2. “I’ll show those animal boys that I can make a big kite, and one without a tail,” said Uncle Wiggily, twinkling his pink nose. So he bought some sticks, paper and string, and soon he had put together a kite larger than himself. “Uncle Wiggily, what in the world are you doing?” asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, as she saw the rabbit gentleman looking at his work. “I know something terrible will happen!”
3. “Nonsense, Nurse Jane!” laughed Uncle Wiggily. “Nothing terrible will happen! I’ll just show the boys how to fly a big kite, that’s all.” So the rabbit gentleman put up the big kite without a tail. He twisted the string around his waist, so it would not pull away, and then came such a big puff of wind that it took the kite, Uncle Wiggily and all up into the air. “There, I told you so!” cried Nurse Jane.
4. At first Uncle Wiggily was so surprised at being carried off by the kite, he didn’t know what to do. Then he tried to loosen the cord from around his waist, but it was tied in a hard knot. Straight toward Grandpa Goosey’s house the kite took Uncle Wiggily. “Bang!” the bunny’s paws knocked off the chimney. “Hi there!” cried Grandpa Goosey. “Please excuse me! I couldn’t help it!” shouted the bunny.
5. Sailing on, after knocking off Grandpa Goosey’s chimney, Uncle Wiggily was carried higher and higher by the big kite he had made. “I guess Nurse Jane was right,” he said to himself. “Something terrible is going to happen!” Just then the bunny felt a tug at the loose end of the kite string. He looked down. “Oh, you’re taking me away!” bleated Aunt Lettie. “Worse and worse!” said Uncle Wiggily.
6. The wind blew harder and sailed the kite along, taking Uncle Wiggily and Aunt Lettie with it. “Uncle Wiggily, what does this mean?” bleated the goat lady. “I wish I knew,” sighed the bunny. Just then the Fox and Wolf, down on the ground, saw the strange sight. “Come along!” snarled the Fox to the Wolf. “That string will break in a little while. They’ll fall and we can nibble their ears!”
