UNCLE doy An THE ER Woy ny by pond News- paper Syndicate (By Howard R. Garis) One day when Uncle Wiggily was hopping through the woods, not far' from the hollow stump school, he met Baby Bunty, thé little rabbit girl, and, what do you think' Baby Bunty was crying! Yes, just as true as 1'm telling you «she was crying real, salty tears, that | po dribbléd down off the end of her pink nosé, which was fost beginning to twinkle ak did Unéle Wiggily's. "Why, Baby Bunty! What's the matter " asked the bunny rabbit gentleman, "Did a.bad Wolf or Fox scare you?" "No, Uncle Wiggily,"" Baby Bunty afiswered, "But in school today, the lady' mouse teacher took away my stre chy ball." "Youf' what!" 'eried eman, * Hy stretchy ball," repeated Baby 1 Hy my stretchy ball out in was Stretehing in and it come back to me and Balin teok it away." | '"Well, Baby Bunty," spoke the Abbi gentleman kindly, 'of course, ust having started school as you vé, in the kindergarten class, you saw be expected to know as much # the other children. But I must tell you that school is a place for learning your lessons, and not for playing with stretchy rubber balls, a8 you call them." -*I--1I know it," Baby Bunty sob- bed, "I won't do it again. But, oh, T just loved my stretchy ball, Unele Wiggily." "What in the world is a Stretchy ball?" asked the buny gentleman, looking at Baby Bunty. After he had given her a few lessons on mak- ing letters from toothpicks, as I told you fast night, the little rabbit girl had gone to school. "A stretchy ball," said Baby Bun- ty,"'Is a rubber one, and its fastened on the end of a long, thin piece of rubber. You throw the ball away out, the ball bounces, then the long rubber unstretches and the ball tomes back to you." "Oh, s0 that's what a stretchy ban nis, eh?" assked Uncle Wiggily. "Yes," answered Baby Bunty. "And I took my stretchy ball out in the hollow stump school and the lady mouse teacher saw me and she made me give her my nice ball--boo hoo!" Baby Bunty- was crying again! What do you think of that? But then she was a very little rabbit girl, you know, "Never mind, my dear," said Un- cle Wiggily kindly, as he wiped her salty tears away on his red, white and blue striped rheumatism erutch, "It was wrong, of course, for you to play with your stretchy ball in school. But as long as you didn't know it, and as you are never going to do it again--why--come with me to the three and four cent store and I'll buy you another ball." "Oh, fipe!" cried Baby Bunty, clapping her paws. Along shé hopped with Uncle Wig- gley to the toy store, and soon she had another *"'strétchy ball," as she called 'it. In the hole of the rubber the 'bunny ball was fastened a long, thin df tic. One end of this was tied te], Baby Bunty's wrist. 'And when she. tossed away her stretchy ball, the rubber '"'unstretching'" as the tere] Jo rabbit girl called it, pulled the ball} back to her so she caught it. "Now I can have some fun!"| laughed Baby Bunty. She was bouncing her stretchy ball along the woodland path when, al of a sudden, there was a rusting 'the bushes, and out poppea the Xi "Wuff! Wuff!" howled the his Fox, as he saw Uncle Wiggily an Baby Bunty. "This is my lucky day!" . "And our unlucky one!" sadly said Mn Longéars. "What are you going) to do, good 'Mr, Fox?" "I'm mot good Mr, Fox! I'm. bad, and I'm going to nibble your ears!" was the answer, "Oh, but first let's have a game of ball! Tag! You're it!" suddenly cried Baby Bunty. She threw: the pret 4 Ball atthe Fox. It hithim on thé end of his soft and tender nos®; "But when ¥e'put up his paw to catch the ball, it bdunced away, back to Baby Bunty. "What's the tdea?" asked thé Fox, exasperated like. "Tag again!" inswered Baby Bun- iy] ty, who was the liveliest little rab-{- ii Bir] you ever saw, "Tag! You're], Nhat she threw the stretchy atl] m at the Fox. but when he tried to grab the ba it bounced back to Baby Bunty. "Here! Give me that ball!" howled the bad chap. Again the rabbit girl threw it, hitting the Fox on she head, And when he tried, with both av to get the ball, it quickly stretch back to Baby Bunty. "Oh, this is a trick! This isa mas gic fairy ball! It will give me bad luck! I'd better run away!" howled the Fox, and away he ran. Baby Bunty's stretchy ball had saved her and Mr, Longears, So everything came out all right, and if the rice pudding doesn't hop out of the oven and hide down. cel- lar when the mince pie wants to go to the moving pictures, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the dandelions.
