Then the bunny said good-by to Mr..
Jack, and hoped on TO the eight and

hard, 80 the bunny, who had no uni-

Now I'll hop back to the hollow

sailed nuts for himself, as they looked
so good And, as no hoped along, he
ate them,
"They are very good" said MIR. Long

a sassafras lollypon, but still very good
They arc going to make me very
thirsty, though
And so tho sailed peanuts did. In a
little while Uncle Wlggily was so
thirsty he hardly knew what to do.
oh, II ! could only get u drink he
cried, HIS dry tongue hanging out FROM
under his pink, twinkling nose, "Oh,
IL | only had a drink
But there seemed to be no water In

II wa4 still very far to Uncle Wigglly's

And ! am getting more thirsty every
moment" he cried.

nodding at the bunny, was Mr.. jack
