And as for Uncle Wiggily Longears, the old rabbit gentleman, who was quite rich since he found his fortune, he was so busy that he wore out two rheumatism crutches and Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy had to gnaw him another from a broom stick, instead of a corn stalk. Then it began to snow. Oh, how the white flakes did swirl down out of the sky, blowing here and there like feathers.
"Yes, I'll show you," agreed Sammie, and he led the cat toward the burrow. Now, he did not know any better, for he did not stop to think that cats will eat rabbits. And the cat was just thinking how easily she had provided a good dinner for herself, when Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, who was peeping out of the front door of the burrow, saw pussy.
Well, Grandfather Goosey-Gander started for home, and Jimmie and Lulu asked Sammie and Susie to come and play with them. Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy said they might, and they had a fine time under the trees in the woods, playing tag of all kinds; cross-tag, wood-tag, dirt-tag, leaf-tag, stump-tag, and a new kind, called acorn-tag, which I will explain about later.
The dog could, being an animal and understanding animal talk, but the dog couldn't tell the boys. "Don't be afraid," said the nurse. "Sammie, keep your head under more. Susie, strike out harder with your forepaws." The two bunny children did as they were told. Just then a stone came very close to Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, and she went completely beneath the water. "The muskrat's gone!" cried a boy.
They were talking about Uncle Wiggily's visit to the red fairy, in the rabbits' burrow the next day, when Susie remarked: "Well, if I saw a fairy, I think I'd ask for something more magical than having my rheumatism cured." "No you wouldn't," said her uncle, as he nibbled a bit of chocolate-covered carrot that Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy had made. "You think you would, but you wouldn't.
So Rover made it go as fast as he could, and then all of a sudden that boy went down under the water, out of sight. "Oh, he's drowned!" cried Uncle Wiggily sorrowfully. But he wasn't, I'm glad to say. Just then along came Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, the muskrat, swimming.
Just then he saw Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy coming out of the burrow, and he spoke to her: "Aren't Sammie and Susie up yet?" he asked. "They are just washing their faces and hands, ready for breakfast," answered the muskrat nurse. "They will soon be out." Sure enough, in a little while the two bunny children came running out.
"Well," spoke Uncle Wiggily Longears, "I wish you would. I must go and get something for my rheumatism." "You had better try a hot cabbage leaf," said Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy. "I have heard that is good." "I will," said the old rabbit, and he crawled back down into the burrow, while Susie and Sammie, with Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, went on to the brook.
Then Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, dropping the pan of potatoes she was peeling for supper, sprang at the ferret. And to-morrow night, if you are good children, you shall hear how Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy drove the ferret from the underground home and saved the bunny children.
Then she heard some one saying: "Ah, good day, Mr. Fox; what have you in that bag?" "I have apples in this bag," said the fox. Oh, but wasn't he the bold, bad story-telling fox, though? "Apples, eh?" asked the voice again, and then Alice knew right away who it was. Can you guess? No? Well, I'll tell you. It was Nurse Jane Fuzzy-Wuzzy, the kind old muskrat lady.
