too bad your three little kittens ran

too bad your three little kittens ran
away"
They had. you know, as I told you in
the two stories before this one. The
three little kittens ate cherry pie with
their nice new mittens on. And they
soIed their mittens. Then they were
so afraid their mother, Mrs. Purr, would
scOld them that they all ran away.
But Mrs. Purr was a kind cat, and
would not have scOlded at all And
when she found her little kittens We're
gone she asked Uncle Wiggily to find
them.
"And you did find the first two,
Fuzzo and Muzzo." said the cat lady.
so ] am sure you can find the third
one. Wuzzo"
Il hope 1 can" Uncle Wiggily said
Il remember now I started off to find
her, but my rheumatism hurt me so I
had to come back to my bungalow.
Pm all right now, though, and I'll
start off"
SO away over the fields and through
the woods went Uncle Wigglly, look
ing for the third little kitten. When
he had found the two others he had
helped them wash the pie juice off
their mittens so they were nice and
clean. And then the kittnes were not
afraid to go home.
Uncle Wiggily looked all over for the
third little kitten. under bushes. up in
trees (fOr cats climb trees. you know,
and even behind big rocks Uncle Wig
gily looked. But no WuzzO could he
find.
At last, when the rabbit gentleman
came to n big hollow log that was lying
on the ground, he sat down on it to
rest. and, all Of sudden. he heard u
voice inside the log speaking. And
the voice asked:
Pussy cat, pussy cat. where have
you been2"
I've been to London to see the
Queen" answered another voice.
Pussy cat pussy cat what did you
there2"
u frightened little mouse, under
her chair" came the answer, and this
time 1t was a little pussy cat kitten
speaking. Uncle Wiggily was sure.
The old rabbit gentleman looked in
one end Of the hollow log and there
surely enough he saw WuzzO. the third
lost kitten.
And besides Wuzzo, Uncle Wiggily
saw Neddie Stubtail, the little bear
boy, who always slept I'm a hollow log
all winter. But this time Neddie was
awake, for Il was near spring.
''Wuzzo. Wuzzo! Is that you? What
are you doing there?' asked Uncle
Wiggily Don't you know your poor
mother is looking all over for you, and
that she has sent me to find you?

crawling out of the hollow log and
Neddie. the boy bear also crawled out
saying:

Uncle Wiggily.

bunny uncle. 1T was not right to do,
but have found the two other lost
kitties. 1 couldn't find you, though.
Why was that
"Because I met Mother Goose" said
Wuzzo. "and she asked me to go to
London to sec the Queen. She took me

to do" said Wuzzo. Then the big

and went back to get Mother Goose,
who stayed to talk to the Queen. SO

very much. So. now the mittens are

"Goodr cried the bunny uncle. Now

She will be glad TO know you fright

third little kitten home, and thus they
were all found And if the cat on our

and scare the lemon pie so it turns
into an apple dumpling, I'll tell you
