UNCLE WIGGnY,s TRICK HAT

Uncle W;ggily Longears was a
very stylish rabbit gentleman. One
Of the stylish things about him was
he often wore a tall silk hat like a
piece of stove pipe. Only, of course,
Uncle Wiggily S hat WASH It made OF
iron, which is what a tosve pipe is
made of. The hat was of silk and
cloth and looked very smart on the
rabbit gentleman.
One day, when Uncle Wiggily had
been out after adventures, without
finding any, he came home to his
hollow stump Bungalow.

as she kissed his pink nose. "What

How are you going to stop

That night and part of next
morning Uncle Wiggily worked at
making his trick hat that couldn t
be knocked off by a SNOWFALL
thrown by Gsofus McGiffus.
Wearing Trick Hat
In the afternoon, when he knew
the bad dog boy would be out play
ing, Uncle Wiggily, wearing his
trick hat, hoped down the wood
land path where most often his
hat had been knocked off before.

the SNOWFALL didn't knock the
bunny s hat off and into a drift.
The SNOWFALL did lift the rabbit s
hat off his head but, all at once,
and without the bunny's paws
touching it, that hat just sat down
again right on the rabbit IS head
the same as before.
"'That IS funnylp barked Goofus
McGiffus. He threw another ball.
Again Uncle Wiggily's trick hat
popped up off his head a little way
but it soon popped back again
without falling off. When this
happened for the third time the
bad dog howled and said 81 don It
like thislp Then he ran away, he
never threw any more snowballs
at hats and Uncle Wiggily laughed.
