A happy ending is assured when the Funny Thing discovers he loves jum-jills and is convinced that they will make his tail grow longer and his blue points grow more beautiful.
He entices it to eat "jum-jills," a concoction he makes up from seven nut cakes, five seed puddings, two cabbage salads, and fifteen little cheeses, all rolled into little balls.
A kindly old man named Bobo cannot stand by and allow the Funny Thing to steal dolls from children.
It tells the story of a curious dragon-like "aminal" that eats children\'s dolls.
