laugh, and please be sure there are
yards and yards and yards Of ribbon
As many as can carry" said the
Then he Topped on through the
woods and over the fields from mis-
hollow stump bungalow
Pretty soon he same 70 the notion
store where q ladybug sold hair RIB
bons.
The biggest pink one you have for
Alice WibbiewobbIe. the duck girl Or
y am to meet her after school and
give her this bow Tor her hair
VERY well.s' said the ladybug store
keeper, and she cut off A large slice
Of ribbon-well, maybe not a slice
but, however, ribbon comes for hair
bows. Perhaps I should have said
chunk
Anyhow the ladyoug cut some off.
and When she wrapped it up for Uncle
Wiggny TO carry, the bunny gentleman
asked:
Isn't It a little too large
"Oh, no. there are only sixteen eleven
yards in it." answered the ladybus-
Some girls wear more than forty-two-
six-seven yards, and their bows are 50
big they can't look at them all at once
in a looking glass. They have to take
two peeks TO see them all.
"Oh, dear" cried Uncle Wiggily,
holding up two paws, this time.
However, he took Alice's new hair
ribbon, which was almost as large as
a loaf OF bread, and back toward the
hollow stump school with 1t he started
I hope Alice will like it," thought
the bunny. 1t certainly Is pink
enough; pinker. even than my nose
and surely there are yards ana yards
and yards OF it. Too much, 1 think
but
And then, all Of a sudden, Uncle
Wiggily slipped on = wet leaf. and
down he went-''ker-b bunk -sprainins
his left front paw:
man. 4 am hurt. AIy paw is badly
sprained and I don't believe 1 can meet
Alice at school and give her this new
hair ribbon Oh; dear, VIII no one help
why yes, Of course. III help you"
said a voice. and along came Dr.. Pos
sum What's the matter. Oncle Wig
gily2" he asked.
oh answered the bunny. I've
sprained my paw, ana can hardly
walk, let alone hopping, and-and-'
Now Just sit down on this log and
please keep still and don't worry" said
Dr. Postum Let me look al your
paw. Yes, IL IS a bad sprail, but IL I
had something with which to make a
sling, so you could put il around your
neck and rest your paw in II. then you
could hop along 10 my office and I
could make you comfortable" and the
animal doctor looked very wise
But I haven't any bandage cloth !
with me TO make sling FROM and !
don't see any around here, and
Uncle WiEEilv spoke sorroWfully.
Use some OF my hair ribbon" sud /
denly cried Alice. the duck girl, who 7
came along just then She had hurried |
out Of school to meet Uncle WiSEily, I
so she would get her bow more quick \
Use some OF my ribbon she said /
Il think Uncle Wiggily bought me more l
than I need Anyhow the lady mouse !
school teacher says We must wear /
smaller bows on our hair Some OF the I
animal children had TO stay out OF /
school today because the room was SO /
full Of hair ribbon bows So cut off as /
much Of my pink ribbon as you need, /
Dr.. Postum"
I WILL said DR.. Postum and he did !
From tie pink ribbon he made q sling
for Uncle Wiggily's poor lame paw, AMI /
the bunny uncle could hop along with
put 50 much pain
Then Alice took what was left OF the
ribbon and made neat little bow for |
ner hair, but. after all, IL was a good |
thing Uncle Wiggily bought yards AMI
Yards and yards wasn't il.
So everything came out all right. |
