Re threw TIE milk.

ON, motlef, why? asked InC
rabbit boy who was out of sight
around the corner of the house. i
didn't think you would mind if /
/ PLAYED ball with Jackie and Peetie
Bow Wow They're nice puppy dog
boys
oh. I know they are, Sammie,
! said Mrs. Littletail with a laugh.
TT isn't that I mind you playing
with Jackie and Peetie But the
treason YOU must stop playing ball,
! for a while. at least, is that you
must go to Mrs. Moo, the COW lady,
to get some milk for supper
oh, mother, must I go?' asked
Sammie, and Uncle Wiggily, who
was listening, could hear the sad
ness in the voice Of the little rab-
bit boy.
Yes. Sammie. you must go get
some milk because your father likes
! it in his tea for supper" said Mrs.
Littletail. Hurry. now. You may
play ball when you get back
+ But we're right in the middle OF
! a game said Sammie. Aren't we
Jackie?' he asked his puppy dog
j friend.
i We'll, yes, we are" barked Jackie.
But if your mother wants you 10
get some milk you had better go.
i That's a good boy, Jackie" said
Uncle Wiggily, who was looking and
/ listening. but he had not yet popped
into sight.
I'll tell you what we can do!'
whined Peetie
"What?' asked Sammie.
we can all three go get the
milk" went on Peetie. It's no fun
for Just Jackie and me to play ball
we need you, Sammie. So we'll go
with you while you get the milk
and then we'll all come back to-
gether and play ball some more
"Ch. finel" cried Sammie
No, thank you!" spoke Mrs. Lit
tletail, with 4 laugh.
What do you mean, mother,
asked Sammie.
Il mean" his mother explained
that if you three boys go together
to get milk. you'll play on the way
and you'll play coming back and
Sammie will spill the milk and there
will be none for his fathers tea. II
is kind Of you. Jackie and Peetie
TO offer to 60 with Sammie. but il
will be better if Sammie goes alone
TO get the milk. Then it will moi
be spilled. Come, Sammie, here's
the pail. Go to Mrs. Moo, the COW
lady and get some milk
"Oh. dear!" sighed Sammie. And
then up popped Uncle Wiggily
"In go get the milk for you, Mrs
Littletail." said the rabbit gentle
man. Il don't in the least mind
! I may find an adventure, and II
go, Sammie can stay and play ball
with Jackie and Peetie."
1T is very kind Of you," said the
rabbit lady.
Uncle Wiggily took the pail and
started to hop to Mrs. Moo, the COW
lady, to get the milk.
BE careful you don't spill it!'
called Sammie as he went back to
play ball with the puppy dog boys.
"Oh. I won't spill it, said Uncle
Wiggily with laugh. Il know how
to carry a pail OF milk
I'm sure you do said Mrs. Lit
tletail.
But on the way home with the
pail of milk. all of sudden Uncle
Wiggily heard a rustling in the
bushes and out at him popped big,
cross, black Bear.
"Boo!" growled the Bear and IN
Gle Wiggily was so surprised that
before he quite knew what he was
doing, he threw the milk from the
pail into the eyes, nose and mouth
of the Bear
"Oh, gibble, gable, gobble!" how
| led the Bear, who was now surprised
himself and away he ran, not stop
ping to nibble the rabbit. Uncle
Wiggily looked at the empty pail.
We'll" he said, Il didn't exactly
spill the milk, but it is almost as
bad. I'll have to hop back and get
another pail full" Which he did
and nothing happened to this one
/ So Mr.. Littletail had milk in his
/ tea.
Thus everything came out all
right. Samnie had nice ball game
and if the bunch Of grapes will stop
throwing seeds in the face Of the
clock. I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily's straw flowers.
