The Wonderful Wizard of Oz page 3 by ric gustafson
" Oh dear". Dorothy clasped her hands together. " The house must of fallen on her".
The woman shook her head. " Nothing can be done".
" Who was she?".
" The Wicked Witch of the East". She frowned. " She had been holding all the Munchkins in captivity for years".
Dorothy stared at the woman. " Who are the Munchkins?".
" The people who live in this land".
" Are you a Munchkin?".
" No". She smiled. " I am the Witch of the North".
" Are you a real witch?". Dorothy looked perplexed. " I've never seen a beautiful witch".
" Only bad witches are ugly".
A Munchkin shouted. He pointed to a corner of the house.
The Witch of the North smiled. " The old witch is no more but her shoes remain".
One of the Munchkins retrieved the silver shoes and brought them to Dorothy.
Dorothy took off her shoes and put on the silver shoes.
" They must have a magic charm otherwise why would the Wicked Witch want them so badly".
Dorothy frowned. " I just want to get back to Uncle Henry and Aunt Em".
" Maybe the Wizard of Oz could help you?".
" Where does he live?".
" The Emerald City". The witch pointed. " That's a long walk from here".
Dorothy looked around. " But how do I get there?".
" Just follow the Yellow Brick Road".
