"Unclc Wiggny, would you like to
60 with me and help pick it out ~
quacked Lulu Wibblewobble, the duck
girl, to the bunny rabbit gentleman
one day as Lulu waddlcd past his hol-
low stump bungalow.
"Pick what outo' asked the bunny
gentleman. 81 hope your best hat
hasn t fallen into the duck pond, and
that you want me to help fish it OUT
Not but what II be glad to help you
only
"Oh, it ism t anything like that"
laughed Lulu, looking at her tail
feathers to see that they were nicely
curled. 81 just want you to come with
me while | pick Out. lolypop at the
one and twO-cent store. Uncle Butter
just gave me two cents and mother
said l might buy lolypop. Will you
come with me?'
"Right gladly will do that!' ex-
claimed the Bunny gentleman, with Il
jolly twinkle of his pink nose. So he
and Lulu went off through the woods
together, the duck girl carrying under
her wing the two pennies which Uncle
Butter, the goat gentleman, had given
her.
Soon the bunny uncle and Lulu
Wibblcwobble had reached the lolly-
pop one and two-cent store. On one
side were the penny candies on their
stick handles, and on the other counter
the lollypops which sold for two cents
each.
"Oh, what lovely oncs!" cried Lulu,
clapping her wings, and out dropped
the two pennies, falling to the floor
with musical jingle. One rolled in
one corner and the other off to the side
of the store, and the jolly old dog
gentleman who kept the candy shop
barked:
"Money, money! Who has all the
money!
"Oh, it, just like button, button,
who has the button7' laughed Lulu.
isn't this jolly -.
cts jolly all right, but please don t
drop any more!' said Uncle Wiggily,
for he had to stoop down to pick up
the money, and this made his rheuma-
tism hurt.
"Let me see now,' said Lulu, as
the bunny gentleman handed her the
pennies, and she looked at the candies,
''shall 1 get one two-cent lollypop, or
two one-cent ones? Which would you
do, Uncle Wiggily''
~ think 1 should buy two penny
ones,', answered the bunny, while the
jolly old dog gentleman storekeeper
stood by with patient look on his
face. BECAUSE went on Uncle Wig
gily, "if you have two penny lollypops,
you eat one and save the other. -
eyes, that is very true said Lulu
thoughtfully. "But, on the other wing,
if I buy two penny lollypops, / might
lose one while l IN eating the other.
But if / buy two-cent one j can keep
hold Of it all the while and l won t
| lose it,"
"That is good idea," said Uncle
Wiggily, after twinkling his pink nose
bit. "But, if you lose your large
two cent lollypop you lose everything
while if you lose one Of the two penny
ones YOU only lose half of what you
have.'
"Oh, isn't it puzzling'' quacked
Lulu. Gone hardly knows what to do;
does one'' she asked the storekeeper
"If you leave it to me, ! d say buy
two-cent lollypop,'' growled the jolly
old dog.
81 will" quacked Lulu. "And now
the question is, what flavor do
want?" she added, as she went to The
side of the store where the larger can
dies on a stick were for sale.
