Santa

laughed

and

laid

his

finger

aside

of

his

nose

as

if

thinking

what

to

reply

.

He

leaned

over

and

whispered

something

in

the

Wizard

's

ear

,

at

which

the

Wizard

smiled

and

nodded

as

if

he

understood

.

Now

Santa

Claus

spied

Polychrome

,

and

trotted

over

to

where

she

stood

.

"

Seems

to

me

the

Rainbow

's

Daughter

is

farther

from

home

than

any

of

you

,

"

he

observed

,

looking

at

the

pretty

maiden

admiringly

.

"

I

'll

have

to

tell

your

father

where

you

are

,

Polly

,

and

send

him

to

get

you

.

Please

do

,

dear

Santa

Claus

,

"

implored

the

little

maid

,

beseechingly

.

"

But

just

now

we

must

all

have

a

jolly

good

time

at

Ozma

's

party

,

"

said

the

old

gentleman

,

turning

to

put

his

presents

on

the

table

with

the

others

already

there

.

"

It

is

n't

often

I

find

time

to

leave

my

castle

,

as

you

know

;

but

Ozma

invited

me

and

I

just

could

n't

help

coming

to

celebrate

the

happy

occasion

.

"

"

I

'm

so

glad

!

"

exclaimed

Dorothy

.

"

These

are

my

Ryls

,

"

pointing

to

the

little

sprites

squatting

around

him

.

"

Their

business

is

to

paint

the

colors

of

the

flowers

when

they

bud

and

bloom

;

but

I

brought

the

merry

fellows

along

to

see

Oz

,

and

they

've

left

their

paint-pots

behind

them

.

Also

I

brought

these

crooked

Knooks

,

whom

I

love

.

My

dears

,

the

Knooks

are

much

nicer

than

they

look

,

for

their

duty

is

to

water

and

care

for

the

young

trees

of

the

forest

,

and

they

do

their

work

faithfully

and

well

.

It

's

hard

work

,

though

,

and

it

makes

my

Knooks

crooked

and

gnarled

,

like

the

trees

themselves

;

but

their

hearts

are

big

and

kind

,

as

are

the

hearts

of

all

who

do

good

in

our

beautiful

world

.

"

"

I

've

read

of

the

Ryls

and

Knooks

,

"

said

Dorothy

,

looking

upon

these

little

workers

with

interest

.

Santa

Claus

turned

to

talk

with

the

Scarecrow

and

the

Tin

Woodman

,

and

he

also

said

a

kind

word

to

the

shaggy

man

,

and

afterward

went

away

to

ride

the

Saw-Horse

around

the

Emerald

City

.

"

For

,

"

said

he

,

"

I

must

see

all

the

grand

sights

while

I

am

here

and

have

the

chance

,

and

Ozma

has

promised

to

let

me

ride

the

Saw-Horse

because

I

'm

getting

fat

and

short

of

breath

.
