"Uncle Wiggily, you want to be

So, talking to himself and won

to second patch of woods and was

"stopl stop!" growled the Bear.

"No, / am not going to stop!"
answered Uncle Wiggily. He turned
to run down another path, and then,

from out of a hole in the tree came

"Here, let Uncle Wiggily alone,

the Porcupine off the tree, in order
