 Ah ah ah, don't turn that dial. This is the right station if you want to hear about Jonathan Thomas and his Christmas on the Moon. Now I hope every little girl and boy will be very quiet so they may enjoy this wonderful story of Jonathan Thomas who made such a very important promise. Now of course you remember how it all came about, but if you shouldn't, I haven't a doubt it won't take long to remind you again. So this is the way the story began. You see the squibobblems broke all the laws and kidnapped poor old Santa Claus. And so it was up to the man on the moon and Jonathan Thomas to bring him back soon. So they climbed on the back of Gorgonzola the horse, heard it a long way to go, but then of course it was a dangerous road past the house of the toad and over a river so wide and past the dwarfs who were nice and who gave them some advice about the wicked old witch of Rumpelstich who came flying up on her broom. And she laughed and screamed in the awfulest way and said they were all headed for doom. And she cast a bad spell which worked very well in the enchanted forest of sleep but a good fairy queen was very soon seen when they said the word they had to say, a word they had heard from the dwarfs on the way, a magical word that went this way. And the good fairy queen gave them a charm to keep them quite safe from every alarm. But then whiskery Bill in the forest of sleep scared the horse till he couldn't stand still. Then what do you think? As quick as a wink, Jonathan Thomas fell off and went sound asleep and there was only one token by which the spell could be broken and that was the red, red rose. But it's winter and most everyone knows that the Brambley Briar can't grow a red rose. She could grow a white one but that's not red. And so to whiskery Bill she said, please go to the rainbow's end. You'll have to go but there's no one else to send. And so whiskery Bill went over the hill and then he met a walrus and they became very good friends. And well, here's where the story begins again. We shall think some lies. Do you think that we'll ever arrive? After all, we've traveled quite a way. Oh please, Sir Algie, what do you say? Well, blimey, there's lots of things that I could say but there's one thing that I'm sure I know and that is we haven't far to go. No? Right Al, but can't you see by the color of the air, the rainbow bridge is right over there. Well, if you're not right, this is a beautiful sight. It is blue. Now listen right careful and be as still as a mouse. The rainbow keeper lives in that little house. Well, and what shall we do? Well now that's up to you. It's you who wants the color red. Of course I do. That's what I told you. I don't want to be killed down dead. Well now that's no shame and I can give you no blame but here's what you've got to do. You go to the door as I've told you before and you knock and then say how do you do? Right Al. And then what happens to me? Well, I don't know. You'll have to go. Then of course you'll see but I can give you an hint. They say he's richer than a mint and one more thing to make you wiser. Yes. Ha ha, you'll never guess. It's rumored around that he's quite a miser. Oh. Right Al. Much for your advice and such and I guess I'd better start. It won't do to be delayed even though I am afraid. Now up with your chin and march right in and don't be quite so alarmed. For it might be a treat that chap to meet and you might even be a bit charmed. Oh. Right Al. And I'll wait for your ear and I'll lots of cheer and wish you the very best luck and call if you like your poor little tyke. That is if you happen to get stuck. Well, please keep your fingers crossed and hope and pray I won't be lost. We don't want any. We've already got some. Gracious me. What do you want? Whatever it is you can't have it. Well, at least you could do is to invite me in. Why? I'd like to know. Of course I am. And I'm a very busy man. So speak up quick or I'll use this stick on you. What do you want? Gracious sakes. Will you stop all these whores and hens? Out of your head. Why, you ought to be in bed. You're crazy enough. Goodness knows. Oh, not before the brambly. For such a small lad, you're simply quite mad. I won't give you a thing, but I'll make you sing if you don't get out of my sight. Why, the very thought that my rubies could be bought. Why, my dear little squirrel, you're not quite quite. This is the way to the door. First, go peddle your papers. I haven't time to worry, so there's the door, and here's your hat. And please, sir, watch your hurry. Hey, for me to stay, you said for me to go away. Hey, thank you. What'll we do for the colour of red? Now, wait a moment. I've got an idea. Must be wiser than that old miser. Look, there's the rainbow bridge, and I'll tell you what we'll do. We've got to have the red, and it's just entered my ear. We'll break off a piece or two. Come on here, Whiskery Bill. You can't get anywhere standing still. Look, you know, it's solid ruby. Enough for a king. Gee, Whizzle. Oh, but we haven't got a hammer or a chisel or anything. Have a tusk and an egg. So what I'll do is put my ivory tusk on the ruby, and then you hammer me on the egg. And then, like I said, we'll break off a piece or two. That's what we'll do. That's a good idea. Now then, be as quiet as a mouse so the miser won't come out of his house. Are we ready? Yes, but hold right steady. Now then, you can start into pound, but don't make too much of a sound. Go ahead. Start pounding on me, Ed. There's under the rainbow, please, chasing it. And so they finally got the rubies red from the rainbow. But will they be caught and put in jail maybe for a million years? Well, that old miser didn't have any right to refuse poor Whiskerry Bill to teensy-weensy rubies, because anyway, he doesn't own the rainbow bridge. Everybody does. Well, we mustn't forget to hear the next story of Jonathan Thomas so we can hear what happened to Sir Algie and Whiskerry Bill. I won't forget. Don't you?
