"Hey ho, I've had a heavy hour or so!"
The heartless wizard is highly pleased with himself. He's hungry now and wants
to go home.
Does he really think that the animals will let him sling his hook without
hauling him back
to see the havoc his handiwork has caused?
"Halt!" howls Heiko the hairy hound.
"We'll keep on hassling you until you turn this heap back into a house!"
Zettelwitz is still hoping he can hurry away, but now all the animals are in
hot pursuit.
Hornets and honeybees are humming around his head and stinging. Hens are
pecking at his heels.
"You hooligan, we'll have the hide off you", howls a hyena, biting his behind.
The magician stumbles and drops his magic wand, and a horse puts his hoof on it.
All hot and with his hair in a mess, the wizard holds his hands up.
"Hold it, I surrender!"
"Then use your hocus-pocus to magic a handsome new house for the birds!"
Full of hope the animals hand him the wand.
The house is just a hollowed-out hulk, a sort of rusty skeleton. It looks like
an H!
A HORRIBLE HONKING AND HOOTING! A HARSH FLASH!
That horror of a wizard has turned the house into an H!
"Hurray, twenty-one letters!"

A hazardous and heavy quest
To make this hothead stop his jests!
It's with a heavy heart I say
Their hopes in him proved hollow today.
