And so Nurse Jane, wiping her paws
on her apron. went TO the telephone
and the Junny uncle, with long
J wooden spoon, stirred and stirred and
stirred the sugar and grapes so they
would not burn.
/ Uncle WiGgily was thinking how
good the jelly would taste on slices
Of turnip bread when cold winter
mornings should come. and he was
I wondering how soon the jelly would
be done when all Of a sudden the
kitchen door opened and IN was poked
the head of the bad. old Sallie
4 GROWER.
! Now the sallie GrowIer is the cross
est animal there IS He Is never good
natured or happy and he always tries
I to make trouble by scratching and
biting. So when Uncle Wiggily saw
him he didn't like It at all, the bunny
gentleman didn't
Please go away from here!" begged
Uncle Wiggily Of the Sallie GrOwler.
! We don't want you around"
That's all the more reason why I'm
going to stay. was the answer, and
the Sallie Grower slid in and sat down
/ on a kitchen chair close to the stove
Please go away?" begged Uncle

with your cross face you'll turn all the

'Ah! Ia! So, it's jelly you're making,

Grower. sticking out his tongue. Poor
Uncle WiggiIy didn't know what to
do He didn't dare leave of stirring
the jelly, for fear il would burn, and
he didn't want to call Nurse Jane away
from the telephone before she had fin
ished talking to Mrs. Kinkytail about
the elephants.
Come. Comet" suddenly cried the
Sallie Grower. Isn't that Jelly made
yet2 I want some"
Tt is not quite done" said the
bunny
Then he stirred It some more, and
pretty soon the Sallie GROWER said
again:
Come. come! Ism, that Jelly done?
I want sonnet"
1T is not quite done" answered the
bunny. and he stirred it some more.
Then pretty soon the Sallie GrOwler
asked for the third time:
"CCome. comet Isn't that Jelly done?
I want sOme,"
Then Uncle wiggily thought Of a
plan.
You NAV take a taste II you like" ?
he said He dipped from the boiling
kettle some Of the Jelly on the long,
wooden spoon and held II out to the
Sallie Grower.

animal But when he had the mouth
full which Uncle Wiggily ladled out 20
him piping hot, the SaIlie Growle-
cried "Oh. wowl OH Scotch-a-ma-
goozle." and away he ran as fast as
he could. TO find a snow bank in which
to cool his tongue
So Uncle WigGily didn't get hurt a
bit, you see, but it's a good thing he
helped make jelly. And If the tooth
