/ over TO see Mrs. Twistytail, the pig
/ lady, and it's just as well to have
some one in the bungalow"
"TH be in the bungalow. but
won't be very welli" grunted Uncle
/ Wiggily, as he rubbed some of the
I strong, smarty peppermint on his
/ tooth. The smart and burn, bad as
i. was, made the ache seem a little
/ less. and the bunny gentleman felt
/ better

/ answered. the rabbit uncle. as he sat
iE his easy chair with the bottle
of strong essence near him on the
( table.

/ less, and he was just beginning TO
feel a bit sleepy when. all at once.
he heard out in front of his bunga-
low a voice crying:

Dear me. I hope that isn't the
Sknlery ScaHery Alligator trying to
get me to come out so he can grab
mel" thought the bunny. his pink
nose beginning TO twinkle around
the edges. I'll take a look before
I open the door"
But Uncle Wiggily need not have
been afraid. In front of his bunga-
low was only SqUeaky Squealer, the
little pig boy.

ice where I was sliding in the gut
ter, and I can't get loose"
"Oh. I'll help YOU" kindly offered
the bunny. III get the hot water
bag Nurse Jane left for my tooth,
and thaw your leg out"
SO Uncle Wiggily did this, and
soon Squeakie Squealer, the little
pig boy. could run on again. which
he did, after thanking his uncle.
Mr.. Longears went back IN the
bungalow. but going out in the cold
and storm (fOr it was snowing)
made his tooth suddenly ache worse.
"Oh. / must put q lot of pepper
mint on" cried the bunny. He rub
bed some of the smarty drops on
his tooth. and around it when an
az once. into the room came a bad
cid Bushy Bear.
"Oh. ho!" growled the Bear you

Before Uncle Wiggily could say
another word the Bear snatched
J away the bottle OF strong. burning

swallowed every drop. Then, as
quick as a wink. the Bear save q
most dreadful howl crying.
: "Oh. I must have swallowed q red

{ in a snow bank TO cool his tongue.
