Transcription: “April Fool!” laughed Baby Bunty again. Uncle Wiggily said nothing but he sat down rather hard and ate his breakfast. And when Baby Bunty said “Oh, look out the window and see who’s coming!” Uncle Wiggily never looked up from his morning paper. But some one was coming along the path to the hollow stump bungalow. They were Curly and Floppy Twistytail, the piggie boys. Floppy had a little basket. “Do you want to look in this and see what there is?” asked Floppy, as he and his brother came in after carefully wiping their feet on the mat. “Well, I can pretty nearly guess what’s in the basket,” said the bunny gentleman. It’s some sneezing powder or a lot of dried leaves! You can’t April Fool me again.” “Oh, really, we wouldn’t do such a thing!” grunted Curly. “I’ll open the basket!” cried Baby Bunty. So she did, and inside was a lovely piece of cake that Mrs. Twistytail had sent to Uncle Wiggily. “April Fool!” grunted the piggie boys. “Well, this is a proper kind of April [Fool joke!”]
