You don Z need to do that, sud
denly growled a voice, seeming to come
fro munder the stump.
"What s that!'' cried the bunny, al
most topping off the stump in his ex-
citement. The peanuts nearly fell from
his paw. "Who are you and what did
YOU saw! the bunny went on.
81 am the Weasel, was the answer
.'and said you ncedn t 90 back after
an adventure for YOU are going to have
one right now!' With that Il long,
thin animal slunk out from under the
stump and started for the bunny.
Now, though II weasel is not very
large it is very fierce, and it can easily
catch and bite rabbits. SO Uncle Wig
gilv was afraid A weasel is very sly,
| too, and hard to play tricks on. Still,
Uncle Wiggily was going to do his best.
"Oh, so You think / am going to
have an adventure right now; do you?''
the bunny asked the Weasel.
Yes, - snarled the slim chap, fright
now and here. | am going to nibble
voui' and with that he started to
climb up the stump toward Uncle Wig
gily.
Hardly knowing what he was doing,
Uncle Wiggily reached in the bag, took
out "a peanut, broke off the shell and
began eating the meat.
"Here! What are you doing!' snarl'
ed the Weasel ''Is that some trick ~
nNo." answered Uncle Wiggily. st
is only one of Nurse James peanuts,
nd he shelled another and ate it, throw
ing away the she'll.
"Give me some peanuts. called the
Weasel, so impolitely that he never
even thought of the word "please. .
Uncle Wiggily gave the snarly creature
paw full of nuts.
II IN going to eat these, and then
IN going to nibble your ears" the
Weasel said. "But know you re try
ing to play a trick on me. The part
of the peanut you threw away is the
part that's good to eat and the part
YOU ate should be thrown away. /
knOw You re trying to fool me. III
do just the opposite to what you do. !"
Then that silly Weasel. thinking he
was smart, shelled peanut. He threw
away the crisp, brown kernel from in
side and put the shells in his mouth
and chewed them. But the shells chok
ed him and made him cough. They
went down his wrong throat and he
spluttered and cried:
"Ob, you played Il trick on me after
all! You have me all choked up. j
must get a drink of water!' and away
scuttled the Weasel, choking and gasp
ing on the dry peanut shells, which he
thought were good to eat.
"Served you right!' chuckled Uncle
Wiggily, as he hurried home with the
remainder of the bag of peanuts for
Nurse Jane. "You fooled yourself, Mr..
Weasel, and had an adventure after
Iall.
And if the pickle fork doesn't try
