Sammie and Susie Littletail, my rabbit friends, and Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrels, as well as Nannie and Billie Wagtail, the goats, go there. Hop in!" So Diller-a-Dollar, the late scholar, hopped in the auto, and he and Uncle Wiggily started off together. "You'll not be late this morning," said the bunny uncle. "I'll get you there just about nine o'clock."
Uncle Wiggily Longears, the nice rabbit gentleman, was sitting on the front porch of his hollow stump bungalow one day, when along came Billie Bushytail, the little squirrel boy. "Hello, Billie!" called the bunny gentleman, cheerful-like and happy, for his rheumatism did not hurt him much that day. "Hello, Billie." "Hello, Uncle Wiggily," answered the chattery squirrel chap.
I must bring Sammie and Susie Littletail here some day, and let them slide on pine needle hill. Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the two squirrels, would also like it, and so would Nannie and Billie Wagtail, my two goat friends." Uncle Wiggily was about to go on to the party when, as he looked at his new coat he saw that it was all torn.
But now I suppose you want to know what the story will be about to-morrow night. Well, if I see a pink grasshopper, I shall tell you about a visit the Wibblewobble children paid to poor, sick, Billie Bushytail. You remember how Lulu and Jimmie had to be punished for disobeying their papa and mamma, and going too near the waterfall, I suppose? They couldn't go in swimming for three days.
"Let me hold it a minute, will you?" asked Bully, and Jimmie very kindly let him. Then along came Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, and Sammie Littletail, and they all took turns holding the kite. Well now, in a few minutes, something dreadful is going to happen to Jimmie.
"Oh, then you must be Billie or Johnnie Bushytail," went on Sammie, for he remembered that once the little boy squirrels went sailing and were shipwrecked. "Yes, I'm Billie," said the voice, and then up popped the little squirrel. "But what did you say about a fairy?" he asked. "I thought at first you were a fairy," continued Sammie, and then he stopped digging the hole in the ground.
"Are you very busy, Uncle Wiggily?" asked the muskrat lady. "Why, no, Nurse Jane, not so very," answered the bunny uncle. "Is there something you would like me to do for you?" he asked, with a polite bow. "Well, Mrs. Bushytail and I have just baked some pies," said the muskrat lady, "and we thought perhaps you might like to take one to your friend, Grandfather Goosey Gander."
It happened one day that, as Bully No-Tail, the frog boy, was walking along with his bag of marbles going clank-clank in his pocket, he met Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrels. “Hello, Bully!” called the two brothers. “Do you want to have a game of marbles?” “Of course I do,” answered Bully. “I just bought some new ones. ‘First shot agates!’”
"There have been such a lot of fairies around here lately," Sammie added. "Red ones, and green ones, and blue ones, and " "Are you talking about Easter eggs or something else?" inquired Billie Bushytail. "Fairies, of course." "Oh, get out! Oh, ho! Don't tell me that! Why, how superfluous!" cried Billie, for that last was a new word he had just learned. "Don't mention fairies to me!" he continued.
"I really am," answered her brother. "Then you ought to have an audience to applaud you and clap when you do it," she went on. "Wait, and I'll run and get Johnnie and Billie Bushytail and Sammie and Susie Littletail, and " "No, don't!" cried Buddy, quickly. "Better wait until I walk across a few times, first, so as to sort of practise. Then I'll do the trick before folks."
