Uncle Wiggily and the Pirates; Or, How the Enemy Craft of Pirate Fox was Sunk

In a sunny corner of the meadow, the mischievous pig brothers Curly and Floppy decide to turn a quiet duck‑pond into a high‑seas adventure. With wooden swords in hand and a rickety raft, they set off as self‑styled pirates, intent on capturing the kindly Uncle Wiggily for a sweet ransom of lollypops. The gentle rabbit, ever good‑natured, humors their game even as they tie him to the mast and demand his sugary payment. Their playful ploy quickly attracts the attention of two sly neighbours, a fox and a wolf, who see an opportunity to upstage the piglets.

The fox and wolf slip into pirate disguises, seize Uncle Wiggily while the pig brothers are distracted, and sail off with him on the stolen raft. Realising the trickery, Curly and Floppy improvise a makeshift cannon—using a stovepipe, talc, and an arsenal of cabbage, turnip and carrot “shots.” With determination and a dash of garden‑yard ingenuity, they give chase, hoping to out‑wit the impostors and bring their friend safely back to shore.
