Transcript

Ah, ah, 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... ... Jonathan Thomas, who has just turned six, got himself in a terrible fix.

He went to bed at half past eight, which isn't early, nor is it late. And he went to sleep with his teddy bear, Guzz. He never could sleep without Guzz, because... Well, then when the chime on the clock struck nine, and hooded with seam he had begun to dream, A beam from the moon came into his room, and two funny people, named Ezra and Jeeple, slid

down, and started to frown at Jonathan Thomas and Gus. Well, then Gus woke up and chased him up, as any teddy bear should do, and then Jonathan Thomas he woke up too, because he heard the fires that was made by Gus.

And he joined the chase to the funniest place since the world began, and pretty soon he met a man who turned out to be as he could plainly see the man in the moon. And pretty soon when he was in his room there was the awfulest noise.

Even worse than boys can make with their toys. And he got more scared than he dared or cared to let on, because Gus was gone. And he sighed and nearly cried, and if he had it wouldn't have been bad.

And you know because the Swibobblems had kidnapped Santa Claus. Mr. and Mr. Man in the moon. Oh, for goodness sakes! Stop calling me Mr. Man in the moon! Oh, but I thought that was your name.
