2 Uncle WIGGILE LONGEARS, the
nice old rabbit gentleman. arose
very early one morning and came
down stairs in his hollow stump bun
galow.
"Henol HeHor' he cried. making his
whiskers turn a somersauIt and his
nose twinkle like a star on frosty
night. sHelIoi No breakfast ready YETI
Nurse janet Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy,
what's the trouble2 Why aren't you up
YETI"
Il am up-up stairsl" answered the
muskrat lady hOusekeeper, sort Of jok-
ing like But why are you down 50
early. Mr.. Longears2"
Because there is so much to do to-
day" replied the rabbit gentleman. 4
day" replied to put my winter store Of
carrots in the bungalow cellar today,
and I must get busy early"
-Oh, all right / forgot about the car
rots coming" Nurse Jane said. III be
right down and get your breakfast"
Soon the old rabbit gentleman was
eating his morning meal Of maple su-
gar pancakes with apple sauce
sprinkled on the top. Then he put on
q pair Of overalls, OF old trousers that
didn't care how much dust and dirt got
on them, and be opened the cellar win
dow Of the bungalow so he could put
the carrots In when they came.
Rabbit gentlemen, and rabbit boys
and girls. too. for that matter, like
carrots very much, and Uncle Wiggiiy
had bought a whole cellar full to last
him all winter, when the ground would
be covered with snow. so he could not
dig potatoes or nibble cabbages in the
farmers field
There. now an all ready to put
ny carrots away" said Uncle Wiggily,
as he came up from down cellar, and
looked down the woodland road where
he soon expected the monkey doodle
storekeeper gentleman to appear with
the load Of carrots
And in q little while along came the
monkey doodle He was driving a car
rOt-car drawn by Cup, the kind horse,
who trOtted along very nicely
Here are your carrots, Uncle Wig
gily,F said the monkey doodle gentle
man Where shall ] put them"
Just empty them out Of the wagon
on the ground, near the cellar window"
spoke Mr. LOngears. Then ] can take
my time at tossing them in my bunga-
low cellar. An those are very fine
carrOtS- the rabbit gentleman eX-
claimed, as he nibbled one from the pile
On the wagon.
Back up, Cup called the monkey
doodle Then the horse tipped up the
cart and nicely spilled out the carrots
IN a golden stream in front Of the bun
galow cellar window. just as the coal
men dumped a load of coal
Ny What a lot of carrots cried
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy. as she looked
from her kitchen. where she was tick
ling an egg with the sugar spoon TO
make IL jump into a cake and be baked.
Wen never be able to eat all those
carrots, WisEy."
oh. I think we viii" replied the
bunny uncle. This is going to be a
long winter"
Then he began TO toss in through the
open window the sharp yellow carrots,
so they would fall in a bin down in the
cellar
Big carrots there were. and little
ones; some were fat and round. like
lolypOps, while others were long and
thin. like a stick OF macarOni.
When Uncle WiEgily had tossed in
about half Of the carrots he said.
Now ] VIII 90 down cellar and pile
them up nicely before toss in the rest
Otherwise ! won't have room for them
ALL
The old gentleman rabbit sat down to /
rest on the pile of carrots in his cellar.
and. as II was nice and warm and dark I
down there, pretty soon he fell asleep.
Right down cellar, on the pile Of car
rots, with big fat one for a pillow, /
lay Uncle WigEily. fast asleep.
After while along through the I
woods came Sammie LittletaiI, the rab- 4
