12 Jojo the Jay
J j"Jubilation!" rejoices young John, drinking jasmine tea in the Jones's garden. Julia, the junior member of the family, is his jewel and his joy, and she's
just said yes,
she'll marry him in July! Just then, Julia sees the wizard. "Oh jiminee, my John's going to be magicked away!" Julia and John are not in jeopardy, however. Zettelwitz played his joke on them
last January,
and a person can only be jinxed once in a year. It's a matter of
justice. But the family does have something which our sorcerer is interested in; a pet
jay from Africa. Jojo the jay is jigging about on the shoulder of Julia's jacket and jabbering
in her ear. I'm afraid he jabbers and jeers all the time, from January to June and back
again to January. It would be a big relief for everyone if he gave it a rest occasionally. Doing someone a favour for once, Zettelwitz enchants the jay: Jambalaya, Jamboree! Jojo Jay, become a J! A JINGLING AND JANGLING! A JADE-GREEN FLASH!Jojo the jay jiggles and joggles. He is soon a silent J! "Jolly good, that makes twelve." 12 O
