So the next day Uncle wiggily got
out his hammer and saw and plane
and nails and tack puller and cork
screw and other things-whatever you
need to make a dish Closet-and he be-
gan.
First. he ordered a big packing box

very busy, hammering n saving and
whistling, and now and then hitting
his thumb and popping it into his
mouth so he wouldn't have to talk,
and then something else happened.
About this time the skillery- scalery
alligator was walking along the road,
sort of hurrying, because 1t was cold
n frosty, and he met the Pipsisewah,
Hello" said the Pipsisewah to the
skillery-scalery alligator, with the
humps on his tail. where are you
going?"
ITO get something to eat" said the
gator, shivery like.
How would you like some nice, hot
souse?" asked the Pipsisewah, with a
sly wink of his left eye.
Fine, said the. gator, But can't
get any"
YES, you can" said the Pipsisewah.

low stump bungalow. He's u in the

me. But if you and l go at him to-

right here at home.
