There once lived in the woods an old rabbit gentleman named Uncle Wiggily Longears, and in the hollow-stump bungalow where he had his home there also lived Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, a muskrat lady housekeeper.

STORY XXX UNCLE WIGGILY GOES BERRYING "Well, this is a beautiful day," said Kittie Kat, as she and Uncle Wiggily walked along through the woods one morning. "Yes, this weather is very nice," agreed the old gentleman rabbit. "I ought to find my fortune to-day. I have been traveling after it a long time, and I am getting quite tired." Kittie Kat looked at him, and she was sorry to see that Uncle Wiggily appeared quite old.

"Poor old rabbit," thought the pussy girl. "I hope that he finds his fortune soon, or it will not be of much use to him. I must look as hard as I can." So, as they went along Kittie Kat looked under all the stones and behind the bushes and down in hollow stumps. And once, when she lifted up a stone with her claws, she saw something glittering under it. "Oh, here is a diamond! " she cried, but it was only a piece of glass. And, a little later Uncle Wiggily saw something shining under a big log. He cried out: "Oh, joy! I have found some gold." But it was only a shining piece of tin.

So Uncle Wiggily looked carefully on the ground all about the little house, and then he said: "No, Kittie Kat, a fox or a wolf can't live in here, or I could...
