Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi is Stefana over the Classic Children's Story Podcast, and
we're back with the next chapter of Uncle Wiggily's travels.
This time the story is about Uncle Wiggily and the
yellow bird. Once upon a time, when Johnny Bushytail was
(00:21):
going along the road to school, he met a fox. Oh,
just listen to me. This story isn't about the squirrel
boy at all. It's about Uncle Wiggily longears to be sure,
and the yellow bird. So I must begin all over again.
(00:42):
The day after the old gentleman Rabbit had helped Missus
Wren feed her little birdies, he found himself traveling along
a lonely road through a big forest of tall trees. Oh,
it was a very lonesome place, and not even an
automobile was to be seen, and there wasn't the smell
(01:04):
of gasoline, and no hope to wigg in the baby
from her sleep. Hm. I don't believe I'll find any
fortune alone here, thought Uncle Wiggily as he tramped on.
I haven't even met so much as a red ant,
or even a black one or a grosshopper. I wonder
(01:28):
if I can be lost. So he looked all around
to see if he might be lost in the woods.
But you know how it is sometimes sometimes when you're
lost when you least expected, and again you think you're lost,
but you're right near home all the while. That's the
(01:50):
way it was with Uncle Wiggily. He didn't know whether
or not he was lost, so he thought he'd sit
down on a flat stone and eat his lunch. The
reason he sat on a flat stone instead of a
round one was because he had some hard boiled eggs
for his lunch. And you know, if you put an
(02:12):
egg on a round stone is bound to roll off
and crack right in the middle. And I don't like
cruckt echs, said the rabbit, So he laid the eggs
he had on a flat stone and put little sticks
in front of them and behind them so they couldn't
(02:34):
even roll off the flat stone if they wanted to.
Then he ate his lunch. I guess it doesn't matter
if I am lost, said the traveling fortune hunting rabbit.
A little later, I'll go warning perhaps I may meet
with an adventure. So on he hopped, and pretty soon
(02:58):
he came to a place where the leaves and the
dirt were all torn up, as if some boys had
been playing a basketball game or leap frog or something
like that. Why I must look out that I don't
tumble down any holes here, thought Uncle Wiggily. For maybe
some batmen have been setting traps to catch us rabbits. Well,
(03:23):
he turned to one side to get out of the
way of some sharp thorns, and my goodness, if there
weren't more sharp thorns on the ground on the other
side of the path. Oooo. I guess I'll have to
keep straight ahead, thought Uncle Wiggily. I've never seen so
many thorns before in all my life. I'll have to
(03:46):
look out or I'll be stuck. So he kept straight on,
and all of a sudden he felt himself going down
into a big hole. Ooh oh, dear hold me, oh my,
cried Uncle Wiggily. I've fallen into a trap. That's what
(04:09):
those thorns were for. So so I would have to
walk towards the trap instead of going to one side.
But very luckily for Uncle Wiggily, his crutch happened to
catch across the hole, so he didn't go all the
(04:29):
way down, but hung on, but his case fell to
the bottom. However, he managed to pull himself up on
the ground, though his rheumatism hurt him a bit, and
soon he was safe once more. Oh my case with
all my clothes in it, he cried as he looked
(04:52):
down into the hole, which had been covered over with
loose leaves and dirt so he couldn't see it before
falling in. Wonder how I can get my things back again?
He went on. Then he looked up, and in a
tree not far from him, he saw something bright and yellow,
(05:15):
shining like gold. Oh, cried Uncle Wiggily, At last I
have found the pot of gold. Even if the rainbow
is a tear, that is yellow, and yellow is the
color of gold. No, my fortune is made. I will
get that gold and go back home. So, not worrying
(05:39):
any more about his case down the trap hole, Uncle
Wiggily hopped over to the tree to get what he
thought was a big bunch of yellow gold. But as
soon as he came closer he saw that the gold
was moving about and fluttering. Though I'm not going very
(06:00):
far away, that is queer gold, thought the old gentleman rabbit.
I never saw a moving gold before. I wonder if
it is a good kind. Then he went a little
closer and he heard a voice crying, why that is
(06:20):
crying gold too. He said, this is very strange. Then
he heard someone calling, Oh help, will someone please help me?
Why this is the most strange of all The rabbit cried,
it is talking gold. Perhaps there is a fairy about. Oh,
(06:44):
I only wish there was one, cried the yellow object
in the tree. If I saw a fairy, i'd ask
her to set me free. What's that? Who are you?
Asked the rabbit. Oh I'm a poor little yellow bird,
was the answer. And I'm caught up in a string
trap that some boys set in this tree. There is
(07:06):
a string around my legs, and I can't fly home
to see my little ones. I got into this trap
by mistake. Oh can't you help me? Climb up into
the tree, uncle Wiggily, and help me. Oh how did
you know my name was, Uncle Wiggily, asked the rabbit.
(07:27):
I could tell it by your ears, your wiggling ears,
was the answer. But please climb up and help me.
Rabbits can't climb trees, said Uncle Wiggily. But I will
tell you what i'll do. I'll knack the tree down
with my sharp teeth, for they are very sharp, even
(07:47):
though I am a little old. Then when it falls
I can reach the string, untie it and you will
be free. So Uncle Wiggily did this, and soon the
tree fell down, but the golden yellow bird was on
(08:08):
a top branch and didn't get hurt. Then the old
gentleman rabbit quickly untied the string and the bird was
out of the trap. I can't thank you enough, she
said to the rabbit. Is there anything I can do
for you to pay you? Well? My case is that
(08:32):
a hole, said Uncle Wiggily. But I don't see how
you can get it up. I need it, though, I
can fly down. Tie the string to these satchel your cats,
and you can pull it up, said the birdie, and
she did so, and the rabbit pulled up his case
(08:56):
as nicely as a bucket of water is hoisted up
from the well. Then some bad boys and a man
came along to see if there was anything in the
hole trap or the string trap they had made. But
when they saw the bird flying away and the rabbit
(09:17):
hopping away through the woods, they were very angry. But
Uncle Wiggily and the yellow bird was safe from arm
and the rabbit had another adventure soon after that, and
what it was I tell you soon when the story
(09:39):
will be about Uncle Wiggily and the sky rockets. It's
a real crackle. I'll be back very soon and we'll
go to the next story. And we've got more stories
still to come. We've still got our Land of Oz
(10:00):
another story coming alongside that one too, and we're going
to have some extra special stories for the supporters. Those
will be coming soon. So just stick around and have
some fun with the stories, sleep stories, bedtime stories, stories
(10:21):
for any time, and be sure to spread the word
to your family, to your friends, to everyone. And if
you like, you can visit our coffee page. You'll find
the website address in the show notes. Also, you'll find
the website address of our website in the show note
where we have some more stories in written form that
(10:43):
you can read yourselves. That's it for now, Stay well,
be good. I can't wait to be with you again.
I've missed you. Bye for now.
