7. Keeping the bonnet pulled down over his face, the Bushy Bear, pretending to be a lady, got on the bob sled. “Put your paws around me and hold on,” invited Mrs. Twistytail. But as soon as the Bear did that, he showed his long claws, which the pig lady saw. “Oh, mercy!” squealed Mrs. Twistytail. “This is dreadful!” The bunny and the goat, who were giving the ladies a ride, turned to see what was the matter.
8. “This isn’t a poor old lady at all!” squeaked Mrs. Twistytail. “It’s the Bushy Bear with a dress on!” Then Uncle Wiggily saw that he had been fooled. “Quick, Uncle Butter!” whispered the rabbit. “Give the rope a hard pull! We’ll get rid of the bad chap!” Jerking on the sled suddenly, the Bear was jiggled off backward. “Now let’s run to the hill and coast down!” cried the bunny. “Run fast, Butter!”
9. Away ran the bunny and the goat, pulling the sled with the animal ladies on it. Casting aside his wife’s dress, which tangled in his legs, the Bushy Bear tried to follow. But Uncle Wiggily soon reached the top of the coasting hill. “Down we go!” he cried as he and the goat jumped on the sled and slid to safety. “Fooled again!” growled the Bear, sitting down on top of the hill. “Plop him!” cried the Squigglers.
