w morning, Uncle WiggiIy ~
asked Jimmie Caw-Caw, the
black crow boy, as he fluttered down
from his nest house in the tall pine
tree and hOpped up on the porch of the
hollow stump bungalow. where the rab-
DIT gentleman was stopping during his
visit TO crow land Where are You
going, Uncle Wiggily?" asked Jimmie
''Oh, just for a little fly in my air
ship" answered the rabbit. 4 can't
fly with wings as you do, so I must use
an airship.'
Please, may go with your asked
Jimmie, making a polite little bow with
his beak- Then he looked about with
his bright and shining eyes for some
thing that he might hide, such as q
pair Of Uhlmbles or spool or scissors
Crows Just love to hide things, you
know
I'm afraid you can't come this morn
ing. Jimmie" the rabbit gentleman
said. i am going in my airshfp on
quite long trip, up near the clouds,
and I viii not be back in time for you
10 go 10 school"
"Oh, school doesn't matter2' cawed
Jimmie.
Yes, IL does" the rabbit gentleman
answered 4Ou must go TO school
when -yOu are young so you viii know
things when you are old and cannot go.
Besides school does not last many
weeks more Now fly along, like a good
boy"
So Jimmie flew off to school. and
Uncle Wiggily went for a ride in his
clothesbasBet airship, wondering what
sort Of an adventure would happen to
him today.
Now first I'm going to tell you what
happened TO Jimmie CaW-CaW and
then what happened to Uncle Wiggily.
and last Of all what happened to both
Of them together.
Jimmie, the crow boy, went on to
school but all the while he wished he
was off airshipping with the rabbit
gentleman And every now and then
the crow chap would look about for
something he might take away and
hide, such as a sparkling diamond ring
or a bit Of red glass
But Jimmie saw nothing with which
he might play tricks until recess time.
when all the animal and bird children
were let out Of the hollow stump
school for q play period
Then, all at once, over in one corner
OF the yard, where most likely, some Of
the kindergarten animals had forgot
ten it, was a toy elephant, made OF
cloth. stuffed with sawdust, like a
doll. or a Teddy bear.
"Oh, hOH' exclaimed Jimmie. when
he saw this. There is something for
me TO hidei An animal with two
tailsr' You see he thought the ele-
plants trunk (Which the big animal
uses 10 PICK up peanuts and drink pink
circus lemOnade) was a second tail. But
Of course it wasn't
Two tails. eh?" exclaimed Jimmie.
well, one IS enough for anybody. I'll
just take off one Of your tails. and
hide #" And Jimmie pulled off the
real tail Of the stuffed toy elephant,
leaving the trunk still on The tail
was hanging by a few threads so il
did not hurt the toy elephant any to
pull il off.
Now I wonder where I shall hide it2''
thought Jimmie to himself. He looked
around for a good place, but Just then
the bluebeu flower Of the hollow
stump school rang. and all the animal
children had to go in Recess was over.
Jimmie had no time 10 hide the toy
elephants tail, so he put it under his
wing, in a pocket Of his jacket
Well, now for what happened to
Uncle Wiggily. The old rabbit gentle
