=, So Uncle Wlegily Save
Flop flap her LoIlyIpop.

creature, and he made low and
polite bow with his tall silk hat,
did Uncle Wiggily, saying:
Hello, Flip Flop, my boy. how
are you?"
"Oh, I'm not very we'll" was the
answer, And, besides, I'm not
Flip Flop, a boy. I'm Flop Flap,
girl lizard, and I'm Flip Flop's
sister"
ooh, in that case it's different"
said Uncle WiggiIy. But what is
your trouble, Flop Flap"
"I am so hungry for lollypop
| don't know what to do" said the
little lizard girl. 81 haven't any
money to buy one, and, if l had,
/ am too little to go to the store
alone"
ooh, I'll go, right gladly, and
get you a lollypop," said Uncle
Wiggily, and away he skipped,
while Flop Flap, the girl lizard,
made her tail go up and down like
a pump handle, instead of side
ways, as her brother Flip Flop
made his tail waggle.
Dear me. Wiggy, seems to me
you take a lot of trouble just for
lizard" said Nurse Jane. as the
bunny rabbit came back with the
lollypop for Flop Flap.
Hush. Don't let her hear you
whispered the bunny. II don't
mind doing a favor for a lizard,
Tor YOU never can tell when you
might want a lizard to do favor
for you"
So Uncle Wiggily gave Flop Flap
her lollypop, and she thanked him,
and the bunny and Nurse Jane
went on through the woods, at last
coming back to their hollow stump
bungalow. :,
I'm make a cup of fresh tea"
Nurse Jane said. 1T will rest us
after our walk.
And we didn't have single al"
venture, unless / count getting Flop
Flap a lollypop," said Uncle wig,
gily rather sadly. 81 wonder
We'll. Uncle Wiggily didn't say
what he wondered, for all of a sud
den Nurse Jane screamed, out IN
the kitchen, where she was making
the tea.
II guess there's an adventure
nowl" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.
And when he had rushed to the
kitchen he found that his muskrat
lady housekeeper had accidently
burned herself with hot water.
"Oh, Wiggy, how they burn
cried poor Nurse Jane, holding up
her front paws.
ooh, | am so sorry said Uncle
Wiggily. "I'll put some cool wet
baking soda on them, and you'll
feel better
SO he wrapped Nurse James paws
up in wet baking soda, but still
they burned a little, even after she
had taken a drink of iced tea.
'IIl get a fan and fan your |
paws" offered Uncle Wiggily. THE |
cool breeze from the fan will take |
away some of the pain from the |
burn"
"You are very good spoke
Nurse Jane. as Uncle Wiggily sat
near her, waving the big palm leaf
fan to and fro, making a cool
breeze. But. after while, Uncle
paw became weary from
tanning so much, and, every once
N while he would find himself
falling asleep. Just after he had
awakened, after doing off the
'orty-' leventh time, and began to

cried:

Up and down, just like a fan II
