Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hi, this is Stefanio. Welcome to the classic children's story
podcast Stories for Bedlund, Layton, any tongue to keep your
little ones entertained and happiness. We bring an international collection
of stories, stories that teach stories to entertain and more.
(00:24):
And now our story, Uncle Wiggily and the Sunfish. Uncle
Wiggily slept that night, I mean the night after he
helped missus Wren build her nest. He slept in an
old underground house that another rabbit must have made some
time before. It was nicely lined with leaves, and the
(00:46):
fortune hunting bunny slept very nice and warm there. When
the sun was up, shining very brightly and most beautifully,
Uncle Wiggily arose his ears to get the dust out
of them, and threw the dried leaf blankets off him.
(01:06):
Oh huh, I must be up and going, he cried,
Perhaps I shall find my fortune today. Well, no sooner
had he crawled out of the burrow than he heard
a most beautiful song. It was when missus Wren was singing.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And it went tra la la tra la la tom
tee tee tom tom tee tee, too pretty for anything.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And then afterwards there was a sort of an echo
like chee cheek, chee cheek. Why you must be very
happy this morning, missus Wren called Uncle Wiggily to her,
as she sat in her new nest, which the rabbit
had made for her, on the mussy stump. I am,
(01:56):
she answered, very happy. What do you think think happened
in the night. I can't guess, he answered, A burglar
crow didn't come and steal your eggs? I hope. Oh,
nothing sad or bad like that, she answered, but something
(02:19):
very nice. Just hop up here and look. So Uncle
Wiggily hopped up on the stump, and missus Wren got
off her nest, and there on the bottom, in among
some eggshells, were a lot of tiny, weeny little berties,
(02:42):
about as big as a spool of thread, or even smaller.
Why where in the world did they come from? Asked
the old gentleman rabbit, rubbing his eyes out of the
eggs to be sure, answered, is Wren, And I do
declare the last of my family is hatched. Now there
(03:08):
is a little Wiggily out of the shell. At last.
I think I'll name him after you, as he never
could keep still while he was being hatched. Now I
must take out all of the broken shells so the
birdies won't cut themselves on them, and she began to
throw them out with her bill, just as a mother
(03:30):
hand does. And then one of the new little birdies
called out, jeep, cheep, cheep cheep. Yes, I know you're hungry,
answered their mama, who understood their bird talk. Well, I'll
fly away and get you something to eat, just as
soon as your papa comes home to stay in the house.
(03:55):
You know, mister wren went away last night to see
about getting a new position in a fet pillow factory,
said Missus Wrenn to Uncle Wiggily, and he doesn't yet
know about birdies. I hope you'll come back soon, as
they are very hungry, and I don't like to leave
them alone to go shopping. Ooh, all, stay and take
(04:19):
care of them for you while you go to the store,
said the old gentleman Rabbit. Kindly, that will do very well,
said missus Wrenn. So she put on her bonnet and
shawl and took her market basket, and off she flew
to the store, while Uncle Wiggily stayed with the new birdies,
(04:41):
and they snuggled down under his warm fur and were
as cozy asend their mother's own feathers. Well, missus Wren
was gone some time, as the store was crowded and
she couldn't get waited on right away, and Uncle Wiggily
stayed with the birdies. And then they got hungrier and hungrier,
(05:06):
and they cried real hard. Yes, indeed, it's hard of
some babies. Hm. I don't know what to do, said
the old gentleman rabbit. I can't feed them. I guess
I'll sing to them. So he sang this song. Hush, booties, hush,
(05:28):
please don't cry. Mama will be back, bye and bye.
Nestled down close under my fur. I'm not your mother,
but I'm helping her. But this didn't seem to satisfy
the birdies, and they cried cheap, cheap, harder than ever. Oh, dear,
(05:51):
I believe I must get them something to eat, said
Uncle Wiggily. So he covered them up all warmly with
the feathers that lined the nest, and then he hopped
down and went limping around on his crutch to find
them something to eat. Pretty soon he came to a
(06:13):
little brook, and as he looked down into it, he
saw something shining all gold and red and green and
blue and yellow? Why I do declare if here isn't
the end of the rainbow, exclaimed the old gentleman rabbit.
(06:34):
As he saw all the pretty colors. He rubbed his
eyes with his paw to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
But the colors were surely enough there down under the water.
No wonder the giant couldn't find the pot of gold.
It was down in the water, spoke the rabbit. But
(06:55):
I'll get it, and then my fortune will be made. Oh,
how glad I am well. Uncle Wiggily reached his pot
down and made a grab for the red and green
and gold and yellow thing. But to a surprise, instead
of lifting up a pot of gold, he lifted up
(07:18):
u squirming, wiggling sunfish. Oh my, exclaimed the rabbit in surprise.
I should say yes too old byes and another one
gasped the fish. Oh, please put me back in the
water again. The air out on land is too strong
for me. I can't breathe. Please, Uncle Wiggily put me back.
(07:45):
I thought you were a part of gold, said the rabbit, sadly.
I'm always getting fooled. But never mind, I'll put you
in the water. What are you doing here, asked the fish,
as he slid into the water again and sneezed three times.
(08:06):
Just at present, I am taking care of missus Wren's
new little birdies, said the rabbit. She has gone to
the store for something for them to eat, but they
are so hungry they can't wait. Oh that is easily fixed,
said the sunfish. Since you were so kind to me,
(08:27):
I'll tell you what to do. Get them a few
little worms and some small flower seeds and feed them.
Then the birdies will go to sleep. So Uncle Wiggily
did this, and as soon as the birds had their
hungry little mouths filled sound to sleep, they went and
(08:52):
in a little while missus Wren came back from the
store with her basket filled, and mister Wren flew home
to say that he had a nice position in a
feather factory, and how he did admire his birdies. He
hugged and kissed them like anything. Then the two little
(09:12):
friends both thanked Uncle Wiggily for taking care of their children,
and the rabbits said goodbye and hopped on again to
seek his fortune. And that's the end of today's story.
I'll be back again soon with a new story. You
