Oh dear me, Something was wrong
with the Luckymobile, so the Old
Red Rooster informed nice Uncle
Lucky.
Cant find the trouble" sighed
the old fowl. The wheels won't go
around. Neither will the horn
honk!"
Most unfortunate" cried the old
gentleman bunny Il want to take
Grandmother Goose home. >Shell be
dreadfully disappointed. Dear DEAR
and full of per pleX-i-ty, he hoped
back to his little red -shineled house.
I'll call up Peter Pig" cried Lit
tie Miss Mousie. He can come in
his donkey gig and take Grand
mother Goose" and the next minute
she was enquiring over the phone;
Are you busy. Peter Pig?
If not, come over in your gig
To carry dear Grandmother Goose
To her little new cahoose."
"Tn be right over" answered the
obliging old P.g, and with a srunt
he walked out to the stable TO hitch
up Donkey Longears to the squeaky
two wheeled cart. Might as we'll
take along some big red apples for
Uncle Lucky" he said to himself.
AN apple day keeps a prune far
away" and -chuckling at his bit Of
home made poetry. he filled large
basket and carefully set it in the
cart. Then. clicking his tongue
against his teeth, he picked up the
reins and drove his faithful dom
key down the road towards Rabbit
vile, for Peter lived more than a
mile up the hin beyond that busy
little place. Yes, sir. Peter Pig
owned his own farm and had money
in dear Uncle Lucky's bank besides.
BY and by, after a while, and a
creaky half mile, be came in sight
of Danny Foxs rocky house on the
wooded hill side. II shant bring
Grandmother Goose back this way"
chuckled Peter Pig under his breath.
Il see Mrs. Fox this very minute
peeking through the window. Foxes
are very fond of pullets and geese.
Maybe she thinks l have a basket
OF chickens" and with another
chuckle he turned into the Shady
Forest and up the Winding Trail to
Rabbitville. Had he just turned
his head only once he would have
seen Mrs. Fox quietly slip out of her
house and tiptoe softly after the old
creaky cart. Hnd in the next story
YOU shall hear what happened after
that.

his temper that he didn't go about it

iron part with both front paws and
pulled it out of the ground.
"Botheration." he snarled, rubbing
his injured tail in which the iron
frame of the rake had made a deep
grove. "I'll get even some day with
