[Pg 4]

1. “This is too lovely weather to stay in the hollow stump bungalow,” said Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy one day. “I’ll get Uncle Wiggily to take me for a ride in his automobile.” Going to the door the muskrat lady housekeeper called: “Wiggy! Oh, Wiggy! Where are you?” But no answer came, though the car was in plain sight in the yard. “I wonder if he has gone adventuring by himself?” said Nurse Jane.

[Pg 5]

2. Once more the muskrat lady called. And then a voice, faint and far off answered her: “What do you want?” The muskrat lady nearly jumped out of her skin. “Where in the world are you, Wiggy?” she asked. “I’d like you to take me for a ride.” Uncle Wiggily crawled from beneath the machine. “I have been fixing the car so it would ride faster and better,” he answered. “I’ll soon be ready for you.”

[Pg 6]

3. The rabbit gentleman washed himself clean of oil and black dirt, and, dressed in his best suit, he started to take Nurse Jane for a ride. “Maybe we’ll have some adventures,” spoke the muskrat lady. At first the auto ran along very easily. But, all of a sudden, it reared up on its hind wheels like a skittish horse and began moving backward. “Oh, Uncle Wiggily, what did you do to it?” cried Nurse Jane.

[Pg 7]

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.

[Pg 8]

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.

[Pg 9]

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!

[Pg 10]

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!”

[Pg 11]

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.

[Pg 12]

9. Faster and faster the auto ran after the Alligator. “Ha! Ha!” laughed Nurse Jane. “I wonder how the Skillery Skallery chap likes being chased? Keep on, Auto!” And the auto kept on, until, all of a sudden, it reached the Alligator, and, bumping the bad chap with the front wheels, sent the ’Gator flying over the trees. “Ah, now I can faint safely,” sighed Nurse Jane. And the Squiggle Bugs danced.

[Pg 13]

And if the cream puff doesn’t jump into the pickle jar to hide away from the
chocolate cake when they’re playing tag, the next
pictures and story will tell how

UNCLE WIGGILY WITH HIS SNOW PLOW, A
KINDNESS TRIED TO DO. THE FOX AND WOLF WERE
VERY MEAN. THAT’S WHAT I THINK; DON’T YOU? I HOPE SO!

[Pg 14]

1. One day, after a heavy fall of snow, Uncle Wiggily got out his snow plow, and, with Curly and Floppy Twistytail, started to plow a path around the hollow stump bungalow. “Now Nurse Jane can get out and go to the three and four-cent store,” said the bunny. “I know someone who can’t get out!” barked Jackie Bow Wow. “Grandpa Goosey is snowed in!” The bunny said he’d plow him out.

[Pg 15]

2. “Come, boys!” called Uncle Wiggily to Curly and Floppy, when he heard that his friend Grandfather Goosey Gander was snowed in. “We must dig him out.” Off they started and the piggie boys went so fast that they scattered a shower of snow on either side. “If anyone was there,” grunted Curly, “we’d snow them under.” Floppy said that was so. On they went, faster and faster to the pen of Grandpa Goosey.

[Pg 16]

3. Reaching the goose gentleman’s house, Uncle Wiggily saw that it was all snowed in, for there had been a blizzard. “But we’ll soon make a path for him!” cried Mr. Longears, twinkling his pink nose. “Lively now, piggie boys!” Around the house they went with the snow plow, Uncle Wiggily steering it. “Thank you for digging me out!” quacked Grandpa. “Uncle Butter is next,” mewed Tommie Kat.

[Pg 17]

4. “What’s that?” cried Uncle Wiggily as he heard Tommie mewing. “Your friend Uncle Butter, the goat, is also snowed up,” said Tommie. “We must snow plow him out!” cried Uncle Wiggily. “Hurry, piggie boys!” Very soon they came to a big wall of snow. Over the top they saw a chimney. “Uncle Butter lives there,” said Curly. “But our plow can never get through all that snow. What shall we do?”

