on and on. over the fields and
through the woods hoped the bunny
! uncle rabbit gentleman, never STOP
ping TO look for an adventure this
I time. OF course he wouldn't do that
Z when Nurse Jane had cut her paw.
! though, of course, IL the bunny saw
anyone IN trouble he might stop to
/ help them, as he did. Wait, I'll tell
you all about It
On to the sassafras store. where a
monkey doodle sold stickum plaster.
hoped Uncle Wiggily.
Some OF your very best plaster for
Nurse James cut paw" cried the
bunny.
Here you are. fresh off the grid
die" cried the monkey doodle. The
very best stickum plaster that ever
was made. It has pine tree gum on
to make IL stick and TO cure sore
places. Here you are."
With the stickum plaster IN his
pocket Uncle Wiggily hurried back
over the snow covered fields and
through the woods, and he was al
most at his hollow stump bungalow
when. as he passed the house of
Grandfather Goosey Gander, the
goose gentleman ran out crying:
''Oh. it's brol1eni It's frozeni It's
bustedi Its squirting water all
whats doing all thisr' asked
Uncle Wiggily. you talk almost as
fast and as much as Nurse Jane
broken and frozen and busted and IS
scufrtinrs"
my water pipe" said Grandfather
Goosey Gander. Tapping his wings
The cold weather made the pipe
freeze. When Il froze the water that
was inside II swelled up and burst
the pipe. Then when I thawed the
pipe with a hot dishrag the ice went
out and the water came in. but II
didn't stay in; the water didn't, It's
squirting out OF the hole in the pipe
all over the kitchen And Mrs. Goose
is so excitedr'
''Tushi Tushi That Is no way to
BE-" said Uncle WiEgily. Il am in a
hurry 70 get back 10 Nurse Jane so
nav stop the bleeding OF her paw
with the strong stickum plaster. but
have time 10 look and see II I can
fix your frozen pipe"
So he went IN Grandfather Goosey
Gander's house and there. surely
enough, the broken. frozen pipe was
squirting water all over the kitchen. I
See the holel It's right here"
cried Grandpa Goosey. and he leaned /
over TO show Uncle WiEgily. and lot
OF water squirted in the goose gen |
tleman's eye
~Oh." quscked Grandma Goosey.
"Oh. can you stop the leak in the /
frozen pipe, Uncle WiEgily?"
The bunny thought for a moment. !
Then he said:
"Of course I can, II stickum plas- |
ter viii stop a cut paw from bleeding /
it will stop q hurst water pipe from |
leading. It Is much the same. Here, |
well try iti''
So he wound come OF the strong |
stickum plaster over the hole in the /
pipe. and surely enough. the water /
stopped squirting out until Mr. Fiat /
tail. the beaver gentleman, the |
plumber, could come and put IN a /
new pipe.
~Oh. thank you. so muchi" said /
Grandpa Goosey to Uncle Wiggfly.
Pray DO not mention it." answered /
the bunny. Then he took the rest Of /
the stickum plaster home to Nurse
Jane and soon her cut paw was all 1
better. And II the dog biscuit doesn't /
bark at the puppy cake and scare all 4
the raisins out Of the rice pudding.
