Party Great Fun

Party Great Fun
So Pinkie IS piano party was great
fun and she and Susie played to-
gether just like twins, and even
the animal boys clapped their paws
and said it was fine, especially the
ice cream and cake.
Because they were rather tired
after the party everyone in Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow
went to bed early. And in the dark
of the night the Bob Cat tried to
sneak in the bungalow to get some
thing to eat. The Bad Chap open
ed a window and stepped inside.
But he happened to open the win
dow beneath which stood Pinkie IS
piano. The Bob Cat not knowing
it was there stepped on the keys.
"Bang! Bang! Cling! Clang!
Thump! Thumpl Thump" Pinkie S
piano made lot of jangling noises,
not at all like music. And the
clangs SO frightened the bad Bob
Cat that he jumped back out of
the window and di6n't bite any,
body. Uncle Wiggily said it was a
good thing Pinkie got a piano for
Christmas.
And If the telephone will tell the
radio not to talk in its sleep and
