Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hi, this is Stefanio. Welcome to the classic children's story
podcast Stories for Bedlund lay Time anytime to keep your
little ones entertained and happiness. We begin international collection of stories,
stories that teach, stories to entertain and more. We've got
(00:24):
another Uncle Wiggily story for you. This one's called Uncle
Wiggily's Troubles and this is part one, Uncle Wiggily and
the Red Squirrel. You know, when Uncle Wiggily longears the
old Robert Gentleman started out to look for his fortune.
(00:45):
He had to travel many weary miles, and many adventures
happened to him. Some of those adventures I told you
about in the book before this one. Now I'm going
to tell you about his travels when he hoped to
find a lot of money so he would be rich.
(01:09):
One day, Uncle Wiggily came to a farm, and there
he had quite an adventure with a little boy. And
this little boy had on red trousers because I guess
his blue wounds were in the washing machine. Anyhow, he
and the rabbit Gentleman became good friends. Now I'm going
(01:31):
to tell you what happened when Uncle Wiggily met a
red squirrel. Where do you think you will go to
look for your fortune today, Uncle Wiggily, asked the little
boy with the red trousers the next morning, after the
rabbit had stayed all night at the farmhouse. I I
(01:53):
do not know, said the rabbit. Gentleman. Perhaps I had
better do some traveling at night. I couldn't find the
pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but
perhaps there may be a gold or silver fortune at
the end of a moonbeam. I think i'll try. Oh
(02:17):
but won't you get sleepy at night, asked the little
boy's mother, as she fried an ice cream cone for
Uncle Wiggily's breakfast. Well, I could sleep in the daytime,
and then I will stay awake at night, answered the
traveling uncle, blinking his ears. Oh but aren't you afraid
(02:38):
of the boogieman at night, inquired the boy with the
red trousers. There are no such things as boogeymen, said
Uncle Wiggily, and if there were any, they would not
harm you. I am not a bit afraid in the dark,
except I don't like mosquitos who bite me. I think
(03:00):
I'll travel tomorrow night and look for gold at the
end of the moonbeam. So he started off that day
and he went only a short distance, for he wanted
to find a place to sleep in order that he
would be wide awake when it got dark. Well, he
(03:22):
found a nice soft place under a pile of hay,
and there he stretched out to sleep as nicely as
if he was in his bed at home. Even snored
a bit. I believe ELSI was bully Frog croaking one
of his songs. Anyhow, the day passed, and the sun
went down, and it got all ready to be night,
(03:44):
and still Uncle Wiggily slept on soundly. But all of
a sudden he heard voices whispering. Now you go that way,
and I'll go this way, and we'll catch that rabbit
and put him in a cage and sell them. Well,
(04:05):
you can just believe that Uncle Wiggily was frightened when
he awakened suddenly and saw two bad boys softly creeping
up and making ready to catch him. Oooh, this is
no place for me, the rabbit cried, and he grabbed
up his crutch and his case and hopped away so
fast that the boys couldn't catch him, no matter how
(04:26):
fast they could run, even barefooted. Let's throw stones at him,
they cried, and they did, But I'm glad to say
that none of them hit Uncle Wiggily, Isn't It's strange
how mean some boys can be, But perhaps they were
never told any better, so we'll forgive them this time. Well,
(04:46):
it is now night, said the rabbit gentleman, as he
hopped on through the woods. So I think I will
sit under this tree and wait for the moon to
come up. And while I'm waiting, i'll eat my supper.
So Uncle Wiggily ate his supper, which the kind farmer
lady had put up for him, And then he sat
(05:07):
and waited for the moon to rise. And pretty soon
he heard a funny noise calling like this. Oooh oooh
woo too too too. Oh. You know who I am?
All right, mister owl, said the rabbit. You can see
(05:30):
very well at night. You can see me. My goodness.
If it isn't Uncle Wiggily, cried the owl in surprise.
