And Just then the land ship blew

ing Billie out The squirrel boy fell
on some moss, so he wasn't hurt much
But the land ship was broken all to

ONCE upon time, not so very many
" years ago, Uncle Wiggily Long
ears. the rabbit gentleman, went for a
walk in the woods about a mile from
his hollow stump bungalow. All OF
a sudden he heard a pounding and a
banging noise
"Oh, dear me, I hope that isn't a
woodpecker bird, trying to sharpen
his bill, to get ready to bite meF'
thought the bunny.
Then he heard a cheerful whistle
and a voice sang;
"Oh, no! Oh, humi III have a jolly
trip.
For I am going sailing in my new
land ship"
Hunt That's rather queer" said
Uncle Wiggily 70 himself. Il guess I
needn't be afraid Of anything. and. as
I never heard Of a land ship before I'll
have TO see what il is"
So he peeked through the bushes,
and there, under a tree. he saw Billie
Bushytail. the squirrel boy Billie had
with him an express wagon, some
sticks, piece Of bed sheet some
nails, hammer and bits Of rope.
We'll, Billier' exclaimed the bunny
uncle What are you mazinE2"
"A land ship" answered the squirrel
boy.

Uncle Wiggily wanted to know.

on the water" explained Billie. An
air ship, such as you have, sails in
the air, but a land ship sails on land
"Oh. you mean a sort Of automo-
bile said the bunny.
Not exactly" spoke Billie, like a
man asking for votes at election time.
You see an automobile goes by gaso-
line, but my land ship will go by wind.
I am going TO fasten a sail to my ex-
press wagon, and the wind will blow
