9 “It’s a good thing you landed here with us, Mrs. Twistytail,” said Nurse Jane, as the pig lady fell softly on the rug. “It’s a good thing I didn’t alight on a church steeple!” grunted Mrs. Twistytail. “Oh, I never felt such a wind in all my life!” Uncle Wiggily said he was glad the pig lady happened to drop in. And then down to the ground went the rug with a bump. “How jolly!” laughed the Squiggle Bugs.
And if the lemon squeezer doesn’t pinch the rubber ball and make

THE OLD FOLKS THINK IT’S EASY TO
BE VERY GOOD IN SCHOOL. WELL; UNCLE WIGGILY
TRIED IT, BUT BROKE NEARLY EVERY RULE. HAVE A LOOK!
How Mr. Longears Showed the Piggy Boys How to Behave in School
1. One day, as he was hopping through the woods, Uncle Wiggily met Curly and Floppy Twistytail coming from school with their books. “Why are you so late coming from school?” asked the bunny. “We were kept in,” grunted Floppy. “For being bad and having fun,” squealed Curly. “Tut! Tut!” scolded Uncle Wiggily. “You should be good in school. Tomorrow I’ll go to school and show you how.”
2. The Lady Mouse Teacher said she would be very glad to have Uncle Wiggily come to the Hollow Stump School and show the animal boys and girls how to be good. So the bunny gentleman, next day, took his place at one of the desks. But you know how it is—Jackie Bow Wow couldn’t help trying his new bean-blower. “Zip!” went a bean on Uncle Wiggily’s nose. Right away Uncle Wiggily felt like a boy again.
