UNCLE WIGGILY'S FUNNY
APPLE

One day when Uncle Wiggily was
hopping through a field he saw a
farmer and his man gathering ap-
pies from a tree that grew in the or
chard. They were late Fall apples
and the farmer and his man were
picking them to put in the cellar to
make apple pies in Winter.
Standing behind a stone fence,
where he could see. but where no one
could see him, and where he could
hear what was said, Uncle Wiggily
listened TO the farmer. The rabbit
gentleman could understand what
was being said. though he couldn't
speak man talk.
Well, I guess that's enough ap-
piles for u.s." said the farmer when
all the baskets were filled.
There are few left on the tree,
said the hired man.
We'll leave those for the birds, the
squirrels and the rabbits said the
kind farmer. They'll want some
thing to eat, now that Winter is
coming, just as we will. They may
have the apples left on the tree
That's very kind of him." said
Uncle Wiggily behind the stone
fence. He could see many good ap-
piles on the tree, especially a very
large one, colored red. Il should
like that apple" said Mr.. Longears.
If could get it down I would take
1t home to my wife"

But, being a rabbit, Uncle Wiggily
couldn't climb a tree like a pussy
cat. So, after the farmer and his
man had gone, the bunny hoped
