and, though he tried in many other places, and even in a moving picture
show, Uncle Wiggily could buy no slippers for Baby Bunty.
“Oh, dear! What shall I do?” thought Mr. Longears. “Baby Bunty will be
so disappointed! She can’t go to the party without slippers! Oh, dear!
What shall I do?”
“Ha! Perhaps I can help you, Uncle Wiggily,” said a buzzing voice. “I am
the bumble bee to whom you were so kind. I know where there are a lot of
lady slippers, and——”
“Oh, but Baby Bunty is too small to wear a lady’s slipper,” said the
rabbit. “But where are those of which you speak?”
“Right over here,” buzzed the bee, and he flew over to where there was a
large bed of the flowers called “Lady’s Slippers.” He perched upon a
pink blossom and said: “Here are some very small flowers, Uncle Wiggily,
I’m sure they would do for Baby Bunty.”
“And if they are too large I can make them smaller,” said another voice.
“I am the toad lady whom you helped,” the voice went on, “and I can take
a tuck in the flower slippers with some toad-flax, sewing them up, and
making them just fit Baby Bunty.”
“Oh, I wish you would,” said Uncle Wiggily.
So he picked two of the smallest lady slipper flowers which the bee
pointed out, the toad lady made them smaller, and Baby Bunty wore them
to Alice Wibblewobble’s party. And all the animal girls said:
“Oh, aren’t Baby Bunty’s slippers cute!”
So everything came out all right.
