Hop in ! '' So Diller-a-Dollar , the late scholar , hopped in the auto , and he and Uncle Wiggily started off together . `` You 'll not be late this morning , '' said the bunny uncle . `` I 'll get you there just about nine o'clock . '' Well , Uncle Wiggily meant to do it , and he might have , only for what happened . First a hungry dog bit a piece out of one of the bologna sausage tires on the auto wheels , and they had to go slower . Then a hungry cat took another piece and they had to go still more slowly .
