from the Hollow Stump school.

bunny gentleman, rubbing his pink

seeing straight.
"What's the matter' asked
/ Mrs. Longears.
There s the Lady Mouse Teach

"She must have come after some
of our forty 1even little bunnles.
They have forgotten to so to
school and the teacher has come
after them! =
"Nonsense!'' laughed Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the muskrat
lady housekeeper. There is no
school Christmas week!
"Oh, that s sol forgot : said
Uncle Wiggily, and when the Lady

mouse lady is lonely. All her for.

jolly Christmas. I am taking her
some presents. When she taught

green holly and its red berries IN
the windows to remind the children
of Christmas. But now she has no
wreaths.
"She is going TO have one wreath
at least, = exclaimed Uncle Wiggilv,

Nurse Jane and Mrs. LOngears

and Uncle Wiggily took down the
big Christmas wreath. Then he and
the new Lady Mouse went over to
the fields and through the woods.
"How kind and good you arc,
murmurcd the old Lady Mouse when
she smellcd the good things. And
how lovely. it is to sec a Christmas
wreath again. and she was happy,
thinking of the time when she was
