He would as soon have thought of
opening Nurse Jane S letters
If she wants nc to know what

rabbit. Meanwhile l must not

So he hoped along with the pa
per bag, holding it carefully so h.
would not let il fall. No smell
came from the bag, and no sound.
So Uncle Wiggily could not tell
what was in it.
All of q sudden, as the rabbit
gentleman was hopping along, there
sprang out from behind a bush the
Bob Cat.
"Stop!'' cried the Bob Cat, and
Uncle Wiggily stopped.
"What have YOU in shat paper
bag?" snarlcd the Bob Cat.
81 don t know" answered Uncl"
Wiggily. And with perfect truth,
for he did not know.

Cat. "You must know what is in

"Well, whatever it is--drop ~

"'I1I make Won drop it, howlcd
the Bob Cat. With that he tick

And, as soon as he dropped it, the

"Wow! Wow! No w0ldcr YOU

Much surprised. Uncle Wiggily
picked up the bag. In it we're
three hard, bouncing rubber balls.
"IIum! This is funny thought
the bunny. 81 wonder why Nurse

1t couldn't hurt them But when
Uncle Wiggily got home with the
