Wuzzy' me muskra lady. one thoin.hs

gentleman was sitting on the porch OF

Better wait and hear what am go
Ing to ask" said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, as
n tied her tail in a double bow knot
SO n would not step on 1t While she
was washing the dishes. Il fear you VIII
not want to do me this favor" -.
Just name it and see if I won't"
the bunny.
wei, then, I'd ike you to go to me
. and + cent store for me and get a
paper OF needles said Nurse Jane. i
must mend some of your SOCKS and l
can't do it without a needle. Now are
you sorry you promised before you

Wrlnkled up his pink, twlnkling nose SO

blue striped rheumatism crntch, at my
long ears and mink nose and
then they giggle. do not ike gig
Cling mousie girls. though other girls
are very nice.
Still a pronalse is a promise. so /
must go and get Nurse lanes needles
I guess I'll nut on nv glasses. so mi
look old and dignified like, and then
maybe they won't giggle."
SO Uncle Wiggily, trying to look very
sedate and like a school teacher giving
his class an examination in how to
make the dishes keep from sliding off
the multiplication table. went to the 5
and s e needle store.
And, surely enough, the mousie girl
clerks did giggle, n the bunny gentle
man was so fierkostrated that he asked
for a paper of pins at first, and a news
paper secondly, and not until a mousie
girl cried OUGHT" when a kittiecat girl
claws, did the rabbit gentleman think
Of what he wanted-needles.
When the mousie cried "OuchI" II re-.
minded him Of some one sticking a
thorn in a toy balloon, and that's how
he remembered needles.
His ears grew very red and his pink
nose twinkled very fast. when he was
waiting for his change. but at last
everything was all right and away he
started with the needles.
my! But I'm glad to get ont Of
that" thought the bunny uncle. DTS
