~ quickly" called Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy from her kitchen in he
hollow stump bungalow one morning
Dear me- wonder what's the
matter now2' cried the bunny rabbit
as he dropped the cabbage leaf news
] paper. he was reading and gave three
hops and a part OF another one out
to the kitchen. Has the pudding
stick snake been Hopping around
/ again. Nurse Jane2r
oh. nothing like thatr' answered
/ the muskrat lady housekeeper, with
a laugh. I'm making a cake and 4
I forgot that there wasn't a grain OF
sugar in the bungalos4. The cake IS
started and unless I finish making II
! quickly it viii spoil Please hop over
TO AIRS. WibbleWobble's and borrow
enough Of sugar for me to bake the
cake. I'm in a hurry.
III so right away said Uncle
+ Wiggily. Stopping only long enough
10 put on his Tall si1-z hat, as 1t was
quite a cold day and he did not want
TO get any more rheumatism, the
bunny rabbit gentleman hoped over
the fields 10 the home OF Mrs Wibble-
wobble. the duck lady.
Some sugar for Nurse Jane? Why
Q
you wish" said the mother OF Lulu,
Alice and Jimmie, the duck children,
when Uncle Wiggily. rather out Of
breath, had told hel what he wanted
She put the sugar in a paper bag
for him. and. after thanking her
Uncle Wlggily started 70 mop PACK
TO his hollow stump bungalow as tast
as he could 60 For he knew Nurse
Jane was in a hurry 20 finish the
cake.
But the bunny rabbit gentleman
was not more than half way 10 his
hollow stump bungalow, when, as he
passed a little hide-an6- go-seek SORT
Of a place. where there was a pile
Of stones, all covered with white, cold
frost, he saw poor little bug all
CURED up on a fiat rock
Poor bug said Uncle Wiggilys
kindly. Il guess Jack Frost has made
you cold and stiff as he did the
you near the fire. Maybe you're
cricket ana viii chirp cheerfully all
winter for ne near the chimney
So Uncle Wiggily picked up the
cold. stiff bug. which did not seem
to have much life in it. and he put
il in his pocket.
Vow I must hop on faster than
ever-" he said to himself. I'm late,
stopping 10 pick Up that bug as
did. and Nurse James cake may be
spoiled"
Uncle Wiggily was hopping as fast
as he could, and he was about three
quarters OF the way home when. al
Of q sudden. he stubbed his toe on
a stone and down he fell ker-bunkoi
Dear mel" exclaimed Uncle Wig
glly picking himself up. It's lucky
wasn't hurt! 7 wonder-oh- dear"
he suddenly cried. Look at the
sugar.
And well might he say that, for the
bag AIRS. Wibblewobble had given him
had fallen from his paw, and the
grains OF sugar were scattered all
over the ground
Ny goodness me salres alive and
some molasses cookiesl" cried Uncle
WiEgily. Nurse Jane viii be veEed
with me- I must pick up this sugar,
but I'll be very late getting It to her
in time for the cake,"
The bunny tried 10 pick up the tiny
grains OF sugar But you know how
il was-Just as II you tried to pick UP
soap bubbles with mittens on.
Let me help you. Uncle Wiggily.r
said q small. kind voice from The
bunny's side pocket

looking around, but seeing no one.

klnaly picked up was the answer.
