って、ささいなだらしなく、ゆるい関節で、私をまっすぐに、正直に顔を真っ直ぐに見ています。彼女の靴のボタンの目が電灯を反射するきらめきです。 Ali está ela, um pouco desleixada e com as articulações soltas, olhando-me diretamente na cara, de uma forma direta e honesta, com um brilho nos olhos de botões de sapatos que reflectem a luz eléctrica.

Evidently Raggedy has been to a "tea party" today, for her face is covered with chocolate. Evidentemente||||||||||||||| Offensichtlich war Raggedy heute auf einer "Teeparty", denn ihr Gesicht ist mit Schokolade bedeckt. É evidente que a Raggedy foi hoje a uma "festa de chá", pois a sua cara está coberta de chocolate. She smiles happily and continuously. 彼女は幸せそうに、絶え間なく微笑みます。 Ela sorri alegremente e continuamente.

True, she has been nibbled by mice, who have made nests out of the soft cotton with which she has been stuffed, but Raggedy smiled just as broadly when the mice nibbled at her, for her smile is painted on. ||||grignoté||souris||||nids|||||||||||||||||largement|||||||||||| ||||かじられた||ネズミ|||||||||||||||||||||広く|||||||||||| ||||roída por ratones|||||||||||||||||rellena||||||||||roída por ratones|||||||| Sie ist zwar von Mäusen angeknabbert worden, die aus der weichen Baumwolle, mit der sie ausgestopft ist, Nester gebaut haben, aber Raggedy hat genauso breit gelächelt, als die Mäuse an ihr geknabbert haben, denn ihr Lächeln ist aufgemalt. É verdade que foi mordiscada por ratos, que fizeram ninhos no algodão macio com que foi recheada, mas a Raggedy sorriu igualmente quando os ratos a mordiscaram, pois o seu sorriso está pintado.

What adventures you must have had, Raggedy! Was musst du für Abenteuer erlebt haben, Raggedy! Que aventuras deves ter tido, Raggedy!

What joy and happiness you have brought into this world! Que alegria e felicidade trouxeste a este mundo!

And no matter what treatment you have received, how patient you have been! Und ganz gleich, welche Behandlung Sie erhalten haben, wie geduldig Sie gewesen sind! E independentemente do tratamento que recebeste, como foste paciente! І неважливо, яке лікування ви отримали, наскільки ви були терплячі!

What lessons of kindness and fortitude you might teach could you but talk; you with your wisdom of fifty-nine years. ||||||||||||||||sagesse|||| |||||勇気||||||||||||||| |||||"fortaleza"|tú|||||||||||||| ما هي دروس اللطف والثبات التي يمكن أن تعلمها ولكن يمكنك التحدث عنها؛ لك بحكمتك من تسعة وخمسين عاما. Was für Lektionen an Güte und Tapferkeit könntest du lehren, wenn du nur reden könntest; du mit deiner Weisheit von neunundfünfzig Jahren. Que lições de bondade e fortaleza poderias ensinar se pudesses falar; tu com a tua sabedoria de cinquenta e nove anos. No wonder Rag Dolls are the best beloved! ||poupées en chiffon||||| |No es de extrañar||||||más queridos Não admira que as bonecas de trapos sejam as mais adoradas! You are so kindly, so patient, so lovable. |||||||愛らしい |||||||adorable És tão gentil, tão paciente, tão amável.

The more you become torn, tattered and loose-jointed, Rag Dolls, the more you are loved by children. ||||déchiré|défraîchi|||||||||||| |||||ぼろぼろの|||||||||||| |||||Andrajoso/a|||||||||||| Je zerrissener, zerfledderter und gelenkiger ihr werdet, ihr Lumpenpuppen, desto mehr werdet ihr von Kindern geliebt. Quanto mais rasgadas, esfarrapadas e soltas estiverem, bonecas de trapos, mais amadas serão pelas crianças.

Who knows but that Fairyland is filled with old, lovable Rag Dolls—soft, loppy Rag Dolls who ride through all the wonders of Fairyland in the crook of dimpled arms, snuggling close to childish breasts within which beat hearts filled with eternal sunshine. ||||Pays des fées|||||||||flasques|||||||||||||||||câlin|||enfantin||||||||| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||くぼんだ||||||子供の胸|||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||maravillas|||||||con hoyuelos|brazos regordetes|acurrucándose||||pechos infantiles|||||||| Wer weiß schon, dass das Märchenland voller alter, liebenswerter Stoffpuppen ist - weicher, flauschiger Stoffpuppen, die im Arm von Grübchen durch alle Wunder des Märchenlandes reiten und sich an kindliche Brüste kuscheln, in denen Herzen mit ewigem Sonnenschein schlagen. フェアリーランドは古くて愛らしい縫いぐるみ人形で満たされていることを誰が知っていますか? えくぼの曲がった腕でフェアリーランドのすべての不思議を通り抜け、子供のような胸に寄り添い、永遠の太陽の光に満ちた鼓動の心臓に寄り添う、柔らかくてだらしない縫いぐるみ人形です。 Quem sabe se o País das Fadas não está cheio de velhas e adoráveis bonecas de trapos - bonecas de trapos macias e fofinhas que passeiam por todas as maravilhas do País das Fadas no aconchego de braços com covinhas, aconchegadas junto a seios infantis onde batem corações cheios de sol eterno.

So, to the millions of children and grown-ups who have loved a Rag Doll, I dedicate these stories of Raggedy Ann. Então, para os milhões de crianças e adultos que amaram uma Rag Doll, dedico estas histórias da Raggedy Ann.
