Very vexed, the king and Norbert have been watching Zettelwitz' trick with the cloud.
"I don't know where this villainous wizard can have vanished to!" Kalinko shouts.
"It's vital that he doesn't magic the whole zoo!"

"Zettelwitz, don't be a shrinking violet! Come out!"
"We won't visit any vengeance on you", vows the king. "What do you say?"
But our vain wizard simply won't stop while there's a vacant space in his alphabet.
He thinks victory is virtually in his grasp, even though he only has 15 letters so far.
"You won't vanquish me", he says.
"Can you see that vulture hovering in front of a cloud? Doesn't she look like a V? I'll show you!"
