] TO 20 10 the store TO get the cheese
[ and he was so anxious TO have Nurse

I fancy stuff with il. to make a Welsh

home and did not stop TO look for an
adventure.

/ what YOU are going 70 make" said
Uncle Wiggily. DO adventures ever
come after Welsh rabbits?'
"Oh. yes. often" said the muskrat
lady. laughing.
why DO they call them welsh
rabbits?" Uncle Wiggily wanted 20
know. Are the cheese kind any re-
lation TO me2"
We'll IL you eat too much welsh
rabbit you may jump out OF bed,
said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, and as you
are jumping rabbit 1 suppose the
name came from that"
But ] won't eat too much" said
Uncle Wiggily.
Then Nurse Jane made the Welsh
rabbit She melted the chees in the
double boiler or oatmeal cooker, so
il wouldn't burn. and she put in some
thick cream and some pepper and
salt and " worcestershire sauce and
other things. making a very rich and
tasty Welsh rabbit indeed.
"Oh, il is mOst-de1icious." exclaimed
Uncle WigEily, as he ate some Of il
On toasted crackers and bread 1t
is scrumptous.'
Don't eat too much.~ warned Nurse
Jane. You don't want bad dreams
mo. indeed" said the bunny. And
to make sure that I viii not eat too
much Welsh rabbit III put some IN
dish and take 1t over TO my friend,
Grandfather Gcosey Gander-"
So Uncle Wiggily did, soon hopping
across the fields and through the
woods &c Grandpa GOosey's house
But before he got there, something
happened. All Of a sudden a bad old
fuzzy fox sprang out from behind
stump and grabbed Mr. Longears-
Where are you goingZ' asked the
fox.
I'm going TO Grandfather Goosey
Gander's," answered Uncle Niggily
oh. hot No you're uotT snickered
the fox You're going TO stay right
here with me And what have you IN
that dish2' he asked, seeing that the
bunny was carrying something.
7 have a Welsh rabbit said Mr.
Longears-
"Oh. no you haven't!' snickered the
fox. for I have it," and with that
he ate the Welsh rabbit, cheess crack
ers and toast all up.
Well I never ate rabbit from
Wales before" said the fox But IL
was very good. Now, as feel sleepy.
III just tie you fast 10 my tail so
you can't get away, and III take q
little nap. After that I'll carry you
off 10 my den"
So the bad fox tied poor Uncle Wig
gily fast with a rope from a vile
grape vine. and then the fox went to
sleep. Uncle Wiggly tried 10 get
way. but he couldn't. and then all Of
a sudden. the fox got the nightmare
and had a bad dream from eating so
much Welsh rabbit that didn't be-
long to him.
"Oh, my, Oh, dear, This is ter
rible." cried the fox in his sleepy, /
bad dreams. Il am being chased by .
purple cows and green aIligators with I
red noses. I must get away
With that, he gave spring and a 1
jump. in his Welsh rabbit dream, and i
he broke the vine that held him to I
Uncle Wiggily, and away ran the fox (
over the hills in his sleep. and the j
bunny was left safely alone
Then he went back and got more I
toasted chees for Grandpa Goosey, |
and ne was glad Nurse Jane had made 1
the Welsh rabbit And next. II the
