we re going to make little stand, or
table, out in front of my house, and
we re going to sell glasses of lemonade
for a penny a glass.
"'And we want you to come and buy
lemonade from us, went on Baby
Bunty. % Cause You II be nice and
polite. But the boy animals they won I
buy any of us, and
"Evcn if they would W. don t want
'em to, broke in Susie. - Cause
they re so funny, they keep saying
what stingy glasses, and it isn't sweet
enough or that it ism t strong enough
and they drink the last drop in the
glass and beg for more"
"'Boys aren't any good at all when

Baby Buntv. $50 we want you to conc,

- Cause we re going to take the
money we get and buy ourselves some

"Why don I you drink some of your
own lemonade?' asked Unclo Wiggily.
"Oh, cause that ism t any funl"
said the two little rabbit girls "Now,

Wiggily?' begged Susie, as she and
Baby Bunty hurried off to make the
lemonade.
"Oh, yes" promised Uncle Wiggily.
Susie and Baby Bunty squeezed out
the juice of the lemons, put the juice in
Il pitcher with some water and sugar,
and then Mr.. Whitewash, the kind polar
bear gentleman, gave them large
chunk of ice to cool the lemonade.
Now we re all ready for Uncle
Wiggily to come and buy from us, -
said Susie, when they had set the pitch
er of lemonade and some clean glasses
on the stand, which was made from a
grocery box covered with white birch
bark for a cloth.
Susie and Baby Bunty looked up this
path and down the other path for
sight of Uncle Wiggily, but, for
time, they did not see the dear old
rabbit gentleman.
But pretty soon, however, Uncle
Wiggily came hopping along, his pink
nose twinkling like a flash lamp at the
rag dolls party.
"Ah, Ahem!" exclaimed the bunny
as he saw Susie and Bunty. "Selling
lemonade; are you?' he asked, lust as
If he was as surprised as anything.

Susie and Bunty tried hard not to
giggle as they poured out the cool,
sweet drink, and, just as Uncle Wig
gily was slipping it, all of sudden,
along came the Woozie Wolf, looking
very warm and very cross-oh, as
cross as the letter X, he was.
''Welll' growled the Wolf, as Uncle.

bled the Wolf, trying to be kind and
polite, but not knowing how, for he
didn't try it ofton enough. 81 IN not

the Wolf, ''What is it,"

" All right" growled the Wolf.
III pour 1T ont for myself, - went
on Mr.. Longears, as Susie reached for
the pitcher. Taking the pitcher in both
paws Uncle Wiggily suddenly poured
all the lemonade in it over the Wolf 3

his eyes.
