The suspicion started when Ar

IL has been strengthened by pub

This is too bad said the bun
ny gentleman. Then he heard the
voice of old Mr.. Hockey Pokey. the
mud turtle, speaking, and Mr.. Hokey
Pokev said:
! That is an empty nest. Uncle
Wiggilv. because the little birds
were hatched long ago. and they
have flown down south with the
big birds. There they will remain
! until spring comes again.
II suppose should have known
that, said Uncle Wiggilv. = But !
didn T. However, | know what
! Will do. | will get some candy eggs
and put them in the empty nest.
There are some candy eggs that look
Just like real birds eggs. And, see
! ing the candy eggs III the nest. some
bind may cover and try 10 hatch
! them. At least | can have an old
! bird sing to me: If not Il Young one
Though | know ii is the daddy bird
| who sings the sweetest.
So Uncle Wiggiyl bought some
RED, blue, pink, purple and yellow
candy eggs and pat them in the nest
Then he hid in the bushes near the
tree TO watch when some old mother
bird might fly in and hover on the
eggs In this way the rabbit thought
he would have bird friend near
him.
Soon a late robin fluttcrcd up into
the tree.
All ha," though Uncle Wiggily.
":She will make her home in the nest
Of candy cggs.' But, no. One look
told the mother robin that the eggs
were none of her dainty blue ones,
so away she flew.
Then a wren fluttcrcd up in the
tree, and Uncle Wiggily thought
surely this little bird would sit on
the eggs. But no. The wren gave
single look and away she dartcd.
The nest was too large for her. The
eggs were too large, and none was
cOlorcd like hers. Other birds flut-
tered to the tree, but they were wise.
and as soon as they looked at the
many eolotcd eggs they knew they
were none Of theirs.
Then Uncle Wiggily fell asleep.
Ana when he awakened he saw Il
fluttcring in the leaves Of the tree
near the nest III which he had put
tn candy eggs.
"Ah. At fast T am lucky cried
tie bunny. "A bird Is going to
make her home there on my nest and
She viii be company for me. -
But just then, down out Of the
tree scrambled Billie BushytaiI, the
squirrel boy.
"Oh, Cnclc Wiggily. What do
you think catered Billie. 81
found . lot Of candy eggs up in an
old, empty bird s nest and L ate
them. rle candy eggs were good

- But this is the last time | shall

/ Then Billie gave his brother some
