! served him right Come on, hop in the
basket" ..
So Uncle Wiggily got in the basket
and the crow, taking the handle In his
strong beak, flew safely to the ground
with him. And that's how the OLD
gentleman rabbit got down out of the
tree. just as told you he would.
So he and the crow walked on some
| distance through the woods together
! after Uncle Wiggily had picked up his
! crutch and valise, which had fallen out
fthe basket, and they got safely
! away before the alligator came out OF
the water. And wasn't he the provok
ed old beastie, though, when he saw
| that his rabbit supper was gone?
Where are you going?' asked the
! crow OF Uncle Wiggily, after BIT,
| when they got to a nice big stone, and
sat down for a rest.
Il am seeking my fortune" replied
| the old gentleman rabbit, and trying tn
get better of my rheumatism. DR.. Pos,
sum told me to travel and have adven-
lures and I've had quite few already.
"Well, l hope you find your fortune
and that it turns out to be very good
one," said the kind crow. But it is
coming on night now. Have you any
place to stay?" sr.- r, r-,.~ .s,.
mo" replied the rabbit. II haven't
| never thought about that What shall
I do?"
"Oh, don't worry said the crow.
I'D let you stay in my nest, but it is
up in high tree, and you would have
trouble climbing in and out. But near
my nest house is an old hollow stump,
and you can stay in that very nicely"
Are there any bears in it 2" asked
Uncle Wiggily, careful like.
Oh, no; not one 1t is very safe"
So the crow showed Uncle Wiggily
where the hollow stump was, and he
slept there all night, on soft bed Of
leaves. And when he awakened in the
morning he had breakfast with the
crow and once more started off to seek
his fortune. ....
Well, pretty soon, in short while
not so very long, he came to a little
house made of bark, standing in the
middle Of deep, dark, dismal woods.
And on the door of the house was
sign which read:
."1f you want to be surprised open
this door and come in"
Perhaps I can find my fortune in
there and get rid of the rheumatism
thought Uncle Wiggily, so he hoped
forward. And just as he did so he
heard voice calling to him:
Don't go in! Don't go in there,
Uncle Wiggily!"
The rabbit loked up and saw John.
ME Bushytail, the squirrel boy, waving
his paws at him. Well. Uncle Wiggily
started to jump back away from the
door of the little house, but it was
too late. Out came a scraggily- raggjly
claw, which grabbed him, while voice
cried out:
