want to go. But when Halloween
came, and Uncle Wiggily made up

an old witch; and, of course, the
Fox, Wolf and Bear would never

Littletail, the rabbits; Johnnie and
Billie Bushytail, the squirrels, and
Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the

like a firecracker or pepper candy
or anything like that" snarled the
Fox, "Ill---"
But lust then the box opened

the bunny and as the Fox turned
