WiggiIy." said Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy. the musIrat
lady, one morning, as she went to
where the bunny rabbit gentleman
vas sitting on the porch OF his hollow
stump bungalow, but I would like

said Uncle Wiggily quickly. TIL do
anything you ask"
Better wait and hear what I am
going to ask" said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy.
IS she tied her tail in a double bow
knot so she would not step on it while
she was washing the dishes. Il fear

vor"
Just name # and see if I WON'T
laughed the bunny
well, then, III like you TO 90 to
the five and six cent store for me and
get q paper Of needles said Nurse
Jane u must mend some Of your
socks and / can't do il without a
needle Now are you sorry you prom
.sed before you knew what I was 60
ing TO ask2'
Uncle Wiggily made a funny face
and wrinkled up his pink, tWlulzing
nose so that il looked like squeezed
rubber ball playing jack StraWS
Never mind whether 7 like il or
not he said III 90 there for YOU.
Nurse Jane and then, brave rabbit
gentleman that he was, off started
Uncle WigEilv for the five and six
Jane She could not go herself as
she had the bungalow work to do
But If there is one thing worse
than another that do not like 10 do.
il is TO go 10 the five and six cent
store where so many little mOusie /
girls wait on you" thought Uncle 4
WiEEilE. They look at my tall silk
haL, at my red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch, at my long ears
and pink Jwinkling nose and then they
giEgle- 7 do not like giEglinE mousie I
girls, though other girls are very 3
nice.
~Stiu a promise is a promise. so 4
must go and get Nurse James needles I
I guess III put on my glasses. so I'll f
look old and dignified like, and then .
maybe they won't EigEIe."
SO Uncle MIgglly, trying to look f.
very sedate, and like a school teacher {
giving his class an examination in +
how 10 make the dishes keep from .
sliding off the multiplication table.
went 10 the five and SIX cent needle
store
And. surely. enough. the mousie girl
clerks did EiEgle, and the bunny gem
tlemau was so flerkosLrated that he
asked for a paper Of pins at first, and
newspaper secondly, and not until
Iiecar girl made believe scratch her
with her claws, did the rabbit gentle
man think OF what he wanted
needles.
When the mousie cried "Ouchr1 II
reminded kim Of some one sticking
thorn in a toy balloon, and that's how
he remembered needles
His ears grew very red and his pink
nose w inkled very fast when he was
waiting lOr his change, but at last
everything was all right and away he
started with The needles
My Eut IT'D glad 10 get out OF
that Thought the bunny uncle ITS
wo-sa than going TO the dentist's.'
Through the weeds and over the
fields he hoped. On his way back 70
the hollow STUMP bungalow. and he
had not gone very far before he heard
q voice crying
~Oh. dear- such trouble as I'm in
On. EyiI no one help m=2'
-Ea- or CJE-Se. III help your cried
Uncle WigEIly IN his most Jolly voice
-In trouble, eh9 That's what I like
20 help folks ont OF IT,"
With thar lie locked around and
saw g beautiful Tel butterfly caught
iu some sticky gum on a pine tree
The poor butterfly was Ili-reriuE
her wings. trying 10 get loose but her
legs we're caught IN the sticky stuff
There you are" cried Uncle Wig
gily. as with one OF the needles from
The paper he had bought in the five
and SIX cent store he loosed the but
.erI-y's legs. without hurting her and 4
