The Tale of Tommy Fox Part 8

Jasper Jay really is a good sort of a fellow even though he does make a dreadful racket when he is around; but that is his way of talking.

He just likes to tease for the fun of teasing and so naturally he gets into lots of sc.r.a.ps and seems bound to get into more. Of course, lots of folks in Pleasant Valley don't like him because he plays tricks and pranks on them and makes them feel all ruffled up. Why, he even thinks he can spoil the Singing Society, but do you know, the Society fools Jasper himself. And that time Jimmy Rabbit teaches Jasper Jay some manners down by the cedar tree--the poor jay stays there until his feet are frozen in the water before he finds out--well--you may discover for yourself what happens next.
