tune in here," thought the rabbit, but there wasn't
any and he went on.

Now the third place he came to was a little house, made out of
clothespins, where a pussy cat lived, and the pussy wasn't home, for she
had just gone to the store to get some milk.

But the rabbit didn't know this, so he went inside the house to see if
there was any fortune there. And the first thing he saw on the mantelpiece
was a tin bank, and when he shook it something inside of it rattled, and
when he peeped in Uncle Wiggily saw a whole lot of pennies in the tin
bank.

"Oh fine!" he cried, "now I have my fortune at last. Some one has gone
away and left all this money, so I might as well take it."

Well, he was just putting the bank full of pennies into his valise, when
the pussy came back with the bottle of milk.

"Oh! are you going to take my bank away from me?" she cried, very sadly.
"I have been saving up my pennies for a long time, and now you have them."

"Oh, I wouldn't take them for the world!" cried the rabbit. "I didn't know
they were yours, it's all a mistake," and he placed the bank right back
on the mantel. "But perhaps you could tell me where to find my fortune,"
said Uncle Wiggily, and he told the pussy all about his travels.

"First we will have a drink of milk," said the pussy, and she poured out
some for the rabbit. "Then I will go into the woods a little way with you
and help you look for your fortune."

"Perhaps we had better take some lunch with us," said the rabbit, so he
went to the store and got a nice lunch, which he put up in his valise, and
then he and the pussy started off together to the woods.

They looked here and there and everywhere and even around corners, but no
fortune could they find, and pretty soon it began to get a little dark.
And then suddenly it got all dark.

"Oh, I can never find my way back home!" cried the pussy. "And I am afraid
in these lonesome woods."

"Oh! don't be frightened," said Uncle Wiggily, who was very brave. "I will
build a camp fire and we can stay here all night. I will cook some supper
and in the morning I will take you home."

Then the pussy wasn't afraid any more. She helped the rabbit to gather up
some dry leaves and little sticks, and also some big sticks, and soon
Uncle Wiggily had a fine fire merrily blazing away in the woods, and it
was nice and light. Then he took some leafy branches and made a little
house for himself and the pussy and then they cooked supper,
