the Wonderful Wizard of Oz page 2 by ric gustafson
Dorothy was awakened by a thud. In relief, she noticed that Toto was right next to her. Dorothy sat up. She noticed the house was not moving. She noticed bright sunshine coming in through her bedroom window. She got up. She ran toward the front door. She opened it.
The cyclone had dropped the house in the midst of marvelous beauty. There was green grass, beautiful fruit trees and flowers. As she was observing the beauty, an odd group of people quietly walked up to her. They were short in statue. Three of them walked up to Dorothy. The two men wore round hats and had beards. The female walked up to Dorothy.
" Welcome to the land of the Munchkins".
Dorothy looked around. " What are Munchkins?".
" We are grateful to you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East". The little old lady smiled. " You have set our people free".
" There must be some mistake". Dorothy frowned. " I have not killed anybody".
She pointed. " No but your house did".
Dorothy stared in horror. She saw two feet sticking out from underneath a corner of the house.
