f all over and he
was glad to see that he hadn't broken anything except a lettuce sandwich
that he carried in his satchel and, as it was just as good broken as it
was whole, it didn't matter much.

"Oh, are you hurt?" suddenly cried a voice, as Uncle Wiggily took some
dirt out of his left ear. "If you are I can give you something to put on
your cuts," and out from under a big leaf came a beautiful butterfly.

"What can you put on my cuts?" asked the rabbit.

"Oh, I can get some sticky gum from a tree or a flower and spread it on a
leaf and make some court plaster," spoke the butterfly. "It will cure a
cut very quickly."

"Thank you very much," said Uncle Wiggily, "but very luckily I haven't any
cuts. I'm all right, I guess, but because you are so kind to me here is
just a drop of honey that I found in the bottom of my satchel. The bee
gave it to me." So he handed to the kind butterfly a little honey he had

Then the old gentleman rabbit traveled on, and pretty soon, when it was

out for myself, or some boys may chase me."

The music kept getting louder but still the old gentleman rabbit didn't
see any people, and he went on very slowly until he came to a little house
built of shingles, and there in front of it sat a monkey. And he was the
funniest monkey you ever saw.

For that monkey was playing five hand organs all at once. Yes, just as
true as I'm telling you, he was. He played one organ with his left paw and
he played another organ with his right paw, and he played still another
with his left foot and he twisted the crank of another with his right
foot. And then, to finish off with, he whirled around the crank of the
fifth organ with his long tail. Oh, he was a smart monkey, I tell you!

"My! This is almost as good as a circus!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. "I'm
glad I came this way."

Well, that funny monkey played faster than ever, and on one organ he
played the tune "
