"
Why
?
"
212
"
Ah
,
why
indeed
?
"
exclaimed
the
captain
,
looking
at
Button-Bright
admiringly
.
"
If
you
do
n't
ask
questions
you
will
learn
nothing
.
True
enough
.
I
was
wrong
.
You
're
a
very
clever
little
boy
,
come
to
think
of
it
--
very
clever
indeed
.
But
now
,
friends
,
please
come
with
me
,
for
it
is
my
duty
to
escort
you
at
once
to
the
royal
palace
.
"
213
The
soldiers
marched
back
through
the
arch
again
,
and
with
them
marched
the
shaggy
man
,
Dorothy
,
Toto
,
and
Button-Bright
.
Once
through
the
opening
they
found
a
fine
,
big
city
spread
out
before
them
,
all
the
houses
of
carved
marble
in
beautiful
colors
.
The
decorations
were
mostly
birds
and
other
fowl
,
such
as
peacocks
,
pheasants
,
turkeys
,
prairie-chickens
,
ducks
,
and
geese
.
Over
each
doorway
was
carved
a
head
representing
the
fox
who
lived
in
that
house
,
this
effect
being
quite
pretty
and
unusual
.

As
our
friends
marched
along
,
some
of
the
foxes
came
out
on
the
porches
and
balconies
to
get
a
view
of
the
strangers
.
These
foxes
were
all
handsomely
dressed
,
the
girl-foxes
and
women-foxes
wearing
gowns
of
feathers
woven
together
effectively
and
colored
in
bright
hues
which
Dorothy
thought
were
quite
artistic
and
decidedly
attractive
.
215
Button-Bright
stared
until
his
eyes
were
big
and
round
,
and
he
would
have
stumbled
and
fallen
more
than
once
had
not
the
shaggy
man
grasped
his
hand
tightly
.
They
were
all
interested
,
and
Toto
was
so
excited
he
wanted
to
bark
every
minute
and
to
chase
and
fight
every
fox
he
caught
sight
of
;
but
Dorothy
held
his
little
wiggling
body
fast
in
her
arms
and
commanded
him
to
be
good
and
behave
himself
.
216
So
he
finally
quieted
down
,
like
a
wise
doggy
,
deciding
there
were
too
many
foxes
in
Foxville
to
fight
at
one
time
.
217
By-and-by
they
came
to
a
big
square
,
and
in
the
center
of
the
square
stood
the
royal
palace
.
Dorothy
knew
it
at
once
because
it
had
over
its
great
door
the
carved
head
of
a
fox
just
like
the
one
she
had
seen
on
the
arch
,
and
this
fox
was
the
only
one
who
wore
a
golden
crown
.

There
were
many
fox-soldiers
guarding
the
door
,
but
they
bowed
to
the
captain
and
admitted
him
without
question
.
The
captain
led
them
through
many
rooms
,
where
richly
dressed
foxes
were
sitting
on
beautiful
chairs
or
sipping
tea
,
which
was
being
passed
around
by
fox-servants
in
white
aprons
.
They
came
to
a
big
doorway
covered
with
heavy
curtains
of
cloth
of
gold
.
219
Beside
this
doorway
stood
a
huge
drum
.
The
fox-captain
went
to
this
drum
and
knocked
his
knees
against
it
--
first
one
knee
and
then
the
other
--
so
that
the
drum
said
:
"
Boom-boom
.
"
220
"
You
must
all
do
exactly
what
I
do
,
"
ordered
the
captain
;
so
the
shaggy
man
pounded
the
drum
with
his
knees
,
and
so
did
Dorothy
and
so
did
Button-Bright
.
The
boy
wanted
to
keep
on
pounding
it
with
his
little
fat
knees
,
because
he
liked
the
sound
of
it
;
but
the
captain
stopped
him
.
Toto
could
n't
pound
the
drum
with
his
knees
and
he
did
n't
know
enough
to
wag
his
tail
against
it
,
so
Dorothy
pounded
the
drum
for
him
and
that
made
him
bark
,
and
when
the
little
dog
barked
the
fox-captain
scowled
.
