valentine again. Up the hill they went, near the well of water,
and Jack fell down, and broke his crown, while Jill came tumbling
after, while Uncle Wiggily looked on and laughed. So it all happened
just as it did in the book, you see.

Mother Goose was very glad Uncle Wiggily had brought the water for
Simple Simon to go fishing in, and that afternoon she gave a
valentine party for Sammie and Susie Littletail, the Bushytail
squirrel brothers, Nannie and Billie Wagtail, the goats, and all the
other animal friends of Uncle Wiggily. And every one had a fine
time.

And if the cup doesn't jump out of the saucer and hide in the
spoonholder, where the coffee cake can't find it, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and little Jack Horner.

CHAPTER XI

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JACK HORNER

"Well, I think I'll go for a walk," said Uncle Wiggily Longears, the
rabbit gentleman, one afternoon, when he was sitting out on the
front porch of his hollow-stump bungalow. He had just eaten a nice

I do, I'll come home and tell you all about it."

"All right," said Nurse Jane. "You are a funny rabbit, to be sure!
Going off in the woods, looking for adventures when you might sit
quietly here on the bungalow front porch."

"That's just it!" laughed Uncle Wiggily. "I don't like to be too
quiet. Off I go!"

"I hope you have a nice adventure!" Nurse Jane called after him.

"Thank you," answered Uncle Wiggily, politely.

Away over the fields and through the woods went the bunny uncle,
looking on all sides for an adventure, when, all of a sudden he
heard behind him a sound that went:

"Honk! Honk! Honkity-honk-honk!"

"Ha! That must be a wild goose!" thought the rabbit gentleman.

So he looked up in the air, over his head, where the wild geese
always fly, but, instead of seeing any of the big birds, Uncle
Wiggily felt something whizz past him, and again he heard the loud
"Honk-honk!" noise, and then he sneezed, for a lot of dust from the
road flew up his nose.

"My!" he heard some one cry. "We nearly ran over a
