"What's that?" Jolly Robin inquired.
"You must let me sing all I want to."
Jolly Robin looked at his companions. And seeing that they all nodded their heads, he asked Jasper if he would promise to sing his best.
Jasper Jay said promptly that he would. So Jolly told him that it was a bargain. "You shall come to our next meeting and make all the music you want to," he promised.
So that was the way Jasper Jay became a member of the Pleasant Valley Singing Society.
"When's your next meeting?" Jasper asked.
"To-night, just before sunset!" Jolly replied. "We'll gather in the maple grove, near the sugar-house. And we'll look for you."
"I'll be there without fail," Jasper Jay assured him.