What are you doing out so late? I'd like to know,
waiting for a moonbeing so I can see if there
is any gold for my fortune. At the end of
it was the answer. Is the moon coming up over
(05:54):
the trees, mister owl? Use here it comes, said the owl.
And now I must fly off to the dark woods,
or I don't like the light, and he fluttered away.
Then the moon came up, all silver and glorious, shining
over the treetops like a shimmering ball. And soon the
(06:18):
moonbeams fell to the ground and slanting rays, but they
fell so softly like feathers, that they did not get
hurt at all. Well, I guess i'll follow that one,
said the old gentleman rabbit, as he picked out a nice, broad,
large shining moonbeam that must have gold at the end
(06:41):
of it. And if I find it, my fortune is made.
So off he started to follow the moonbeam to where
it came to an end. It seemed to go quite
a distance through the dark woods, and Uncle wiggily traveled
on for several hours, and he didn't see to be
any nearer the end by that time than he was
(07:03):
at first. My land, this is a very long moonbeam,
he exclaimed. It is almost big enough to make a
church steeple from. But I'll keep on for a little longer,
for I'm not a bit sleepy yet. Well, all of
a sudden, just as he was turning the corner around
(07:25):
a big stone, the rabbit gentleman heard a funny noise.
It wasn't like anyone crying, yet it sounded as if
someone was in trouble. For the voice said, Oh dear,
I'll never get it big enough. I know I can't.
I've combed it and rushed it and done it up
(07:46):
in curlers to make it fluffy, but it still isn't
like theirs. What shall I do? Hmm? I wonder who
that can be, thought Uncle, Perhaps it is some little
lost child, but no children would be out in the
woods at night. I'll take a look. So he hopped
(08:11):
softly over and peered around the edge of the stone.
And what do you think he saw? Why? There was
a nice little red squirrel girl, and she had a
comb and a bush and a little looking glass mirror,
(08:33):
and the glass was stuck up on a stump where
the moonbeam that Uncle Wiggily was following shone on it
and reflected back again. And by the light of the moonbeam,
the red squirrel was combing and brushing out her tail
as hard as she could comb and brush it. What
are you doing, asked Uncle Wiggily in surprise. Oh my,
(08:59):
how you started to me, exclaimed the red squirrel. But
I'm glad to see you, Uncle Wiggily. I'm going to
a surprise party soon, and I was just trying to
make my tail as big as Johnny or Billy bushytails.
But I can't do it, she said sadly no. And
(09:19):
you never can, said the rabbit. Their tails are a
different kind than yours, for they are gray squirrels and
you are a red one. But yours is very nice.
Be content to have yours as it is. I guess
I will, said the red squirrel. But what are you
(09:42):
doing out so late, uncle Wiggily, looking for the end
of a moonbeam to get my fortune. The moonbeam ends
right here, said the red squirrel girl, pointing to her
in looking glass her mirror. And surely enough there the
bright sh aft of flight ended. But there is no
(10:03):
fortune here, uncle Wiggily, I am sorry to say, she added,
I see there isn't, answered the rabbit. Well, I must
travel on again tomorrow then, But now I will see
that you get safely home, for it is getting late.
And just as he said that, what should happen but
(10:27):
that a big, savage, ugly bear stuck his nose out
of the bushes and made a grab for the rabbit.
But what do you think the red squirrel did. She
just took her hair bush and with the hard back
of it, she whacked the bear on the end of
his tender in her nose, and he howled and turned
(10:49):
around to run away, and the squirrel girl tickled him
with the comb and he ran faster than ever, and
the bear didn't eat Uncle Wiggily that night. Then the
rabbit stayed at the Red squirrels mama's house the rest
of the evening, and the next day the squirrel went
(11:11):
to the surprise party with her tail the regular size
it ought to be and not as big as the
bushytail brother's tales, and everybody was happy. And that's the
(11:31):
end of today's story. I'll be back again soon with
a new story. You can subscribe and listen to the
