First Line of Dialogue or Text
A tin soldier! Oh, my!
Genre
anthropomorphic-funny animals; children; fantasy-supernatural; humor
Characters
Mary Jane; Sniffles
Synopsis
The new boy next door is abusing his toys. To teach him a lesson, Mary Jane recites her rhyme, but uses his name instead of hers to shrink him. He eventually learns his lesson and repairs his broken toys when he is returned to normal size.

Indexer Notes

Oddly, the new boy doesn't bother to question how or why he is suddenly made small and why his toys can now talk to him. This may be the only time that anyone other than Mary Jane is affected by the rhyme.
