"It certainly is," agreed Sammie, blinking his pink eyes because the wind blew in them. "I hope Uncle Wiggily has an adventure while we're with him."
And then, all of a sudden, a doggie ran across the road in front of the auto, and the doggie's tail was hanging down behind him and sticking out quite a bit, and, as it was quite a long tail, Uncle Wiggily nearly ran over it, but, of course, he didn't mean to, even if he had done it.
"Look out of the way, little doggie!" cried the old gentleman rabbit, kindly.
"I am looking as fast as I can!" cried the doggie, and he ran to the sidewalk as quickly as he could, and then he turned around to see if his tail was still fastened to him.
"That came near being an adventure," said Susie, waving her pocket handkerchief.
"Yes, almost too near," said Uncle Wiggily. "I think I will go through the woods instead of along the streets, and then I won't be in any danger of running over any one."
So he steered the auto toward the woodland road, and Sammie cried:
"Oh, I know what let's do! Let's go call on Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrel boys. Then we'll have some fun."
"All right, we'll do it," agreed Uncle Wiggily, for he liked fun as much as the children did, if not more.
Well, as they were going along the road, all of a sudden they heard a little voice calling to them.
