the Wonderful Wizard of Oz page 4

 the Wonderful Wizard of Oz page 4 by ric gustafson


" Come along Toto". Dorothy picked up a little basket that was filled with bread. " We will go to the Emerald City and ask the Great Oz to help us".
After walking several miles on the Yellow Brick Road, Dorothy and Toto had to stop to rest. She sat down on top of a fence. Across the Yellow Brick Road was a cornfield. In that cornfield was a Scarecrow.
The Scarecrow was high on a pole. It's head was a sack stuffed with straw. It's eyes, nose and mouth were painted on it's face. A Munchkin hat was on it's head. The pole was stuck up it's back.
" Good Day".
Dorothy looked around. " Toto, I thought I heard somebody talking".
Toto ran over to the Scarecrow. It began barking at it.
" How do you do?".
Dorothy looked around again. " Who said that?".
Toto kept barking at the Scarecrow.
" Toto, Scarecrows can't talk".
" Sometimes Scarecrows do an awful lot of talking".
Dorothy noticed the Scarecrow was smiling at her. She ran up to him. " You did speak".
