Yes, indeed" agreed Jangle. So
they hoped after Uncle Wiggily TO
the woods. But they had not gone
very far before they heard Nurse
Jane FUZZY Wuzzy calling after
them.
What is she saying?" asked IN
Gle Wiggily.
She says it is going to rain and
if you are going 10 take. us to the
woods you ought to hop back and
get a big umbrella, answered jim
gle
Oh, l don't believe il will rain
spoke Mr.. Longears twinkling his
pink nose and looking up at the sky.
But if IL should rain, call back and
tell Nurse Jane that III make lit
tie cabin for us IN the woods and we
can stay there in it until the rain
stops"
The children called this to Nurse
Jane but the Muskrat Lady went
back in the bungalow to dust the
piano Shaking her head worried like
And she said:
7 know it is going to rain and
even a rain cabin won't keep all the
children dry. I'm sure something
viii happen! Oh, dearie mel"
Something did happen Uncle
Wiggily and the little bunny girls
had not been in the woods long be-
fore the wind began to blow, the sky
began to get dark and rain drops
splattered on the leaves.
oh, Unkie Wig. it's raining!"
cried Baby Bunty.
SO it is said the rabbit gentle
man. But never mind. Help me
build a rain cabin and in it we shall
keep dry
How do you make a rain cabin?"
asked Jingle.
we must first find a low bush
under which we can all crawl said
Uncle Wiggily. Then on top OF
the bush we must spread some big,
thick. green leaves that will be like
shingles on a roof. The leaves will
be the roof on our bushy rain cabin
and VIII keep US cry"
1t did not take the children long,
with Uncle Wiggily's help, to find
a large. low sassafras bush under
which they could all creep. But be-
fore doing that Uncle Wiggily
showed them where a big burdock
plant was growing. The burdock
has broad, thick leaves, almost like
shingles.
Picking a number of these leaves,
Uncle Wiggily and the little bum
MES placed them on top of the bush,
weaving tWigs around and over the
leaves SO the wind would not blow
them away. All this time it was
raining, but not very hard.
Now into the cabin-all of you!'
ordered Uncle Wiggily with jolly
laugh. No sooner had Baby Bunty
and all the others crawled into the
cute green cabin, with Mr.. Long
ears coming last, than it began to
rain very hard. Pitter patter the
drops fell on the burdock leaves.
"Oh, it's nice in this rain cabin,
said Bunty, and we are cozy and
dry!"
"Hark!" suddenly called Jingle.
Il think something is comingi"
So they all listened in the snug
little rain cabin. And what they
heard 1 shall tell you tomorrow
night. Then the story will be about
