Hush

,

Eureka

!

"

warned

the

Wizard

.

"

Don

’

t

be

foolish

,

"

advised

the

Tin

Woodman

,

"

or

you

may

be

sorry

for

it

.

"

"

The

piglet

that

belonged

to

the

Princess

wore

an

emerald

collar

,

"

said

Eureka

,

loudly

enough

for

all

to

hear

.

So

it

did

!

"

exclaimed

Ozma

.

"

This

cannot

be

the

one

the

Wizard

gave

me

.

"

"

Of

course

not

;

he

had

nine

of

them

,

altogether

,

"

declared

Eureka

;

"

and

I

must

say

it

was

very

stingy

of

him

not

to

let

me

eat

just

a

few

.

But

now

that

this

foolish

trial

is

ended

,

I

will

tell

you

what

really

became

of

your

pet

piglet

.

"

At

this

everyone

in

the

Throne

Room

suddenly

became

quiet

,

and

the

kitten

continued

,

in

a

calm

,

mocking

tone

of

voice

:

"

I

will

confess

that

I

intended

to

eat

the

little

pig

for

my

breakfast

;

so

I

crept

into

the

room

where

it

was

kept

while

the

Princess

was

dressing

and

hid

myself

under

a

chair

.

When

Ozma

went

away

she

closed

the

door

and

left

her

pet

on

the

table

.

At

once

I

jumped

up

and

told

the

piglet

not

to

make

a

fuss

,

for

he

would

be

inside

of

me

in

half

a

second

;

but

no

one

can

teach

one

of

these

creatures

to

be

reasonable

.

Instead

of

keeping

still

,

so

I

could

eat

him

comfortably

,

he

trembled

so

with

fear

that

he

fell

off

the

table

into

a

big

vase

that

was

standing

on

the

floor

.

The

vase

had

a

very

small

neck

,

and

spread

out

at

the

top

like

a

bowl

.

At

first

the

piglet

stuck

in

the

neck

of

the

vase

and

I

thought

I

should

get

him

,

after

all

,

but

he

wriggled

himself

through

and

fell

down

into

the

deep

bottom

part

—

and

I

suppose

he

’

s

there

yet

.

"

All

were

astonished

at

this

confession

,

and

Ozma

at

once

sent

an

officer

to

her

room

to

fetch

the

vase

.

When

he

returned

the

Princess

looked

down

the

narrow

neck

of

the

big

ornament

and

discovered

her

lost

piglet

,

just

as

Eureka

had

said

she

would

.

There

was

no

way

to

get

the

creature

out

without

breaking

the

vase

,

so

the

Tin

Woodman

smashed

it

with

his

axe

and

set

the

little

prisoner

free

.
