Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uncle Wiggily hopped out one day to have an adventure,
and as it looked cloudy when he started, he took
his umbrella. The rabbit gentleman had not hopped very long
before it began to april shower. I'll just hoist my umbrella,
said the bunny. He was going along when he noticed
aunt Lettie the goat lady without an umbrella. Oh please

(00:24):
take mine, begged the bunny. I'd like to get wet.
Oh theyink you, pleaded aunt Lettie. But can't we both
walk under her this umbrella. Uncle Wiggily said no, as
he wasn't going her way. The bunny was getting quite

(00:45):
wet when up hopped mister Crooker, here's a loarge told
stool for you. Uncle Wiggily grunted, mister Crooker, you may
use that for an umbrella. I am used to the rain.
Uncle Wiggily thanked the toad and looked at Missus Twistytail.

(01:06):
Uncle Wiggily had not been under the told stool umbrella
very long before Missus Twistytail the pig lady, came along
with nothing to keep the April showers off her new bonnet.
Oh please take this toadstool begged the rabbit. Uncle, I
don't need it, Missus twistytail said. He was very kind

(01:28):
and invited him to walk under it with her, but
he was going the other way. I like to get wet,
he said politely. Uncle Wiggily hopped along in the rain
without an umbrella, when all of a sudden he heard
a voice say, wha, wha, wha. Come over here, mister longears,

(01:51):
and I'll give you a Japanese parasol. We don't need
weed ducks just live in the water. The bunny thanked
Missus wibble Wobble, just as Uncle Wiggily raised the paper umbrella,
which kept off the rain. Along came missus kluck cluck
the hen. Oh please, Missus kluck cluck, take this Japanese

(02:14):
parasol that Missus Wibblewobble loaned to me, cried Uncle Wiggily
to the hen lady, when he saw she was getting
all wet. Oh but I'll be rubbing you, cackled Missus
cluck cluck. Nonsense, laughed Uncle Wiggily. I don't mind April showers. Besides,
maybe I can get under the pan with this kind

(02:37):
dog I see coming along. Keep dry missus cluck cluck, oh,
Uncle Wiggily barked the ragged but polite tramp dog. It
won't do for you to get wet. Take my umbrella.
I made it out of an old dishpan I found
and a broomstick. It will keep you dry. As for me,

(03:00):
I'll stand out in the rain and wash my clothes
that way. Uncle Wiggily thanked the tramp dog. And just
then the bunny saw Missus Bushytail, the squirrel lady coming.
I must help her, he thought. Uncle Wiggily had no
sooner stepped under the pan umbrella than along came Missus Bushytail.

(03:22):
The squirrel lady was getting all wet. Oh my dear
Missus Bushytail, cried Uncle Wiggily. Pray allow me. This isn't
a stylish umbrella, but it will keep off the wet.
And the bunny stood in the april shower as Missus
Bushytail scrambled off. Then out of his house with some

(03:44):
pancakes came mister Stubtail, the nice bear. Look here, Uncle
Wiggily said, mister Stubtail, there's no need of you getting wet.
Here's some very tough pancakes my wife made I can't
eat them, rain won't hurt them. Fushen them on a
stick and they'll keep off the rain. The bunny thanking

(04:09):
the bear did this, and Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
through the rain with his pancake umbrella went out popped
the skillery scalery alligator. Wait a minute, grunted the alligator.
Oh no, answered Uncle Wiggily. I know what you want,
my ears. The gator growled, Well, I'm so hungry. I

(04:34):
must eat something stand still until I get to you.
But Uncle Wiggily wouldn't do that. Here, nibble some of
missus stubtails grittle cakes, he cried. They are so tough.
You can chew on them for a week and I
can get away. Then the sun came out end of

(04:58):
