"Oh, l don't want to!" cried Baby
Bunty.
''I'll do it," offered Uncle Wiggily.
."In go to school with Baby Bunty,
and l II tell the Lady Mouse Teacher
just how it was. What is more, II
take with me the comb to show her
just how the snarls had to be combcd
out Come on, Zaby Bunty."
All smiles now, Baby Bunty took
hold of Uncle Wiggily's paw and
hoped with him to school. In his
other paw Uncle Wiggily carried Mrs.
Twistytail's comb to show to the Lady
Mouse Teacher. Though really
think he ncedn t have done that. But
it's n good thing he did, as yai shall

have four ears to nibblc!' and he
looked at Baby Bunty's and at Uncle
Wiggily's. The bunny gentleman s
pink nose began to twinkle, but as
Baby Bunfy looked at the long, fluffy
tail Of the Fox, Which was as big as a
dusting brush, Baby Bunty cried:
"Oh, Mr.. Fox! Your tail is all in
snarls! You never could nibble ears
with snarls in your tail. Uncle Wig
gily," said Baby Bunty, winking her
eyes at Mr.. Longears, "comb the
snars out of the tail Of the Fox, and
comb every ono out! And don't care
how hard you pull!' she whispered.
"Oh, ho! I sec! - chuckled the bunny
lie walked toward the Fox with the
comb. "You must let me take the
snarls from your tail before your nib
bic any ears said Uncle Wiggily. He
put the comb in the thick fur of the
Fox IS tail and pulled so hard, as il
tangled in the snarls, that the Fox
gave howl and a jump. Away he
ran with the comb caught in his tail
"Oh, WOW! Oh, WOW! Oh, wow!'
howled the Fox. "Oh, how you pulled!
And so he didn Z nibble any ears that
day, and the Lady Mouse Teacher ex

was hopping along, wondering what
sort of adventure would happen to
him, he reached a little house in the
woods, and inside the house the bunny

like trouble! | wonder if l could be Of
any help9"
lie hoped q little nearer and the
crying sounded louder. Then from a
window that was open to let in fresh
air. Uncle Wiggily heard voice
saying:
"Oh, Bunty, please stand still! I'll
never get your fur combed out for
school if you dom stand still!'
'Boo hoo!' sobbed the crying voice,
GLOW can stand still when you pull
my fur until it hurts! The comb hurts
me!'
"That 8 because your fur is all
snarls" went on the first voice. "You
must have twisted it in the night, for
your fur is full of snarls. 1t is the
snarls that hurt you, Baby Bunty!"
Looking through the window of the
little house in the woods, Uncle Wig
