In "Uncle Wiggily And The Violets," the rabbit gentleman Uncle Wiggily leaves his home to avoid laundry day and encounters woodland violets complaining about being small and useless. To show them they have value, he takes some adventurous violets for a walk, carefully preserving their roots. Their simple beauty and scent unexpectedly dissuade a menacing fox from harming Uncle Wiggily, demonstrating their positive impact. Upon returning home, Uncle Wiggily finds Nurse Jane needs bluing for her laundry, and he uses the violets' color to tint the rinse water, solving her problem. Finally, he replants the violets, who are now content and happy to be themselves, having learned that even small beings can bring beauty, change hearts, and be helpful in unexpected ways.
