This dog was very fond of playing— he would chase a hall to the end of the world. One day he ran after a tennis ball, which jumped over the net and rolled toward Uncle Wig-gily's bungalow. Amby was so excited that he bumped into the rabbit, upset him and broke his rheumatism crutch. But he didn't mean to. 2. "My goodness!" grunted Uncle Wiggily as he fell down when Amby jumped on him. "Now look what you've done—broken my rheumatism crutch, and I have no money to buy a mw one." ktnby whined and said he was sorry. "I know what we can do, he said. "Buy me a suit of clothes and I'll travel with you and do tricks. I'll get some money and buy you a new crutch." So off they started. Pictured ¦§¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦I 3. Pretty soon they saw Mrs. Twistytail, the lady pig. "I will do my ball-juggling trick for, her," whispered Amby to Uncle Wiggily. "When she sees how clever 1 am, she will give me a lot of money and Til buy you a new crutch." The rabbit twinkled his pink nose and Amby began to toss the balls. But Amby stumbled and fell, knocking Mrs. Twistytail head over heels. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" barked Amby. 4. After Amby had picked up the balls, and Uncle Wiggily had helped the pig lady to get up, the rabbit and dog gentleman went to the woods. "1 know I can do clever tricks if they give me time!" whined Amby. "Just look at this, Uncle Wiggijyr and he balancd the bunny's hat on his nose. "Yes, you do it all right when you're practicing," said the rabbit. "But when you do it for money things go wrong." 5 "If you could let me have another suit, Uncle Wiesilv " barked Amby, "1 could do the trick better." So the bunny gavl the old doe another suit and Amby, seeing Baby Bunty and Jollie and Jillie the mice children, whispered: "I'll balance the hat for them They'll Viva me money and I'll buy you a new crutch." But poor Amby stumbled and tell in the mud, losing the hat and spattering the children 6. "Oh, Amby! Amby! This is too bad!'' cried Uncle Wiggily as he wiped the mud from Baby Buntv, Jollie and Jillie. "it surely is!" growled the old dog. "But get me a clean suit of clothes and I'll try a new trick." Off in the woods Amby found a wild grape vine growing between two stumps. "Watch me* walk the tight rope like a circus dog!" he barked. "Don't fall! This is a good trick!" crjed the rabbit. ~^M~~^~1^nrr 7 "Now we shall surely make some money and I'll buy you a new rheumatism crutch," said Amby, as they started out to seek" their fortune. Amby had on a new suit. "Oh, there's a tine tight rope for me to walk '"suddenly barked the jolly dog. "No! No! Come back! Don't walk that!" begged the bunny Amby jumped on Aunt Lettie's clothes line. "I'll circus you!" bleated the goat lady. "Baa-a-a!" yi9 j^ct U L 8. Uncle Wiggily had to promise Aunt Lettie fifty cents because Amby broke her clothes line, before the goat lady would stop bleating. "Now come on, Amby," said the rabbit. "All your tricks go wrong! You'll never gci enough money to buy me a crutch." Amby pleaded for one more chance. "I'm clever at catching balls!" he whined. So off in the woods the bunny threw Amby a ball. The Bob Cat was there. ¦W^'^W 9. All of a sudden, just as Amby was going to do his best trick of catching the ball, Baby Bunty cried: "Look out for the Bob Cat, Uncle Wiggily!" Amby leaped about and, setting his teeth in the Bob Cat's pants, the brave dog pulled, shook and growled. "Oh, let me get away from here!" howled the Bob Cat. "Gurr! "Gurr!" laughed Amby. And while the rabbit danced with Bunty the mice children played ball.
