Uncle Wiggily made Lulu the cutest hat out of fern leaves. Oh, I wish
you could have seen it. There wasn't one like it even in the five and
ten-cent store.
"Wear that to Nannie's party, Lulu," said the rabbit gentleman, and
Lulu did, the hat being fastened to her feathers with a long pin made
from the stem of a fern. And when Lulu reached the party all the
animal girls cried out:
"Oh, what a sweet, lovely, cute, dear, cunning, swell and stylish hat!
Where did you get it?"
"Uncle Wiggily made it," answered Lulu, and all the girls said they
were going to get one just like it. And they did, so that fern hats
became very fashionable and stylish in Woodland, and Lulu had a fine
time at the party.
So this teaches us that even a mud puddle is of some use, and if the
rubber plant doesn't stretch too far, and tickle the gold fish under
the chin making it sneeze, the next story will be about Uncle Wiggily
and the snow drops.

"Ha! Come with you? Who is it wants me to come with them?" asked the
bunny gentleman. "I hope it isn't the bad fox, or the skillery-scalery
alligator with humps on his tail that is calling.
