A Father's Love

Thank you for finding my doll! Annabelia say 'Hello'!

Here's a gift from your father.

What's that? You went and saw Daddy? And he said he had a gift for me?

Yes. Here it is.

Another new doll? <Frowns> This doesn't look much like me at all, I should think. Poor Daddy. Sometimes I wish he would spend less time making toys and more time with me. Could... could you do something else for me?

Here...

Can you give Annabelia to him? I don't like to be parted from her again, but I think my Dad needs her more than I do.

Please... it would mean a lot to both me and Daddy if you do this. And he really needs my help now. I hope you change your mind.

Why, what's this old ragged thing?

Sophilia told me to give this to you. It's her favorite doll.

My daughter asked you to give me this? But why? It's dirty and old... I've made hundreds of different dolls better and more advanced than this one! But wait... I remember this one... this... this is the first doll I made for her, when I was but a fledgling Toy Maker. She kept it? All this time?

Hey, you're back! <Frowns> I found Annabelia lying on the ground. I hope you didn't leave her on purpose. Please, take her to Daddy. It's very important that he has her.

Just don't forget it this time. I am counting on you!

You haven't given my doll to my Dad yet? Please find Daddy and give my doll to him. Annabelia will help him.
