Jesper challenges Victor to write and perform a song

Jesper’s task reads: “Perform a song about the Stormester.

Write it to the tune of I Know a Teacher.” The tune specified belongs to a very old song, often sung by children.

Jesper’s task is presented to Victor on the desk in the study, next to a bird’s nest with an ostrich egg and a taxidermy bird on top of it.

Victor does manage to both write and perform a verse in time, as he sings each line while composing it.

He incorrectly guesses that Lise wrote the task for him.
