1. “This is too lovely weather to stay in the hollow stump bungalow,” said Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one day. “I’ll get Uncle Wiggily to take me for a ride in his automobile.” Going to the door the muskrat lady housekeeper called: “Wiggy! Oh, Wiggy! Where are you?” But no answer came, though the car was in plain sight in the yard. “I wonder if he has gone adventuring by himself?” said Nurse Jane.
2. Once more the muskrat lady called. And then a voice, faint and far off answered her: “What do you want?” The muskrat lady nearly jumped out of her skin. “Where in the world are you, Wiggy?” she asked. “I’d like you to take me for a ride.” Uncle Wiggily crawled from beneath the machine. “I have been fixing the car so it would ride faster and better,” he answered. “I’ll soon be ready for you.”
3. The rabbit gentleman washed himself clean of oil and black dirt, and, dressed in his best suit, he started to take Nurse Jane for a ride. “Maybe we’ll have some adventures,” spoke the muskrat lady. At first the auto ran along very easily. But, all of a sudden, it reared up on its hind wheels like a skittish horse and began moving backward. “Oh, Uncle Wiggily, what did you do to it?” cried Nurse Jane.
