Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy went to pay a little visit to Uncle Butter the goat gentleman at the farm. Uncle Wiggily put on old clothes, and so did the muskrat lady. "For I am going to gather the eggs," said Uncle Wiggily, hanging a basket on his paw, "and I may have to crawl under the barn to find them." Nurse Jane told the bunny uncle to be careful. "While you are gathering the eggs I'll do the churning," said Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. Uncle Butter was going to hoe the potatoes.

Uncle Wiggily walked around looking for eggs and, all of a sudden he saw a nest up in a tree. "Oh my!" exclaimed the bunny gentleman. "That hen has laid her eggs so high up I'll have to bring a ladder to get them down." So Uncle Wiggily hunted around until he found a ladder and then, saying nothing to Nurse Jane or Uncle Butter the goat, the bunny rabbit gentleman started to climb the tree to gather the eggs from the nest. Only he didn't know just what kind of a nest it was.

Uncle Wiggily climbed up the ladder to gather eggs, thinking he was helping Uncle Butter, when, all of a sudden a lot of black crows came flying through the air. "Caw! Caw! Caw!" cried the crows. "Please leave our eggs alone, Uncle Wiggily!" And they flew at the bunny gentleman so hard that he had to hold his paws over his ears to save his souse. "Oh, excuse me!" said the bunny to the crows. "I did not mean to take your eggs. I thought these were high hens' eggs."

Uncle Wiggily begged the pardon of the crows, for having mistaken their nest for one with hens' eggs in, and then, climbing down the ladder, Mr. Longears hopped along until he came to the barn. He saw a hen lady go under the barn. "Ah ha!" thought the rabbit uncle. "There must be eggs there! I'll crawl under and see." So Uncle Wiggily crawled under the barn, and when he was half way through the hole, along came Nurse Jane. "Mercy sakes, Wiggie! What are you doing?" asked the muskrat lady.

Uncle Wiggily crawled under the barn to get some eggs he thought might be there, but he found none. The hen lady had not laid any yet. Uncle Wiggily started to crawl out from under the barn floor, but it was not as easy as it was to crawl in. Uncle Wiggily was stuck. "Help! Help! Help!" cried the bunny gentleman in wild alarm. Uncle Butter, the goat, and Nurse Jane had to take up part of the barn floor before they could get Uncle Wiggily out. And still no eggs!
