Il will said Uncle WiEgily.
Then he loOsened the strings. let
out the air. and. with the balloons
all fiabby like and soft, so he could
stuff them all in his pockets, off
started the bunny rabbit gentle
man.
He had not gone very far before,
all of a sudden. he heard crack
ling in the bushes behind him. and
voice cried:
Il see him! I'll get him! Now
Ill have some souse"
Uncle Wiggny gave one look
back, saw the bad old Skuddlema-
goon, and then the bunny began to
run. But. as fast as he ran, the
Skuddlemagoon ran after him.
III get you, III get yOuw'
howled the SkUddlemagOon. and,
really, it looked as though he
might. The bad chap almost had
hold Of Uncle Wiggily's coat tails,
when the bunny gave a msst ex-
traordinary jump and landed on the
other side of a brook.
'Oh. I'll get you yeti" howled the
Skuddle chap, but, as he was not a
good jumper. and was afraid of
getting his paws wet he had to look
for a bridge on which to cross the
stream.
This is your chancew cried the
monkey doodle balloon chap, who
was running along in the tree tops
over head. on his way down Soutn.
Take the flabby balloons from your
pocket, Uncle Wiggily and blow
them up. I'll help you. Then fas-
ten the forty 1even blown up bal
looms, by their strings. all around
you and they'll lift you up like an
sirship and you can get away from
the Skuddlemagoon. He'll soon be
here, for he has found a bridge"
So Uncle Wiggily, with the mon
keys help, blew up the forty 1even
balloons. When the last one was
filled with air and fastened to tho
bunny up he rose, for he was much
lighter than the hand organ chap.
Up in the air sailed Uncle Wiggily,
carried by the toy balloons, and he
sailed away just as the Skuddle-
magoon rushed along.
Fooled again" howled the bad
chap, who got no souse after all.
The bunny sailed to his hollow
stump bungalow with balloons for
the animal children who were very
glad to get them. So everything
came out all right.