[Pg 18]

5. All of a sudden, as Uncle Wiggily and the piggie boys were wondering how to get Uncle Butter out of his snow-drifted house, there sounded a loud: “Baa-a-a-a-a!” Then through the snow wall came the goat gentleman, head first. “How did you get out?” asked Uncle Wiggily, as the goat flew over his head. “I lowered my horns and I butted my way through the snow,” bleated the goat. “Now I’ll help you.”

[Pg 19]

6. After Uncle Butter burst his way through the snow, he helped the piggies pull the snow plow, and they cleared a path around the goat’s house. “We must dig out more of my friends,” said Uncle Wiggily. Off they started again, and at last they came to two big heaps of snow. “Hum!” said the bunny. “Some of my friends must live here, though I can’t remember who they are. But I’ll plow them out.”

[Pg 20]

7. All of a sudden, just as Uncle Wiggily was going to plow around the two snow mounds, to dig out those whom he thought were his friends—all at once, from one mound burst the Fox, and from the other the Wolf. “Ha! Ha!” snickered the bad chaps. “That’s the time we fooled Uncle Wiggily. He thought we were his friends, but now we can nibble his ears.” You can imagine how sad Uncle Wiggily felt.

[Pg 21]

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.

[Pg 22]

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.

[Pg 23]

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.

[Pg 24]

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.

[Pg 25]

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.”

[Pg 26]

3. All of a sudden, when Uncle Wiggily was squinting down the hose nozzle, the water quickly spurted out. Before the rabbit gentleman could jump away he got his face full of water. “Oh, my goodness!” exclaimed Mr. Longears. “I didn’t think it was going to do that!” In the window of the bungalow Nurse Jane couldn’t help laughing. “Didn’t I tell you to be careful, Wiggy, my dear!” she called out.

[Pg 27]

4. Uncle Wiggily began to grow excited. He jumped about and tried to pull the hose straight so he might water his garden, but the hose kinked itself around one of his paws. “Oh my!” he cried. “I must be very careful or I’ll fall and bump my pink nose.” The bunny danced about, trying to get loose from the hose. But all the while the water was spurting out, and, as he waved the nozzle, he scattered showers.

[Pg 28]

5. At last Uncle Wiggily hopped out of the kinky loop of the hose, and he was just going to start watering his garden when up rose Mrs. Twistytail, the lady pig. “Look what you did to me, Uncle Wiggily!” she cried, shaking her parasol at him. “I’m soaking wet!” And the rabbit gentleman was so flustered that he stuck the hose straight up in the air. Well—what goes up must come down, you know!

[Pg 29]

6. “I beg your pardon, Mrs. Twistytail! I really beg your pardon!” exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. The pig lady grunted and waddled away to get dry. Then the bunny noticed how wet he, himself, was. “Oh, I must wring out my coat!” he exclaimed. He laid aside the hose for a moment, but he never saw that he had pointed it at the open kitchen window of his bungalow. “Swish!” went the water in the window.

[Pg 30]

7. Nurse Jane was in the kitchen, baking a lollypop pie, and when she felt the water coming in she rushed to the window and cried: “Oh, stop it, Uncle Wiggily! Stop it!” The rabbit gentleman grew so excited that he grabbed up the hose and, before he knew it he was sprinkling Uncle Butter the goat. “Don’t wet me!” bleated Uncle Butter. “Save the water for the bushy Bear! He’s coming along!”

[Pg 31]

8. “Oh, Uncle Butter! I beg your pardon, also!” cried Uncle Wiggily, as he saw what he had done. “Never mind about begging pardons,” bleated the goat. “Get ready for the Bear. He’s right behind me!” And, surely enough, the Bushy Bear came lumbering around the corner of the hollow stump bungalow. “Give me some ear nibbles!” he growled. “Give him the hose!” cried Uncle Butter.

[Pg 32]

9. “Ha! That’s a good idea!” exclaimed the bunny as the Bear made a rush for him. “Good morning, Mr. Bear!” went on Mr. Longears, politely. “Have you washed your face today? If you haven’t I’ll wash it for you!” And with that he sozzled the Bear good. “Ha! Ha!” laughed Uncle Butter. “Do you want any ears to nibble?” The Bear flopped a somersault, growling: “This is too much! I’ll be good!”

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
