w Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy.
the muskrat lady. as she and the
bunny gentleman stood outside the
little seashell and seaweed bungalow
\ down on the ocean beach.
1T is very nice. indeed" answered
Mr.. Longears, as he made little holes
in the sand with the point Of his rheu-
matism crutch, striped red, white and
blue like a barber pole. 1T is almost
as nice as the hollow stump farm house
at home"
Nicer. I think" said the muskrat
klady. 1T is much cooler. And now
for fine vacation"
Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane had
come to the shore Of the back OF the
big fish hawk as 1 told you IN the
story before this one. there oeinS no
room for them in the excursion tram
And now they were at the beach
bungalow.
Uncle WigEily was just putting on
his white trousers and white shoes 10
20 down to the boardwalk. and Nurse
dane was getting out the talcum pow
der so she would not be sunburneo
when there came a call from the bung-
allow next door
.sOh. YOU Uncle Wiggilyi"
.'Ha, Who is there?" asked the ra5-
bit gentleman
7 He looked across and there were
Johnnie and Billie Bushytail. the
squirrel boys

side. in a little sandy bungalow. were
Jackie and Petite Bow Wow. the
1 PUPPY dogs
why How many of my friends
are here" laughed Uncle Wiggily-

auacked some voices. and there were
Lulu Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble,
the ducks. on a little lake not Tar
away. And near them were Sammie
and Susie Littletail. the rabbits. and
'Oh. I'm glad I came TO the shore,"
laughed Uncle Wiggily. making his
nose twinkle like sugar candy on
} Christmas morning We VIII nave
Jolly good times here
Lets all go in bathing" cried Alice
Wibble-wobble. who. being duck, was
very fond of the water.
So Uncle Wiggily, Nurse Jane and
all of them started for the seashore,
which was not far from the bungalows
where they all lived On the way down
Johnnie Bushvtail picked up a big
she'll and began pounding on it with
Boom. Boom, Boomr' went the
IT'S just like drum" said John
$50 it is spoke Uncle wiggily-
Then Sammie Littletail found a hollow
holes in IL with his knife and when
he put a whistle in one end, and blew
on it he made music almost like that
in a circus
why. we'll have a regular concert
soon" said Uncle Wiggily. laughing
Not long after this Jackie Bow Wow
found an old cigar box on the beach
and with a piece Of broomstick he
made a sort of banjo, with sea grass
for strings so that when he snapped
the strings with his paws they made
little tinkling sounds.
Better and better" cried Uncle Wig !
eilv We will have jolly good music |
wherever we go. like the old lady with I
rings on her fingers and Delis on Hei
toes
I wish could make some music"
said Susie Littletail, the rabbit girl

cried Uncle Wiggily. as he walked
along the sand and picked up an
empty cocoanut she'll Then he found
A piece of waxed paper which water
couldn't wet. and tying the paper over
the omen end of the cocoanut shell, and
giving Susie a little stick to use. the
rabbit girl had another kind of drum
that made a "rub-a-dub-dub" sound
like Johnnie's, only different
Then Billie Wagtail, the goat, took
off one of his loose horns and blew
on that until he made such funny
music that you felt like dancing all
the while.
well, I guess we have quite a band !
now" said Uncle Wiggily, as he
walked along with the animal children.
Now if we could only give a concert
I'VE could make some money to buy ice
cream cones. or lollypops-"
And just then up in the pavilion on
the ocean boardwalk, where the sea-
shore people dance a sad vvoice said: |
oh. dear, Where are all my /
musicians? Where is the dance music |
they ought to play? They have run |
away and left me; the people want to /
dance and I have no music"
Just then, on the beach. under the /
place where the band ought to have |
j. been, there sounded the beating of /
drums. the footing of horn. the blow |
ing Of whistles and other music |
sounds
why, what in the world is that?"
asked the band man
"Oh, it's Uncle Wiggily and lot OF !
