And this time he stuffed a dish-rag in the
crack so no more pennies would fall through.
"Well, Uncle Wiggily, where are you going now?" asked the King, as
he saw the bunny gentleman hopping away with the bunch of carrots.
"I hardly know that myself," answered the rabbit. "I want to have
more adventures, either with the friends of Old Mother Hubbard and
Mother Goose, or with some of the animal or birds that live in the
woods."
"I think some adventures with birds would be exciting," spoke the
King. "This blackbird who nipped off the maid's nose was a lively
sort of chap."
"He was, indeed," agreed the bunny gentleman. "I think I should like
some adventures with my feathered friends who fly in the air. When I
come back I'll tell you about them, Mr. King."
"Please do," begged the gentleman with the gold and diamond crown.
And so, as long as the rabbit wishes it, and if the condensed milk
doesn't jump out of the molasses jug and scare the coffee pot so
that it drinks tea, I shall make the next book "Uncle Wiggily and
the Birds," and I hope you will like it.
