"
And then, all of a sudden, just as that tune was finished, there was a
terrible noise in the bushes.
"My goodness! What's that?" cried the monkey as he hopped up on top of one
of his hand organs and curled his tail around the handle.
"It sounds like a bear!" said the rabbit. "But don't worry. I'll do just
as the cricket did to the alligator and make him laugh so that he won't
hurt us."
"Good!" cried the monkey. And then the noise became louder and out from
the bushes popped a big animal. But it was an elephant instead of a bear,
and as soon as he saw the monkey and Uncle Wiggily he ran up to them and
shook his trunk at them and cried:
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you! I just got away from the circus, and I want
to have some fun!" and he was as kind and gentle as he could be and he and
Uncle Wiggily had quite an adventure the next day.
I'll tell you about it on the next page, when, in case the little boy
across the street doesn't tickle my pussy cat and make him sneeze the
rubbers off the umbrella plant, the story will be about Uncle Wiggily and
the big dog.
STORY XIII
UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE BIG DOG
Let's see, I left off in the last story just where the elephant came out
of the woods and shook his tail--I mean his trunk--at Uncle Wiggily and
the funny monkey, didn't I? Well, now, I'm going to tell you what happened
after that.
