So she took some long, strong
pieces of grass for thread. Then she made her sharp bill go back and forth
in the cloth of Uncle Wiggily's coat and soon it was all mended again as
good as new. Then the rabbit thanked the bird and started off again to
seek his fortune and you could hardly see where his coat was torn.
Then Uncle Wiggily was very thankful to the tailor bird, and he stayed at
her house for some time, helping her sweep the sidewalk mornings, and
bringing up coal, and all things like that. And the old gentleman had some
more adventures.
But as I have already made this book quite long, I think I will have to
save the rest of the stories for another one. I'll get it ready as soon
as I can for you, and the name of it is going to be "Uncle Wiggily's
Fortune."
Just think of that! He really does find his fortune in that book, though
he has quite some trouble, let me tell you. But bless your hearts! Trouble
is only another kind of fun!
So now we will say good-by to Uncle Wiggily for a time, and soon you may
hear more about him. Good-by and good luck to all of you.
