Children's Evening Story

night he wondered where he was 60
4 ing to stay, for he hadn't yet found
his fortune and the weather looked
as IL 1t was going to rain. Then. all
of a sudden, he heard voices calling
like this:
Come on. Mamie, you've got to
blind you eyes now. and I'll go hide. :
"All right. Billie" was the answer
And after that we'll get Uncle Butter
to tell us a story"
II guess I know who those children
are thought Uncle Wiggily. though
he had not seen them. That's Billy
and Mamie Goat talking" and surely
enough it was, and, most unexpected
ly the rabbit had come right up to
the house where they lived, on the
edge Of the woods.
Well, you can imagine how glad
Billie and Mamie were to see Uncle
Wiggily.
They danced all around him. and
held him by the paws. and kissed him
between his long ears. and Billie car
ried his satchel for him.
"Oh. we're SO glad you are here!"
they cried. Mamma. Papa. Uncle
Butter Here is Uncle Wiggily!"
Well, the whole goat family was
glad to see the rabbit-traveler and
after supper he told them of his ad.
ventures. and how he wos out seeking
his fortune.
And Billie and Mamie told what
they had been doing. and Mamie show
ed how she could cut things out OF
paper, like the children do in the
kindergarten class in school She
could make little houses, with smoke
coming out of the chimney. and paper
lanterns, and boxes. and, oh! ever so
many things. The lanterns she made
were especially fine, just like Chinese
ones.
Then it came time to go to bed, and
in the night very strange thing hap
pened, and I'm going to tell you all
about it.
Along about IL o'clock. when all was
still and quiet, and when the little
mice were beginning to think it was
time for them TO creep. creep out of
their holes. and hunt for bread and
cheese: about this time there sounded
a queer noise down at the front door
of the goat house.
"Ha! What is that" asked Mrs.
Goat.
Il guess it was the CATS said Mr..
Goat. getting ready 10 go to sleep
