That afternoon Daddy and Little
Boy went to the woods with camera

under a bush and across path he
knew Uncle Wiggily often ran along
there was stretched Il string. Then
Daddy and Little Boy hid them
selves behind a bush.
Pretty soon along came Uncl"
Wiggily. The old rabbit gentleman
was looking for an adventure. He
hoped he might, perhaps, see a snow
bird in trouble so he could help her
out. Uncle Wiggily loved adventures,
such as that. So he looked all around
but saw no snow bird.
Then, all of sudden, Uncle Wig
gily heard 4 noise in the bushes.

Wiggily ran along the path very

something like Il long strand Of

humping into it. Uncle Wiggily
pulled open the shutter of the picture
machine. There was clicking sound.
"Oh. the Fox is shooting at me. y
