22 Red Ronya R r Rather than stay around to reap what he has sown, Zettelwitz runs away from the
ragtag bunch of animals.
He heads rapidly in the direction of the local restaurant, for a dinner of roasted spare ribs and a glass of red wine.
He's looking forward to a richly-deserved rest after all that rigorous running around.
To his regret, his retreat doesn't go as planned. Red Ronya is barricading his escape route. She is a ravishing lady, round in all the right places, with red
hair and rosy cheeks. Zettelwitz has been in love with her for as long as he
can remember.
Ronya is a regular at the zoo. She likes to feed the birds. She heard the
racket and came running. In a rage, she sees the ravaged ruins.
"You rascally ruffian!" Ronya roars, and shakes him until his teeth rattle.
She reaches for the magic wand. Zettelwitz only just manages to hang on to it.
With a heavy heart and full of regret, he rasps the magic words:
A RUMPUS AND A RACKET! A RED FLASH!
Ronya remains on the spot in the form of an R !
"Poor Ronya", says Zettelwitz. "All the same, I now have twenty-two letters."

Transforming Ronya leaves me saddened
I really rather wish I hadn't.
Perhaps I should rethink my plan
and show that I'm a reformed man!
