Wake up!" called Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy in the rabbit gentle

morning. 'Wake up and come
DOWN. squeaked the muskrat lady
housekeeper.
"Ho. Ho! That is rather funny. :"
laughed Uncle Wiggily, as he twink
led his pink nose. (Which do YOU
want me to do first, Nurse Jane,
wake UP or come DOWN."
"Oh, | don't care what you dosas
long rs YOU keep your promise, "
went on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. Have
you forgotten, Uncle Wiggilv, that
you promised 10 do something for
me today
''Dear me. had almost forgot
ten, cried the rabbit gentleman
as he leaped ont of bed, jumped in
to his clothes and came sliding
down the stair banister railing.
"What did i promise you, Nurse
Janee Was it to 20 and play golf.
If it was that I'm ready as soon
as l eat breakfast
"No, l don't want you TO play
golf, laughed the muskrat lady.

"Thank you-I don't wish"
laughed Nurse Jane. II have
the bungalow work to do. So hop
along, Wiggy.'
Uncle Wiggily hoped along after
eating breakfast of boiled ear
-ots with maple sugar sauce sprink-
led on the middle, and soon he was
at the thirteen and fourteen cent
store, where they sold new, shin
ing, tin disphans.
Uncle Wiggily bought for Nurse
lane fhe largest and shinicst pan
he could find, AID he was hopping
back with the disphan over his
head like Il sunbonnct when, all of
a sudden, the rabbit gentleman
heard sad little voice saving:

the answer. And what told you
