as he awakened one morning In his
hollow stump bungalow. And I
think I'll cook something new. Nurse
Jane may be home tomorrow"
The muskrat lady housekeeper had
gone away on a little vacation TO see
Mrs Wibbiewobble, the duck lady, you
know.
Let me see, what shall it be-" said
Uncle Wiggily, thoughtful ike, as he
twinkled his pink nose. How about
maple fritters? That sounds good!
III make them"
Down he went to the kitchen and,
by looking around. he discovered an
old cookbook For the bunny didn't
quite know how TO make maple fritz
ters without looking in the book, just
as, sometimes. YOU can't spell a hard
word.
"Ah. I see." spoke Uncle wiggily,
after he had read a few pages, TO
have maple fritters at their best. you
must have maple syrup to eat on them.
and III have to get some, as there
isn't any in the bungalow So, n
making maple fritters, first get your
maple syrup, and to do that I must
find q maple tree and let some Of the
maple sap run out"
For that you know, IS how maple
sugar is made. The Juice, or sap.
from a maple tree Is boiled and boiled
until It is thick and sticky and sweet,
and then II hardens into maple sugar.
I'll go out in the woods and find

No, Uncle WigEly meant 70 make q

doesn't run very fast. the bunny knew
he would have no trouble catching
some.
So forth he Jared to the maple

It did not take the bunny uncle
