1 In the field not far from Uncle Wig
gilv's hollow stump bungalow, grew
many flowers. Among them were some
daisics-wllite daisies with yellow cen
| ters, and another kind called "black-
eyed Susans' by some, and by others
! f" OK. eyed daisies. - These flowers were
large, with yellow petals and center
of brown. In fact, they did look like
the eyes of fox, or, perhaps, the eyes
of girl named Susan.
"Well, whatever the flowers are call
ped through the field one day looking
for adventure, "whatever their name,
they are beautiful. -
On and on hoped the Bunny rabbit
gentleman through the field until he
came to the woods.
"Here, if anywhere, l shall find an
adventure, / think said Uncle Wig
gily to himself. 81 wonder what kind
it will be?'
AS he walked along he stumbled and
kicked aside flat stone, turning 1t
over. And, as it turned over, beneath
it the bunny saw many ants scurrying
about in the midst of what seemed to
be little light brown pills.
"My! How fast you ants are scurry-
| ing away!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.
"What is the matter, and what are
those little brown things like pills that
you are carrying into those tiny holes
in the ground9'
For by this time each ant had grasped
one of the queer things and was carry
| ing it underground.
"These are eggs that will hatch out
into other ants,' explained one of the
| black creatures. "We carried them up
from our home underground to let them
| lie under the flat stone, which was
| warmed by the sun. But now that the
stone is moved, we shall have to look
| for another
"All my fault, tool" said the bunny.
81 did not mean to, but / overturned
your egg Matching stone. Never mind ;
| I'm place it back where it was at first
and you won't have to move youf
eggs"
This Uncle Wiggily did, and the ants
were very thankful to him. Then the
bunny hoped on a little farther, and,
all of sudden, looking toward big
fallen log, Uncle Wiggily saw two large
scary eyes staring at him.
"Oh, dear me!o thought the bunny
