7 know what I'll co said Uncle
Wiggilv to himself. III hop to the
store and get a box OF candy tor my
wife. She likes something sweet N
the winter.
Turning about, urclc Wigglly
kopped toward a candy store Kept
by a IDLY cid pussy cat lady. The
! candv store was on the edge Of the
/ woods. not lar from & house where
! sone real children lived. By real
children mean a boy and girl
not Baby Bunty or Sammlc ana
Susie Littletail or any Of the AMI
NAL children.
- rlust rot go too near the house
/ where the real children live.
i thought Uncle Wiggi,y, twinkEng
his pink nose as he hoped along.
For they might want me TO come
in and play with them and can't,
Tne reason The rabbit uncle
couldn't go in and play with the real
/ children vas net that he didn't love
| them, cr because they didn't love
him. But he knew if he started
playing with them it would be hard
to stop. and then he never would
get that.boX Of candy for his wife.
So. keeping Oat OF sight il the
tell dried wecc,s that grew on tAc
road that turned and twisted N
front Of the house, Uncle WigglIy
was hopping along quietly when. all
OF q sudden 1t began 70 snow hard.
"Ha : Here comes the storm Nurse
Jane told nc about" said M. Long
ears. And ne hoped faster to buy
the candy before the snow should
I got too deep. And as he hOpped
along he heard the BOY and Glrl
shouting.
] Dear me! They're coming tc
catch nc TO play with them!
whispered Nj. Longears. He locked
back and saw through the white
J flakes the real children running our
Of the real house. But instead OF
i coming after the rabbit the boy and
/ gil began joylully 70 shout;
oh. it's snow and now VIC can
: make a snow mani
Yes. that VIII be better than
! catching ne. for am ii a hurry
/ this morning said Nj. LOngears
and on he hoped through the
. storm to get the box OF candy loI
his wife.
Does she like Chocolates or bon
bons best? asked the jolly OLD pussy
cat lady who kept the sweet store.
Both" answered Uncle Wlgglly
with a laugh. So he got q double
box Of candy and started the hop
back 10 his bungalow, through the
/ snow which was now falling like
/ feathers out Of q sofa pillow. Dear
mel ! nope I don't get lost said
/ Uncle W!ggi.y But that's just what
happened The white flakes fell
so thickly that Mr.. LOngears
! couldn't see which way to go. How
ever. he hoped on, first this way
and then that, looking for ms
bungalow, until, all OF sudden, ne
saw. looming up in front of hlm
something tall, big and white.
oh. its the snow man the chill
dren made!" said Uncle Wigglly
With a laugh. Now I know where
anon the edge of the woods
and it viii not take me long to
find my bungalow
But Just as he said this he saw
something coming at him through
the cloud Of white flakes and, look
ing, the rabbit saw the Fuzzy Fox
"Oh, hes after mel" thought the
rabbit. "As il being lost in the
storm wasn't enough, I'm going toI
lie nibbled by the Fox on, Mr.
Snow Mani cried Uncle Wiggily
4 wish you we're alive and would
drive the Fox away 50 he wouldn't
bite mel"
And then, as true as I'm telling
you, that snow man began 10 move.
He turned around and saw Uncle
Wiggily and ne saw the Fox and
the snow man cried Hi there, Bad
Fox! Go back 10 your den ana let
this Door rabbit alone!' And then
the white man made hard snow
bail and threw IL 1t the Fox, bang
ing him on the nose 90 that the Fox
hoWled and ran away. Uncle wig
gily was as surprised as you are TO
