 Hopping1 along under the bushes one day, near the edge of the forest nearest to where lived the real boys and girls, Uncle Wiggily Longears, the bunny rabbit gentleman, heard two boys talking together.
"We'll put a tick-tack2 on her window," said the First Boy.
"And she'll be scared stiff!" said the Second Boy. "Oh, what fun we'll have this Hallowe'en!"

And well Uncle Wiggily knew, for sometimes the boys and girls of Woodland, near the Orange Ice Mountains, where the bunny had built his hollow stump8 bungalow9, put one of the scary things on his window. That is, they were scary if you didn't know what they were, but Uncle Wiggily did.
Oftentimes Sammie Littletail, the rabbit, or Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrels, would take some string, a pin and an old nail, or little stone, and make a tick-tack. They fastened a short piece of string to the pin, and on the other end of the string they tied a
