4. “I didn’t do anything to the auto except fix it,” said Uncle Wiggily. “Yes, you fixed it all right!” cried Nurse Jane. And just then the car settled down on all four wheels and began to race around a tree like playing Ring in the Rosie game. “Oh, what is going to happen now?” squeaked Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. Uncle Wiggily held her in as the car skidded on two wheels. “Don’t jump!” shouted the rabbit.
5. Uncle Wiggily twisted this way and that way on the steering wheel, and finally the auto stopped skidding around the tree. “Now I guess we are all right,” laughed the bunny rabbit. “Anyhow, you wanted some adventures, Nurse Jane, and you are getting them.” Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy sniffed. “Yes, I’m getting them all right,” she said. “Oh, what’s it doing now?” she cried, as the auto tilted up again.
6. By hard work, Uncle Wiggily saved Nurse Jane from falling out of the car. And by speaking kind words to the machine, and by putting a little talcum powder on the radiator, the rabbit gentleman at last got his auto to settle down and jog along as it should do. But, all of a sudden, as Nurse Jane looked back, wondering how many miles they had come, she saw the Skillery Skallery Alligator. Oh my!
7. “Ho! Ho!” bellowed the Alligator, opening wide his big mouth. “I shall soon have some fine ear-nibbles.” Then he flipped his tail and he flapped his tail and after Uncle Wiggily’s auto the Alligator ran. “Oh, go fast! Go fast, Uncle Wiggily!” cried Nurse Jane. So the rabbit uncle made his car go as fast as he could. “I hope it plays no more tricks,” thought Uncle Wiggily. “If it does, we are lost!”
8. All of a sudden, when the Alligator had almost caught Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane, the auto gave a shiver and a shake. “Oh, it’s going to cut up some more tricks!” cried the rabbit. “Come, Nurse Jane, we’ll get on the back seat.” And, no sooner were they safe on the back seat than the automobile turned around, all by itself, and began to chase the Alligator. “Now it is my turn!” honked the auto.
