Permission to issue the stories in book form was kindly granted by the publisher and editor of the News , to whom the author extends his thanks.
You know when Uncle Wiggily Longears, the old rabbit gentleman, started out to look for his fortune, he had to travel many weary miles, and many adventures happened to him. Some of those adventures I have told you in the book just before this one, and now I am going to tell you about his travels when he hoped to find a lot of money, so he would be rich.
One day, as I told you in the last story in the other book, Uncle Wiggily came to a farm, and there he had quite an adventure with a little boy. And this little boy had on red trousers, because, I guess, his blue ones were in the washtub. Anyhow, he and the rabbit gentleman became good friends.
And now I am going to tell you what happened when Uncle Wiggily met the red squirrel.
Where do you think you will go to look for your fortune to-day, Uncle Wiggily? asked the little boy with the red trousers the next morning, after the rabbit had stayed all night at the farm house.
