STORY I

UNCLE WIGGILY STARTS OFF

Uncle Wiggily Longears, the nice old gentleman rabbit, hopped out of bed one morning and started to go to the window, to see if the sun was shining.  But, no sooner had he stepped on the floor, than he cried out: 

“Oh!  Ouch!  Oh, dear me and a potato pancake!  Oh, I believe I stepped on a tack!  Sammie Littletail must have left it there!  How careless of him!”

You see this was the same Uncle Wiggily, of whom I have told you in the Bedtime Books—­the very same Uncle Wiggily.  He was an Uncle to Sammie and Susie Littletail, the rabbit children, and also to Billie and Johnnie Bushytail, the squirrel boys, and to Alice and Lulu and Jimmie Wibblewobble, the duck children, and I have written for you, books about all those characters.  Now I thought I would write something just about Uncle Wiggily himself, though of course I’ll tell you what all his nephews and nieces did, too.

Well, when Uncle Wiggily felt that sharp pain, he stood still for a moment, and wondered what could have happened.

“Yes, I’m almost sure it was a tack,” he said.  “I must pick it up so no one else will step on it.”
