 "Who wants to do something for me?" called Mamma Kinkytail to her two monkey boys as they came home from school one afternoon.
 
"I do!" chattered1 Jacko, the red chap.
 
"So do I," exclaimed Jumpo, the green chap.
 
"That's what I love to hear," said their mamma, real pleased like. "Well, now, I have two things I want done. Some one has to go to the store for a pound of butter, and the other one I would like to have take some jam tarts2 over to Uncle Wiggily Longears, the rabbit gentleman. He is not feeling so very well, and I thought the tarts would make him better."
 
"Oh, I'll go to Uncle Wiggily's," cried both boys at once.
 
The reason for this was that the old gentleman rabbit always gave his animal boy or girl visitors some chocolate peppermints3, or marshmallow candies, or something like that, and of course Jacko and Jumpo were always glad to go to his house. That's why they both spoke5 at once.
 
"Now, that's too bad!" exclaimed Mamma Kinkytail. "Only one of you can take the jam tarts over, because there won't be time, after you come back, to go to the store for the pound of butter. So I guess you will have to draw straws to see who goes to Uncle Wiggily's."
 
"Draw straws! What's that?" asked Jumpo, curious like.
 
"It's this way," his mamma explained. "I will hold two straws in my paw so that you can only see the tip ends of them. One straw will be short, and the other long. Then, Jumpo, you can draw one straw out of my paw, and Jacko can take the other. Of course, you can't see which is the long or which is the short one, and that will be perfectly6 fair, as the tip ends look just alike. Then, whoever pulls out the long straw can take the jam tarts to Uncle Wiggily."
 
Well, the monkey boys thought that would be nice, so they drew the straws, one after the other, and Jumpo got the long one.
 
"Oh, goody!" he cried. "I'm to go to Uncle Wiggily's."
