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, the man in the moon and Gorgon's all of the horse, started out to search about for the correct and proper course, for the road was long and they followed it wrong, till they came to a deep wide river

and there they stood as best they could, but most all they could do was to shiver Till Jonathan Thomas remembered the word which the dwarf had spoken, and they had heard, and very hard to say for it goes this way, on Squeenon Squeigigalee Vey.

And then, quick as a wink, before they could think, that came the noisiest sound, a rumbling, tumbling, bumbling bound that seemed to be all around, then a flash of fire, and a great big puff which made them all sneeze, for it to smoky stuff, and then there appeared a fairy queen, the most beautiful queen that was ever seen.

she calmed their alarms by giving them charms to ward off the evil witch, who brooded her brew as all witches do in the land of rumpo stitch, and she showed them the road which led over the hill to the nightmare forest, so dark and still, and she gave them an acorn to keep them awake, and then in just two lambs of a shake she was gone.

And so Jonathan Thomas and the travelers three, who were as brave as brave as brave could be, they traveled away. Well most of the day till they reached a place which made them stare and gave them a fright.
