Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
through the fields one day wondering
what sort of an adventure he might
have, when, all of a sudden, he heard
some jolly laughter just behind a
grassy bank.
"Hum!" whispered the rabbit gem
tleman to himself, with IA twinkle Of his
pink nose, "that doesn't sound very
scary. 1T sounds very happy, or
course, it may be the bad Fuzzy Fox
or the woozie Wolf, laughing as they
think Of nibbling my ears-but lot us
hope not!"
Again sounded a jolly laugh.
81 m going to hop up very softly
and look over the top of that grassy
bank" said Uncle Wiggily to himself
eff it s the Fox or Wolf, l can hop
away again-that is, if they don t see
me-. -
i, "But if it s ono of my frincds III
stay and have laugh with them.
There s nothing so much fun as laugh
ing and being jolly in this world.'
So Uncle Wiggily peered over the top
of the grassy bank and looked down on
Sammie Littlctail, the rabbit boy, who
was sitting at the bottom of the bank
on the other side. And Sammie was
laughing as hard as he could laugh
s'This is strange!" thought Uncle
Wiggily to himself. "It's Sammie all
right, so I don't need to bo afraid. But
why should he be laughing all alone?
If he had some Of the animal boys and
girls with him, and they were all
laughing together, | could understand

laugh all by himself
just then Sammie gave another
chuckle of delight and shouted:
"Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! Tee he!
''I wonder if he has fover, and
is out of his head?' thought Uncle
Wiggily, for he had been that way
himself, aud he had laughed when there
was nothing TO laugh at.
But, moment later, as Sammie
laughed again, Uncle Wiggily looked
more closely and he saw that the rab-
bit boy held something in his paws.
1t was something that .iiggled and jog
gled the more Sammie laughed-all by
himself.
"What have you there, Sammio?'
suddenly called the rabbit uncle
Sammie looked up so suddenly that
he nearly dropped what he had in his
paws. Then, as he saw Uncle Wiggily,
the little rabbit boy spoke and said:
"Oh, IN just playing with Jack
"Jack who?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Jumping jack" laughed Samnie.
"Oh, you ought to see the funny things
my Jumping Jack does when [ pull the

his legs and he kicks like Bully No-Tail

funny tricks. Uncle Wiggily himself
had to laugh out loud.
