UNCLE WIGGILY AND
JOHHNIE'S JUMP

1t had rained so long and So hard
in Woodland, near the Orange lee
Mountains, where Uncle Wiggily
had built his hollow stump bungal
ow, that the ground was covered
deeply with slush, water, half-melted
snow, ice and mud. Indeed, so deep
was the slush that many animal
folk could not get out of the hollow
trees where they lived, for fear of
being drowned in the deep slushy
mixture of stuff on the ground.
Its lucky we have plenty to eat
in our hollow tree said Johnnie
Bushytail, the squirrel boy, looking
down from where he was perched on
A high branch. IF we didn't have,
l don't know how we'd get any,
for nobody could get down TO the
ground to go to the store
That was true enough, for the
squirrel tree stood all by itself in
the forest. Some time before this,
other trees had stood near it, and
often Billie or Johnnie Bushytail,
in going to the store for their moth
er, could leap from one tree to the
next, by means Of the overhanging
branches, and so could travel along
as do the monkeys in the jungle,
never getting down to the ground
at all.
but that can't be done now,
said Johnnie looking toward the
nearest tree which, he thought, was
so Far away that not even his father
could leap from the end of the long
est branch of the tree where the
nest house was to the next closest
tree.
"Though if anybody could make
