It didn't take Uncle Wiggily and Grandfather Goosey Gander long to get away from the place where the bad snake was, let me tell you, even if the crawly creature had eaten three popcorn balls, and would sleep for six months. "This is no place for us," said the rabbit. "We must see if we can't find our fortune somewhere else."
I am too unlike Mary for her to stand being mothered by me. 'There must be some other influence at work for this perverseness to keep on so long. Tell me, did she take up with that very goosey girl, that Miss Hacket? 'Oh yes; she goes there every Sunday afternoon. It is the only thing the poor child seem much to care about, and I don't think there can be any harm in it.
"No, but I have sweet honey, and if I go down to the ice cream cone store, and give the man some of my honey he'll give me three cones, and there'll be one for you and one for me and " "One for Sister Sallie!" interrupted Grandfather Goosey. "I wish she was here now." "She could have a cone if she was here," said the honey bee, "as I could get four.
"My find, now," cried Chick-chick. "Here's where we do some real fine work, an' we can do it on the run, we can. See the tracks. What are they?" "Automobile tracks," yelled the squad. "What kind of a tire made 'em?" There was no enthusiastic shout this time. "An automobile tire," ventured Goosey. "Jes' so, Goosey. Jes' so! It was rubber one, too, why don't you say? Good, safe guess rubber."
And go he did, leaving his valise in charge of Grandfather Goosey, who sat down with it, under a shady tree. Pretty soon the old gentleman rabbit came to a little ice cream store, that stood beside the road, right near a little pond of water, where the ice-cream-man could wash his dishes when he had to make them clean.
"Not yet," admitted Goosey. "But I've got an idea." "When you're looking for treasure look for signs of old water-courses. If you find one, follow it along and see if it leads to a spring." "What good'll that do?" asked Goosey. "Twenty dollars' worth," replied Jolly Bill. "Twenty dollars in coin of the realm. This old buried treasure may be in such shape that you can't cash it.
His father had built a sort of counter at one end, with a desk and shelves behind it. Of course, there was not a book, or paper, in the place as yet nor a game. But Marty needed no explanation. "Janice Day! did you do all this?" he demanded, with a gasp. "Of course not, goosey! Lots of people helped. And they're going to help more if you boys show yourselves appreciative."
Miss Mollie Dane puts the toppers on the lot. I never met with such a bewildering sprite." "Odious, artful creature!" hissed the bride of Carl Walraven. "It is all her crafty scheming to attract the attention of that hoary-headed simpleton, Sir Roger Trajenna. "Because I am afraid, madame." "Afraid!" scornfully "afraid of a goosey girl of seventeen!
Thus it happened that a short time later, Chick-chick, Goosey and two other scouts were making a careful search around the bee tree. "Everything's trampled flat around here. That crowd this morning did it," announced Chick-chick. "Every fellow spread out ten yards to his left." It was Goosey who found the trail. "Here it is," he cried. "It's Brick's trail all right. Mr.
So that's how the rabbit got safely away, and the empty ice cream cones were of some use after all. But Uncle Wiggily wondered how he could get a full one for Grandfather Goosey Gander, and how he did I'll tell you pretty soon, when, in case a butterfly doesn't bite a hole in my straw hat, the next story will be about Uncle Wiggily and the red ants.
