“Oh, I am so glad to see you gentlemen!” grunted Mrs. Twistytail as Uncle Wiggily and Uncle Butter came up the steps. “I wish I had a vase in which to put these blossoms.” Uncle Wiggily took off his hat. “Use this,” he said. “Fill it with water and put the blossoms in. It’s a regular vase!” Mrs. Twistytail said it was. Uncle Butter suddenly ran away. “I’m going to buy me a tall silk hat!” he called back.
And if the wash tub doesn’t try to ride to the moving pictures on the back of the clothes horse and make a smile come on the face of the clock, the next pictures and story will tell how
UNCLE WIGGILY BROUGHT HOME COMPANY WITHOUT TELLING NURSE JANE. MISS FUZZY WUZZY WAS SO SURPRISED, BUT MR. HEDGEHOG HELPED A LOT.
One day, when Uncle Wiggily was out walking in the woods, he met Mr. Hedgehog Porcupine. “Ah, good morning, Mr. Hedgehog,” said the bunny uncle, with a low and polite bow of his tall silk hat. “You are looking quite happy, and not at all fretful to-day.” Mr. Hedgehog also made a polite bow. “No, I am not fretful, and my stickery quills are not sticking up just now,” the Porcupine said. “Will you do me the favor to come home with me?” asked Uncle Wiggily. “We’ll run away from that bear!”
“Well, as I am hungry, I will come home to dinner with you,” said Mr. Hedgehog. He and Uncle Wiggily walked through the woods until they reached the bunny’s hollow stump bungalow. As Nurse Jane opened the door Uncle Wiggily said: “My dear Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, I have brought home company for dinner.” And then, all of a sudden, the quills of the Porcupine stuck up straight. “Oh, my goodness!” cried Nurse Jane. “Don’t be afraid!” spoke Mr. Hedgehog. “I am just a bit fretful because of the bear I saw in the woods.”
