ped over the fields and through
the woods to have a little ad-
venture before Grandpa Goosey
came to drink tea with him.
Uncle Wiggily was hopping
peacefully along when, all of a
sudden he heard loud voice in
the bushes and a voice cried
"There, I'll fix you for tripping
me UP and making me fall! I'll
tear you all to pieces. I'll pull
you down out of that tree and
tear YOU up by the roots!"
"My goodness" thought Uncle
Wiggily, scrooching down back
of a lollypop bush. This sounds
like much trouble. I hope that
isn't the Skillery Scallery Alli--
gator with the humps on his tail
Hopping around in the bushes"
The bunny gentleman looked,
but he saw only a boy with red
hair and freckles pulling and
tearing at a vine which hung
from a tree. 1t was vine COW
cred with yellow and white flow
ers, having sweet smell, and as
the boy pulled and tore the vine
Uncle Wiggily heard the flowers
say:
"Oh, please don't pull us and
tear us this way You are killing
us! You are spelling our vine"
But the boy not knowing the
talk Of flowers, kept on with his
mean work until he had torn the
vine half down out of the tree.
"I'll teach you to stick out
your trailers and creepers and
trip me up!" howled the boy.
ooh, no! see what the matter
u.s." said Uncle Wiggily. This
boy was walking through the
woods. He caught his foot In a
tangle of vines and fell down.
He blames the flowers for his
tumble instead of blaming him
self. But l must stop him from
spelling the vine,"
Uncle Wiggily turned his back
on the boy and quickly began
digging in the dirt with his hind
feet. And the hind feet of the
rabbit sent the dirt in such a
shower over the boy, filling his
eyes and mouth. that the red

"Oh, this must be a sand storm!
I'm going homer And away he
ran, not tearing down any more
of the vine.
"I'm SO sorry for what hap
pened." Uncle Wiggily said, al
he put back some of the climb
ing vines and flowers on the
tree, twining it around the
branches.
