ELL, what in the world
AA/ have you there. Mr. Long
w ears2" asked Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy, the musBrat lady house
keeper. as Uncle Wiggily. the rabbit
gentleman. came hopping I'D to the
hollow stump bungalow. What in the
world is it,"
aIt's a crow in a cage" replied Uncle
Wiggily in a bird cage, 1 might
say" he went on, slowly turning II
around. like a pinwheel on the Iourtn
Of JrIv, only. of course, IL wasn't
Yes. I can easily see that II is
crow in a bird cage. spoke Nurse
lane as she wiped a dab Of flour off
her nose, for she was Just then making
a potato shortcake with straw perry
sauce on. But what does II meanz
Where did you get him2 And what IS
Just then the crow in the bird cage
dismally said:
-CaW-Cawl"
That's his name" spoke Uncle Wig
gily as he blew some cOrnmeaI our OF
his ear with a shaving brush rms
crows name is Jimmie CaW-CaW and
pretended I was a scarecroW and
caught him"
Pretended you were scarecrow,
and caught him." cried Nurse Jane,
as she quickly tied her tail in a bow
knot and then lOOsened it again
That's just what I did, Uncle Wig
gily answered, perhaps the least bit
proudly, as he had right TO do I
put up a scarecroW to keep Grand
father GoOsey Gander's corn from be-
ing eaten up. but the crows became so
used TO the raggedity, Tapping figure
that they sat on its head and held cav
irg matches on its arms
That would never do, I thought,
50 I got inside the scarecrow myself,
and a little while ago. when the crows
came TO pull up the corn, caught this
Jimmie Caw-Caw in the empty bird
cage"
Il see" said Nurse Jane But now
that you have him, what are you go
ing to do with him.
Il wish you'd let me go, Uncle Wig
gily," said Jimmie CaW-Caw, IN sad
and croaking voice.
Not right away 7 can't let you 90,
Jimmie" Uncle Wiggily said L want
10 keep you a little while. and teach
YOU that IL is not nice to pull up
Grandpa GOosey's corn, as you and
--our friends did. I am going to give
you some much needed lessons"
I'm this cage? asked Jimmie, who
wanted 10 get out and fly.
Yes. in the cage" answered Uncle
Wiggily.
But there was no help for it. He
had been a little bad, though per
haps he had not meant to be- and had
known no better But sui ne must De
taught TO be good So Uncle Wiggily,
who had caught Jimmie in such q
funny way Gas 1 told you in the story
before this one) kept the black feath-
cred chap in the bird cage
The rabbit gentleman explained how
Grandpa Goosey did not like TO have
his corn pulled UP, and how the crows
might much better pick up the worms
and bugs that ate the corn, instead Of
eating the yellow kernels themselves,
and spelling the goose gentleman's
meal corn
-sAII right, III be goodr' promised
Jimmie Caw-Caw, 4 won't pull up any
more corn"
Then III let you out Of the bird
cage" said Uncle Wiggily. And he
did But. by this time, Jimmie was so
fond Of the rabbit gentleman. and also
Of Nurse Jane, that he did not fly
away He had become a tame crow,
and he liked il very much at the hOl-
low stump bungalow
Stay as long as you please" kindly
invited Uncle Wiggily, and Jimmie
CaV-CaW stayed
But in few days some queer things
began to happen. Once Nurse Jane
could not find her thimble, and she
wanted II TO use in sewing up a hole
in Uncle Wiggily's shirt.
where can my thimble have gomez"
