You know that when Uncle Wiggily Longears, the old rabbit gentleman, started out to seek his fortune, he had to travel many weary miles -- but before he could get too weary, he ran smack-dab into more surprising adventures than a farmer's boy has holes in his overalls.
First he set out at night -- and heard a weird noise from a tree. Whoo-whooo! My goodness, if it isn't Uncle Wiggily! cried the owl in surprise. What are you doing out so late, I'd like to know?
Waiting for a moonbeam, so I can see if there is any gold for my fortune at the end of it. That was the old rabbit's answer!
Uncle Wiggily has even more crazy notions . . . and before he knows it, he is deep into adventures with a red squirrel, a brown wren, and then a July bug!
