by wetting himself in the brook and
drying himself in the sur he caught
SO bad a cold that for a week or more

Mr.. Fox II he would not come to visit
him and bring some wisdom with him,
for he was still too Ill to 60 out. and,
mor than that. he was lonesome from
staying so much alone in his burrow.
"Tell Jack Rabbit that l will come
this afternoon" said the fox, when the
squirrel had delivered the message,
and early that afternoon he set out for
the visit to the rabbit.
Jack Rabbit certainly was glad to
see him and set out for him the best
that he had in his home. There were
bits Of lettuce and a fine bunch OF
sweet clover, and, most delicate of all
to the rabbits palate, we're tender tops
of some celery plants which had late
