Tales Of the Friendly Forest
BY DAVID CORY

Let me see. promised TO tell you
more about General Lucky Lefthind-
foot and his soldier Dummies And
don't you forget, either, that little
Billy Bunny was a drummer boy and
that he was in the Luckymobile with
the old gentleman rabbit going
around trying, to get people to join
the army Of Uncle Sam and Aunt
Columbia
Well, the Luckymobile was getting
more crowded every minute, and if
the little mouse hadn't crept under
the back seat, I'm sure somebody
would have stepped on him. And
maybe it might have been the long
legged photographer Crane, for he
didn't know what to do with his legs,
for when he sat down his knees kept
humping into Uncle Lucky's head
and this made the old gentleman
rabbit nervous and once or three
times he almost steered the Lucky
mobile upa telegraph pole.
Well, after they had gone for
maybe a mile, and maybe a little
more, they met the Rainbow Bird,
Mr.. Killy-loo, whose eyes are pink
and whose bill is blue.
Uncle Sam needs you in the
army" said Uncle Lucky. Come
So the killy-loo bird hoped into the
Luckymobile and off they went.
'T feel as If we had Noah's Ark

Billy Bunny beat on his drum and
the Yellow Dog Tramp waved the
flag and pretty soon there was a big
crowd all around them. So Uncle
Lucky stopped the Luckymobi1e ami
stood up on the front seat and made
speech:
Come and join the army.
Hear the bugIe call.
Bring your gunsto fight the Hun.
Rally one and ALT"
But, oh. dear me. There wasn't
room in the Luckymobile to take
them all. So they formed process
sion and followed the LuckyrnobiIe
back to Camp Cabbage.
And after they had gone for may
