when he had been hopping. This
weasel is always hungry for rao-
bits. I hope he hasn't seen me!
He may pass me by!'
Then Uncle Wiggily did what all
small wild animals do when they
are in danger and dare not run
away. He "froze" himself. l don I
mean he got in the ice-box or any
thing like that. But he became as
stiff and still and as quiet as he
could so that he was almost like \
frozen rabbit. Weasels and other
animals like them want to catch
live RABBITS. not frozen ones. And
Uncle Wiggily thought if he kept
very still and didn't move this
weasel wouldn't see him and SO
would not jump on him and bite
him.
But the weasel had seen Uncle
Wiggily moving "a little while be-
fore this and the hungry, thin,
brown chap, whose fur turns white
in winter so he can hardly be seen
against the snow-this weasel crept
a little closer to the rabbit.
oh, he's coming for mel
thought Uncle Wiggily. If l make
a move to jump away he'll be on me
in a second and ne has sharp
teeth
Then, all of a sudden the butter
fly came to Uncle Wiggily's rescue.
The butterfly fluttered down SO
gently that it was like a drifting
leaf. Upon Uncle Wiggily's head
the butterfly fluttered and then it
spread its big wings so the round,
black spots, like eyes, showed most
plainly The weasel looked and
looked again in surprise.
What's this? What's this?'
whispered the weasel to himself
MI To Woo, the owl, here!
thought 1 saw Uncle Wiggily under
that bush, but now I see the big,
round, staring eyes of that terrible
OWL I can't fight Mr.. To Wool
I'd better go away
Though sometimes a weasel might
fight an owl, this weasel had no
mind to risk getting into a battle
with the big bird he thought was
staring at him from the low bush.
For the owls beak and claws are
as sharp as a weasel's teeth. And
the owl is bigger than the weasel.
So. with a last look at what he
thought were the big owl eyes, but
which, really, were only black
spots on the butterflys wings, Mr.
Weasel skunk away and Uncle Wig
gily was safe.
