Well, Uncle Wiggily, carefully carrying the cones, started to hop back to where he had left Grandfather Goosey. He hadn't gone far before he heard a growling voice cry out: "Hold on there a moment, Uncle Wiggily!" "Why?" asked the rabbit. "Because I want to see what you've got," was the answer.
He comes in it about five pages farther on. Well, after traveling for several hours, Uncle Wiggily ate his dinner, then he hopped on some more, and he looked all around for his fortune, but he couldn't find it. Then it began to get dark, and he wondered where he could stay that night.
It was about Uncle Wiggily Longears being up in the top of the tall tree, and the alligator keeping guard down below, ready to eat him. Well, the old gentleman rabbit was wondering how he could ever escape, and he felt quite badly about it. "I guess this is the end of my adventures," he said to himself. "It would have been much better had I stayed at home with Sammie and Susie."
So Uncle Wiggily was saved by the ants, and in case the trolley car doesn't run over my stick of peppermint candy, and make it look like a lolly-pop, I'll tell you soon about Uncle Wiggily and the good giant. Now what do you s'pose that bad giant had for supper the night after the ants helped Uncle Wiggily get away? You'd never guess, so I'll tell you.
And when he looked there was not, but it was covered with long, thin pine needles, which are almost as slippery as glass. It was on these that the rabbit gentleman had slipped down hill. "Well, there is no great harm done," said Uncle Wiggily to himself, as he found no bones broken. "I had a little slide, that's all.
He went along as carefully as he could, but, just as he was going down a little hill, under the trees, he came to a place which was so slippery that, before he knew it, all of a sudden Uncle Wiggily fell down and slid to the bottom of the hill. "My goodness!" he cried, as he stood up after his slide. "I did not know there was snow or ice on that hill."
"Yes, you will, too!" suddenly cried out a voice, and out from the bushes ran the elephant. "I'll pick the cherries off the tree with my long, nosey trunk," he said, "and you can make all the pie you want to, Uncle Wiggily." "Why, I thought you went back to the circus," said the rabbit. "No, I ran away from the man," spoke the elephant.
And, all of a sudden, just at the most scary part, where the big giant falls down stairs, jumps over the cot bed and scares Cora Janet's doll and Pocahontas and Ethel Rose all of a sudden, I say, just as Uncle Wiggily got to that part, there was a noise out on the porch, and a voice cried: "I want to come in! I must come in!" "Oh, dear!" gasped Flop Ear.
For, you see, rabbits always have to take charge of the Easter eggs, but of course you know that." So the rabbits and the muskrat nurse kept on through the woods, leaving Papa and Mamma Littletail at home in the burrow. Uncle Wiggily walked on ahead, and pretty soon he came to a tree, where he stopped.
"Yes," answered a voice. "I'm here, and I'm surely in trouble." "Who are you, and what is the trouble, if I may ask?" politely went on Uncle Wiggily. "I am the king," was the answer. "This is my palace, but, with all that, I am in trouble. Come in."
