UNCLE WIGGILY’S ROLLING HOOP OR HOW THE BUNNY GENTLEMAN GETS MIXED UP

1. One day, when Uncle Wiggily was hopping along, wishing for an adventure, all of a sudden he heard a voice calling: “Look out! Look out! It’s coming!” Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink nose. “Perhaps it is an adventure that is coming,” thought the bunny. But it was the hoop of Susie Littletail, the rabbit girl. It ran away from her and tangled itself up in Uncle Wiggily’s legs. Oh, Susie, my dear!

2. Uncle Wiggily tried to jump out of Susie’s hoop, after the round wooden ring tangled itself on his legs, but the more he tried to stand up the more the bunny gentleman sat down. “I am afraid Susie, my dear,” said Uncle Wiggily, as he looked at the little rabbit girl, “I’m afraid you don’t know how to roll a hoop straight.” Susie said: “I’m afraid so, too, Uncle Wiggily. Please give me a hoop lesson.”
