Down toppled Uncle Wiggily's hat, not in the least hurt.
As they passed a high rock, out from behind it jumped the bad old tail-pulling monkey.
The tree barked and roared so like a lion that the foxes were frightened and were glad enough to run away.
Up, up and up into the air blew the kite and, as the string was tangled around the babboon's paws, it took him up with it.

I guess most of you know about the rabbit gentleman and his muskrat lady housekeeper who nursed him when he was ill with the rheumatism. Uncle Wiggily had lots and lots of adventures, about which I have told you in the books before this one.
He had traveled about seeking his fortune, he had even gone sailing in his airship, and once he met Mother Goose and all her friends from Old King Cole down to Little Jack Horner.
