Howard Roger Garis, The second adventures of Uncle Wiggily (1925)

“ After eating their lunch, the piggie boy and the goat chap set off with Uncle Wiggily to go through the woods. They wore their swords and pistols just like pirates. All of a sudden, Uncle Wiggily saw a hole under the side of a hill. “Ho for the pirate cave!” shouted the rabbit. “Halt!” grunted Floppy, drawing his sword. “Who is first going into that cave?” Billie bleated: “You go in, Floppy, as you are very brave!” This pleased the piggie boy, and into the cave he went. But soon he came rushing out again, dropping his pistol. “What’s the matter?” cried Uncle Wiggily. ”

“ When Uncle Wiggily, Nurse Jane and the others reached home, after the ice boat ride, the rabbit gentleman said: “We had lots of fun. But we shall have more jolly times when spring comes and the grass is green.” After many months, the warm sun melted the ice and snow, and the trees put forth their leaves. “Ting-a-ling-a-ling!” rang the telephone in Uncle Wiggily’s hollow stump bungalow one day. “Hello! Hello!” called Uncle Butter, the goat, at the other end of the wire. “Don’t you want to come with me to have a picnic in the woods, Uncle Wiggily?” ”

“ Twistytail, I am so sorry to have bumped into you!” cried Uncle Wiggily, as he hopped out of the wash tub ice boat. He helped the lady pig to her feet. “Are you hurt?” asked the bunny gentleman. “Oh, no, not much!” laughed Mrs. Twistytail. “It’s a good thing I am so fat! Being bumped doesn’t hurt me.” Nurse Jane invited the lady pig to have a ride in the ice boat. “Yes, please get in and I will give you a fine ride,” said Uncle Wiggily. ”

“ He went out to hang up his dripping coat and trousers. “We shall eat our lunch as soon as I set the trap to catch any bad animals who may come to spoil our picnic,” spoke Uncle Wiggily. But when he looked for the lunch basket—it was gone! “Oh, dear me!” cried the bunny rabbit. “I did not set the trap soon enough!” Uncle Butter bleated sadly, for he was hungry. “Never mind,” he said. “We can go in the tent and sleep and make believe we have eaten. Afterward we can get more picnic lunch from Nurse Jane.” While Uncle Wiggily and Uncle Butter were asleep, a big, black Bear shuffled along. ”

“ Uncle Butter, looking over the fence, said: “That’s too bad! But never mind. We can put a stick through the pumpkin, fasten a rope to the stick and roll the pumpkin home.” They started up hill, pulling the pumpkin. “This is hard work!” cried Uncle Wiggily. They were nearly at the top of the hill when something happened. All of a sudden the pumpkin broke loose.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PUMPKIN BROKE LOOSE.
Down the hill rolled the golden, yellow Thanksgiving vegetable. ”

“ He may be angry! We’d better run!” Away ran the piggie boys. Then Uncle Wiggily, opening his eyes wider, saw the funny Goblin Jack o’ Lantern pumpkin. He hardly knew what it was. “Quick, Uncle Butter!” cried the rabbit. “We must get away from the Goblin!” Off they ran, but they met the Alligator who chased them. “Let’s run back toward the Goblin!” whispered Mr. Longears. “Maybe it will scare the Alligator!” And it did, for the frightened Alligator jumped up and ran away.
THE FRIGHTENED ALLIGATOR JUMPED UP AND RAN AWAY.
“Aren’t you glad we made a Jack o’ Lantern out of the pumpkin?” ”

“ GROWLED THE BEAR.
After smelling at the trap the bear growled: “This isn’t anything good to eat! I will kick it out of my way and go inside the tent. There I may find some cake.” The bear kicked the trap, but, suddenly it snapped together, catching him fast. ”
