But before Jackie had a chance TO
say anything more. there was big
shivering and shaking in the bushes
behind him. and out popped the bad
old Pipsisewah.
Now for some good souse," said
the Pip. as he looked first at the
bunny's ears and then at Jackie's.

went on, and then some of this little

Jackie was too frightened.
We'll. I'll tell you what I'll do"

bags of sugar is"
Hush" whispered Uncle WiGgily.
Let him take both bags il he likes.
II is better that he should do that
than get our souse. Let him take
them"
The Pip reached in Jackie's basket.
took out a bag and made big bite
right in the middle. And the next
minute that Pipsisewah was hopping
around on one leg. putting both front
paws in his mouth and yelling:
Water! Water! Oh. my. Oh. dear.
Oh. this is terrible. Oh. I'm chokfng!"
and away he ran to find a spring of
water that wasn't frozen.
"Why-why. what happened him p"

thought he liked sugar."
Maybe he does" laughed Jackie
"Rllt one OF these bags OF sugar was

you stopped me-
I'm glad I did said the bunny,
and I guess we all are.
Anyhow the Pip didn't get Uncle
WiSgily's souse, nor Jackie's. And
when the puppy dog boy had bought
a new bag of salt he took the sugar
home and Mrs. Bow Wow made a fine
cake. So this teaches US that salt
has its uses az well as ice cream.
