"Inorning, and found on the table moth

"Oh, are you down so soon?" asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuZzy, the muskrat
lady housekeeper, coming in from the
side porch. where she was walking up
and down like a policeman, with her
tail draped over her paw. the way a

What's the matter with breakfast"
asked the bunny uncle. I am very
hungry this morning"
oh, beg your pardon" Nurse Jane
made answer. But 1 was so busy
king about them that ! forgot all
about your meal. I'll get it ready at
once Do you think they will fit here"
Fit here2 What fit here? What
were you so busy thinking about
asked Uncle Wiggily.
The hammocks, answered Nurse
Jane. You see I bought two new ones
up at the five and ten cent store the
other day, and I thought il would be
nice II you would put them up on this
side porch-One for you and one for
! me"
-Finer" cried the bunny uncle. I'll
do it at once. Where are the ham
mocks?"
They just came" answered Nurse
Jane. I'll take them out of the bun

And while you're getting breakfast
I'll be putting up the hammocks," said
the bunny gentleman
So Nurse Jane. after opening the five

not gone very far toward that work
when he called out:
''Oh. I say. Nurse Janet Did you get
any hooks with these hammocks?
Hooks? What kind of hooks2' ask
ed the muskrat lady Do you mean fish
hooks2"
NO. I mean hammock hooks2" an
swered Uncle Wiggily. You see, on
each end of a hammock is a rope. and
J this rope, from either end. has TO hang
from a hook fastened to the side OF
the porch. so the hammock will swing
TO and fro. Did you get the hoOks2"
Why. no I didn't" slowly spoke the
muskrat lady, coming TO the door Of
the kitchen with an oatmeal spoon in
her paw. I never thought Of hooks"
Never mind kindly spoke Uncle
Wiggily. III get them after break

So. piling the hammocks neatly in a

went into his hollow stump farm house
and ate his breakfast.
Now I'm off to the hardware store
