Bang! Burg! went the tire

few days looking for adventures
in my iitney bus" laughed the
bunny. He called his auto. with
the turnip steering wheel. a ''jit-
ney bus just in fun you know
well, | hope you have no bad
, luck, such as a punctured tire, a
broken spring or anything like
that" the muskrat lady house
, keeper went on.
Thank YOU" answered the
bunny gentleman.
And | hope you have enough
gasolene and oil. not only to
take you TO an adventure, but to
bring you home again" Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy said.
"Thank you again." responded
the bunny gentleman. Il shall
have enough gasolene and oil.
anyhow" he said. "as l have
just filled the tanks. But one
never knows what is going to
happen to ones tires"
Very true" spoke Muse Jane
Don't you want to come for a
ride?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Thank you. no." Nurse Jane
answered. II am going to bake
a chocolate cake"
Then l must hurry off to
find an adventure, SO I may
hurry home to eat the chocolate
cake" laughed the bunny un-
Gle. II wouldn't be late on any
account when / know there's
going to be chocolate cake for
support"
Uncle Wiggily hoped into his
auto, made low and polite bow
to Nurse Jane with his tail silk
hat and away he rode, taking
ride to look for an adventure.
He had not gone very lar be-
fore, all of a sudden, the bad
old Fuzzy Fox peered over the
top of the mulberry bush and
said to the Wolf who was with
him:
There goes Uncle Wiggily in
his auto, First time I've seen him
in it this spring. / know now We
can catch him and nlbbie his
ears!''
How" growled the Wolf.
"Puncture one of his tires
parked the Fox, just like a dog.
"If we let the air out of one of
his big bologna sausage tires the
auto will have to stop, and then
we can nibble that bunny's ears"
But how are we going to
make hole in the tire?" asked
the Wolf, Uncle Wiggily can go
faster in the auto than we can
run"
He's going around the road.
by the long way" said the Fox.
I'VE can take short cut up
over the hill and wait for him
by the big evergreen tree. In
the road We'll put some sharp
thorns. When his auto runs over
them one of the tires will surely
get a hole in. Uncle Wiggily will
have to stop. Wen be hiding in
the bushes nearby, and can jump
out and nibble his ears"
THAT sounds all right" agreed
the Wolf. Wen do it! Wen
puncture his tires!"
Together the two bad chaps ran
up over the hill and down on
the other side. Uncle Wiggily
having to go around by the long
road would not be at the ever
green tree for some time.
The bad Fox and Wolf picked
some long, sharp thorns and
stuck them in the road, with the
points up, like tacks.
Just wait until he runs his
. al. - N.,l
the Fox. as he and the Wolf nd
in the bushes.
Pretty soon along came Uncle
Wiggily in his auto. Now the
bunny gentleman had sharp eyes,
but he did not see the thoiAs in
the road and in another second
he ran over one. The sharp point
punctured The tire.
Bang! BANG" went the tire,
as the air blew out, And the air
came out of the tire so hard that
in the eyes of the Fox, who was
looking out of the bush to see
what happened.
"Oh, wow" howled the fox, his
eyes full of grit. Il can't see to
nibble Uncle Wiggily's ears.
You'll have to do it, Mr.. Wolf.
But save me a little!"
II WILL growlcd the wolf. But
just then the other front wheel
of the bunny's auto ran over
another thorn.
Bang! Bang" Out blew the
air and as there was little pud-
die of muddy water in the road,
it blew a lot of this in the eyes
of the wolf.
"Oh, wow!' howled the wolf.
Now l can't see, either! oh,
what bad luck we are having to-
day." and away he and the fox
ran. humping into trees and rocks
and everything, for they couldn't
see.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Two tires punctured, but
that's better than having my
ears nibbled. And l have two new
tires / can put on" So he put
on new tires and hurried to his
to eat the chocolate
cake, which was most delicious.
So that's how everything hap
pened and if the ashman doesn't
take wheel off the grocery
wagon to make a hoop for the
lamp post to roll I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggilys broken
spring.
