8. Just as the Fox and Wolf jumped to catch Uncle Wiggily by the ears, Uncle Butter bleated: “Come on, piggie boys! We’ll fool these bad chaps. Come on! We’ll scatter snow over them and cover them up again as they were at first. Then they can’t nibble us!” Off started the goat gentleman and the piggie boys pulling Uncle Wiggily on the plow. On either side shot out a stream of snow over the Fox and the Wolf.
9. “Oh wow!” howled the Fox, as he felt himself being snowed in again. “Double-wow!” howled the Wolf. “And we get no ear nibbles after all. It’s all your fault, for being so hasty, Mr. Fox!” Then the Fox snarled and said: “’Tisn’t at all! It was your fault!” And there they were, stuck back in snow drifts as before. And then the piggie boys pulled Uncle Wiggily and Uncle Butter off on the snow plow.
And if the jumping jack doesn’t try to ride the rocking horse around the dining
room table and fall off and down into the salt cellar, the
next pictures and story will tell how
UNCLE WIGGILY WATERS
HIS GARDEN AND HIS NEIGHBORS, AND WHEN
BUSHY BEAR CAME LUMBERING ALONG HE WAS WATERED TOO.
1. There had been no rain in a long time, so Uncle Wiggily said: “I will take the hose and water the garden.” Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, in the hollow stump bungalow, heard the bunny gentleman getting ready to sprinkle. “Be careful,” she warned Uncle Wiggily. “Don’t get wet and don’t splash any of the neighbors.” The bunny gave a jolly laugh and said he guessed he knew how to handle a simple little hose.
2. Uncle Wiggily unwound the hose, fastened one end to the faucet and then he turned the nozzle toward the garden, which was very dry. But the water was a long time coming. “I wonder if the hose can be stopped up?” thought Uncle Wiggily. “Water ought to be spurting out by this time. I’ll look down the nozzle and see what’s the matter. I certainly can’t wet my garden without some water.”
