, hurt, except for being shaken I'D, and
the auto was not hurt, except for be-
ing all mud, but that would wash off
so I guess I'll 90 on to Grandfather
! Goosey Gander's house and play game
} Of bean bag" said the bunny uncle 10
himself And then he stopped short, a
funny look came over his face under
his pink nose and he said:
"Ha, hum That doesn't sound Just
right Now did 1 start out TO go play
checkers with Grandpa Goosey2'
That doesn't seem lust right" he
said. = believe I started out to buy
A new turnip steering wheel for nv au-
tomobile and yet that doesn't seem
right either"
Uncle Wiggily thought a little longer
and then he said:
oh, now I remember I was going
TO see how much there was left of
Beckie Stubtails mud pie after we put
some on the nose of Susie Littletafl nv
rabbit niece. where the bee stung her.
Of course"
Ana yet the more Uncle Wiggily
thought of that the less sure he was
Of being right
It's very queer,' he said But
seem TO have forgotten what I started
out to get Let me try to think"
So he thought as hard as he could.
but the more he thought the more he
forgot The truth was that spinning
around so fast in his automobile in the
about what ne wanted to do
Gould il be that 1 was going TO go
out sailing in my airship, and that il
turned into an automobile instead?T he
asked himself But, do what he did he
could not remember
All of q sudden Uncle Wiggily saw
Mamie Wagtail, the little goat girl,
coming along through the woods. Nan
ME had a little basket on her hoof and
she wore a sunbonnet on her head.
NlnmfpN' cried "
DO you know what il is I have for
gotten?"
why, no, Uncle wiggily. I'm sorry
to say 1 do not" answered Mamie
w hats the natter"
Then Uncle Wiggily told about start
ing out in his automobile, and how IL
went crooked and sideways in the slip
perry mud puddle and made his head so
dizzy that he forgot everything he
had ever remembered
Did you start out 10 go to some
Dodys dinner party2" asked Mamie.
after she had mentioned a number of
things, none Of which Uncle Wiggily
thought was right.
No. it wasn't a party" said the
bunny.
Then I'll tell you what TO do said
Mamie. You come and help me pick
bouquet. II is almost May, and the April
showers have brought out some early /
flowers Help me to fill my basket" !
So Uncle Wiggily did, walking
through the woods with the little goat 2
girl, gathering the pretty posies.
Soon Eannie's basket was full and .
she held it I'd TO Uncle Wiggily's pink
nose, saying: /
Take a good. long smell, and see
how sweet they are"
The bunny gentleman smelled and I
shifted and then. all of a sudden one /
fuzzy flower tickled his nose and he I
sneezed- r-choO ker-snitzior'
Hal Now I remember, Now I re-
member he cried. The flowers made
me sneeze- When you sneeze you are
"a tching cold. Nurse Jane has a cold
and I was 10 get her some medicine for
it, remember now" and away he hur-
red in his automobile to the five and
six cent store and bought the medicine,
which soon cured the muskrat lady.
So you see Nannies bouquet made
he bunny gentleman remember what
le forgot and If the flour barrel doesn't |
blossom like a rose and turn into
Itrawberry shortcake I'll tell you next
bout Uncle Wiggily's home run
