UNCLE WIGGILY OUTS THE
FOX

What's the matter2" asked Mr..
Twistytail, the fat pig.
Plenty Is the matter!" answered
Uncle Wiggily.
But can't you tell me SO I'll
know?" asked the pig. who was walk
ing backward and could not see
what went on behind him. Uncle
Wiggily was also walking, but the
rabbit was going frontward and he
could see things that his fat friend
couldn't
Uncle Wiggily and Mr.. Twistytail
were walking through the snowy
woods, the rabbit going frontward
and the pig going backward, and
they were tossing between them a
hot carrot in a glass jar. 1t looked
as II they were playing a funny ball
game.
But, really, they had to toss the
carrot that way because it was SO
hot they could not hold it in their
paws to take it to Mr.. Whitewash,
the Polar Bear gentleman, in his ice
cave, to cure his cold. You know
how it is when you pick up hot,
baked potato. If you toss it from
cne hand to the other it doesn't
burn as much as if you held it all
the while in one paw. That's what
Uncle Wiggily and the pig were do
ing with the hot carrot. And as they
were walking along, the pig going
backward because he had guessed
the wrong number. all of sudden,
Uncle Wiggily said: "Oh! OH" And
the pig asked what was the matter
THE Fox is comingl" said the
rabbit.
rs hep" asked the pig and he
started TO turn around to see. But
Uncle Wiggily said:
Don't turn your head. If you
do you may not catch this hot car
rot when toss it to you. If it falls
the glass jar will break and then
the carrot will lose its holiness and
it can't cure Mr.. Whitewash of his
cold"

tail, the fat pig. II won't turn

and I think he is going to nibble one
or both of us. But keep on tossing
the hot carrot, Twisty, and keep on
walking. We may get to the ice
cave OF Mr.. Whitewash before the

So the two friends tossed the hot
carrot to and fro, like a ball game.
