"Take some of my berries with you," said the bush, "so you won't get
hungry."
"I will," answered the rabbit, and he filled his valise with nice, big
blackberries. He felt a little sad about the nice lunch the wushky-woshky
had eaten, but there was no help for it--that lunch was gone completely.
So Uncle Wiggily said good-by to the kind berry bush, and traveled on once
more to seek his fortune.
"Watch out for the wushky-woshky," called the bush to the rabbit, as she
waved her friendly stickery branches at him.
"I will," he said, and then he passed up over the hill and out of sight.
The first place he came to was an old hollow stump, where an old owl had
once lived. The rabbit looked down inside the stump, but there was no
fortune there.
The second place he came to was a curious little house built of bark,
where an old dog, who was a friend to Peetie and Jackie Bow Wow, used to
live, but the old dog was away on his vacation at Ocean Grove, so he
wasn't at home.
"Perhaps there is a fortune in here," thought the rabbit, but there wasn't
any and he went on.
Now the third place he came to was a little house, made out of
clothespins, where a pussy cat lived, and the pussy wasn't home, for she
had just gone to the store to get some milk.
But the rabbit didn't know this, so he went inside the house to see if
there was any fortune there.
