So Uncle Wiggily started to get some
of this condensed milk of the milk
weed plan, which he could buy at the
store In half a Coeonut shell Instead

I'm sure II is" said Uncle Wiggily
politely. And then, with the %coconut
shell full OF condensed milk under his
paw, the bunny rabbit started to hop
back to his hollow stump bungalow.
81 wonder what sort Of an adventure
! will have" thought the bunny as he
hopped along. Il hope 1t viii be a nice
enc"
But it wasn't at all. Just wait until
tell YOU. An Of a sudden, as Uncle
Niggily was going past n big pile of
snow, all Of n sudden, out popped the
bad old Seootchum,
"Ah ha and oh hoi' cried the scoot-
ohum. az he saw the bunny rabbit. I'm

"Oh, yes, | shall, tool cried the
S%cootchum, most impolitely. But first
III taste the condensed milk Pass 1t

There was nothing else for Uncle
Wigglly to do. 40 he handed the Scoot-
chum the coconut SHELF fun Of con-
densed milk.
"Ah, | Just love thls!' cried the bad
animal, Then, ms impolitely as you
| please, he broke the waxed paper over

his beak TO eat up the condensed
milk.
But the Scootchum made a mistake

how small was the hole In the coco

and squlrmed and twisted TO get the
Coconut shell off his heak. But II
wouldn't come loose and the condensed
milk ran In the bad creatures eyes and
Uncle Wiggily wouldn't help him, Of
course,
For the bunny rabbit didn't want his
souse bitten, and, RS long as the Scoot-
chum had his heak in the coconut shell
he couldn't bit anybody
And SO, while the had animal wal
Hopping around in the snow, Uncle
WiEgily ran back TO the store, got an.
