9. One big cabbage hit the mast of the raft and broke it. A lot of turnips knocked apart the craft of the Pirate Fox and Wolf. Into the water leaped the bad chaps, hit all over with sharp carrots. “We’ll save you, Uncle Wiggily! We’ll save you!” called Floppy and Curly. They took the rabbit gentleman into the boat with them and rowed him safely to shore, while the Fox and Wolf clung to the broken raft.

2. “We ought to have more than one kind of nuts at a party!” cried Johnnie, when the bunny’s hat was nearly full. “I know where there’s a hazel bush!” said Billie. “Let’s go there!” proposed Uncle Wiggily. And when the three friends reached the hazel nut bush, the wind was blowing so hard that it blew the nuts off the bush and into the bunny’s hat, and the caps of the squirrel chaps. It was jolly fun!
