Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the musk

NO, but some other bug may" said
Nurse Jane.
~Oh. I guess not spoke the bunny
confident like But he was wrong and
Nurse Jane was right Hardly had
Uncle Wiggily started TO jump
through the woods and across the
fields, looking for an adventure, than
out from under mulberry bush

green and yellow insect This was
the WazZle Bug

Skeezicks- pointing 10 Uncle Wig
gily. who was hoping down the path.
DO you think. Mr. Wazzle Bug, that
you can catch him for me2'
"Of course, I can" said the Wazzle
Bug Leave il 10 me

the Skeezicks. 4 don't want his hat
I want him.
And III get him for you" said the
WaZzle Bug. Listen"
So, like a telephone girl the Skee-
zicks listened, and the Wazzle Bug
went on;
'.As Uncle Wiggly sleeps I'll hide
inside his tail, silk hat Then. when
he wakes up. I'll be there. He'll put
his hat on his head, and then the fun

What fun?" asked the Skeezicks.
Fun for you and me, but not for

So the Wazzle Bug did. He flew
along through the air until he came

Of sea weeds and pine shavfnEs-the

"lapkara" for the stranger. 1t is a
weird performance. the ancient tribal
dance; the dancers hop gravely
AROUND IN a uuse ring. calling out the
names and relating the private his
