Just moment, Uncle Wiggilyi
Just moment!" called Nurse Jane,
as the bunny rabbit gentleman
hoped down the front steps Of his
hollow stump bungalow one morn
ing.
Are you coming TO look for an
adventure with me?" asked Mr.
Longears. &c he turned around and
waited.
I'D like to. but I can't" Nurse
Jane replied. Il have to wash the
dishes. And If the cake of soap gets
lost under a tea cup that will be an
adventure - for the soap!" she
laughed
I should say sou chuckled Uncle
Wiggily. But 1 thought you wanted
something.
II do" answered Miss Fuzzy Wuz-
". Il want a buttonhook and a dia-
mond ring. You can get them both

hoped over the fields and through
the woods. Ii did not take him long
10 buy the buttonhook for Nurse
Jane, but when it came TO the dia-
mOnd ring that was not quite so easy.
Some Of the diamonds sparkled too
much, and some did not sparkle
enough. Some were too large and
others too small. But at last the rab-
bit gentleman picked out a fine dia-
mond, set in a ring. It sparkled just
enough, and not a bit too much or
too little. And 1t was just the right
size, and not a bit too large or too
small
II hope Nurse Jane will like II,
said Uncle Wiggily TO himself as he
hoped along on his homeward way.
He was just crossing a little bridge
over a brook when he saw a bird
.fittering around on a branch that
hung over the water.
"Oh, dearl Oh. dear!" cried the
bird. what ever shall I do?" and
he seemed in a great deal OF pain
and trouble.
