(00:24):
Wiggily's Automobile. If you remember,in the last chapter, Uncle Wiggily's automobile
broke down and he had to getit fixed. It got fixed, and
now we move on Uncle Wiggily andthe school teacher. Uncle Wiggily longears.
(00:47):
The nice old rabbit gentleman was ridingalong in his automobile with a turnip for
steering will and he had not takenmore than two bites out of the turnip
so far, for it was onlyshortly after breakfast. With him was mister
Cockaw the black crow gentleman. Doyou think your automobile will go all right
(01:10):
now? Asked the crow as helooked down from his seat at the big
wheels, which had sausages around fortires. So in case Old Perceval the
circus dog get hungry, he couldeat one for lunch. Oh, yes,
it will go all right now,said the rabbit gentleman, especially since
we have had it fixed, Ithink if I am not mistaken. But
(01:34):
I told you in the story beforethis one, how Uncle Wiggily had been
advised by Doctor Possum to go travelingaround for his health, and how he
had started off in the auto.Did I tell you that he met mister
Cockaw and the tinkling glum on theautoo broke where also was the wittle wattle
woman. Anyway, it wouldn't go, and old Doll Perceval come coming along,
(02:00):
pulled the machine to the repair shop. Then Uncle Wiggily and mister Corcow
slept all night, and now itwas daylight again, and they had started
off once more. It is alovely morning, said Uncle Wiggily, as
he drove the machine over the fieldsand through the woods. A lovely spring
(02:23):
day. But we may get anApril shower before night, said mister cow
Cock, the crow gentleman who hadblack feathers, and who was always sad
instead of being happy. Oh dear, I'm sure it will rain, he
said. Nonsensicalness, cried Uncle Wiggily, swinging his ears around, just like
(02:47):
some cigress balloons trying to get awayfrom an elephant eating peanuts. Cheer up.
Be happy. Well, if itdoesn't rain, it will snow,
said the sad crow. Oh,cheer up, said Uncle Wiggily, as
he took another bite out of theturnip, steering Riel have a nibble,
(03:09):
he went on politely. It mayonly blow. Oh I'm sure it will
do something smoke the gloomy crow,and I don't dare for turnip anyway.
Have some corn, then, saidUncle Wiggily. Is it popped, asked
(03:31):
the crow. No, but Ican pop it, said the old gentleman
rabbit. I will put it onmy automobile engine, which gets very hot,
almost like a glass stove. Sothe old rabbit gentleman, who was
riding around in his auto to takeexercise because he was getting too fat,
(03:53):
and doctor Possum had said, sopop the corn on the hot engine,
and very good. It was toofor the crow to eat. But even
the popcorn could not seem to makethe unhappy crow feel better, and he
cried so much as the otto wentalong that his tears made a mud puddle
(04:17):
in the road where they happened tobe just then, and the auto wheels
with the sausages on for tires,splashed in the mud and made it fly
all over, just like anything.Then, just as Uncle Wiggily steered the
altar right away from the road intoa nice green wood where the leaves were
(04:41):
just coming out on the trees,the old gentleman Rabbit heard someone saying,
Oh dear, oh dear, ohdear me, I know I'll never be
at school on time. Oh whata bad accident, my cried Uncle Wiggily.
What can that be? Oh,something tread fool. You may be
(05:02):
sure, said mister Carcart the crowgentleman. Oh, I just knew something
would happen on this trip. Welllet it happen, said Uncle Wiggily.
I like things to happen. There'sseems to be some one in trouble,
and I'm going to help whoever itis. Then please help me, said
(05:27):
the voice. Who are you,asked Uncle Wiggily. I am lady Mouse,
The school teacher said, some onethey could not see. And on
my way to school, I rana thorn in my foot, so I
cannot walk. If I am notthere on time to open the school,
the children will not know what todo. Oh isn't it terrible? Say
(05:51):
no more, cried Uncle Wiggily.Cheerfully, you shall ride to school in
my auto. Then you will bethere on time, and the animal children
will not have to go home andmiss their lessons. I am so glad
I can help you. Isn't ithorribly jolly to help people, cried Uncle
Wiggily to the crow, just asan English rabbit might have done. Huh
(06:15):
is jolly all right if you canhelp, said the crow. But I'm
sure something will happen. Some badelephant will eat off our sausage tires,
or a cow will drink the gasolene, or we shall roll down a hill.
Nonsensicalness, cried Uncle Wiggily, realexasperated, like which means bothered.
(06:42):
Get in, miss mouse school teacher, he said, and I will soon
have you at your classes. Sothe lady mouse school teacher got into the
autel and sat beside mister Cocka,who asked her how many six and seven
grains of corn were? Thirteen,said the nice mouse school teacher. Thirteen
(07:06):
in the winter, spoke the crow. But I mean in the summer.
Huh, six and seven are thirteenin summer, just as in winter,
said the lady mouse. Roll,croaked the crow. If you plant thirteen
(07:27):
grains of corn in summer, you'llget thirteen stocks each with thirteen ears of
corn ONRN, and each ear hasfive hundred and sixty three grains, and
thirteen times thirteen times five hundred timessixty three plus sixty three makes ugh?
(07:51):
How many does it make? Heasked Uncle Wiggily. Suddenly, Oh,
please stop, cried the Lady mouse'sschool teacher. You make my head How
much is one headache and two headaches? Asked the crow, who seemed quite
curious. Stop stop, cried UncleWiggily, as he took a bite out
(08:13):
of the turnip steering. Will youwill make an auto turn a somersault?
How much, said the crow?Is one summersault and one pepper salt added
to a mustard plaza and divided byThere you go, suddenly, cried Uncle
(08:37):
Wiggily, as the auto hit astone and stopped. You've made the plug
ab plun bite the whizzlewazzle. Ohdear, cried the crow. I knew
something would happen. Well, itwas your fault, said Uncle Wiggily.
Now I'll have to have the attofixed again. Can't we go on to
(08:58):
the school, asked the lady mouseteacher, anxiously. No, I am
sorry to say we cannot, saidUncle Wiggily. Then I shall be late
and the children will all run homeafter all. Oh, dear, I
knew something began the crow stop,it cried Uncle Wiggily, provoked. The
(09:24):
lady mouse teacher did not know whatto do, and it looked as if
she would be late, for evenwhen Uncle Wiggily had crawled under the autol
and had put pepper on the sausagetires, he could not make the machine
go. But just as the schoolteacher was going to be late, along
(09:48):
came flying Dicky Chipchip, the sparrowboy, with this new airship. And
in the airship he gave the ladymouse school teacher a ride to school up
above the treetops, so she wasnot late after all. She called goodbye
(10:09):
to Uncle Wiggily, who some timeafterward had his auto fixed again. And
then he and the crow gentlemen wenton and had more adventures. The next
one i'll tell you about next time, not this time. Next time it's
