Are

you

willing

to

take

a

few

chances

and

risks

yourself

,

in

order

to

set

free

the

people

of

Ev

?

"

"

Yes

,

indeed

!

"

answered

Ozma

,

eagerly

"

Then

,

"

said

the

Nome

King

,

"

I

will

make

you

this

offer

:

You

shall

go

alone

and

unattended

into

my

palace

and

examine

carefully

all

that

the

rooms

contain

.

Then

you

shall

have

permission

to

touch

eleven

different

objects

,

pronouncing

at

the

time

the

word

’

Ev

,

’

and

if

any

one

of

them

,

or

more

than

one

,

proves

to

be

the

transformation

of

the

Queen

of

Ev

or

any

of

her

ten

children

,

then

they

will

instantly

be

restored

to

their

true

forms

and

may

leave

my

palace

and

my

kingdom

in

your

company

,

without

any

objection

whatever

.

It

is

possible

for

you

,

in

this

way

,

to

free

the

entire

eleven

;

but

if

you

do

not

guess

all

the

objects

correctly

,

and

some

of

the

slaves

remain

transformed

,

then

each

one

of

your

friends

and

followers

may

,

in

turn

,

enter

the

palace

and

have

the

same

privileges

I

grant

you

.

"

Oh

,

thank

you

!

thank

you

for

this

kind

offer

!

"

said

Ozma

,

eagerly

.

"

I

make

but

one

condition

,

"

added

the

Nome

King

,

his

eyes

twinkling

.

"

What

is

it

?

"

she

enquired

.

"

If

none

of

the

eleven

objects

you

touch

proves

to

be

the

transformation

of

any

of

the

royal

family

of

Ev

,

then

,

instead

of

freeing

them

,

you

will

yourself

become

enchanted

,

and

transformed

into

an

article

of

bric

-

a

-

brac

or

an

ornament

.

This

is

only

fair

and

just

,

and

is

the

risk

you

declared

you

were

willing

to

take

.

Hearing

this

condition

imposed

by

the

Nome

King

,

Ozma

became

silent

and

thoughtful

,

and

all

her

friends

looked

at

her

uneasily

.

"

Don

’

t

you

do

it

!

"

exclaimed

Dorothy

.

"

If

you

guess

wrong

,

you

will

be

enslaved

yourself

.

"

"

But

I

shall

have

eleven

guesses

,

"

answered

Ozma

.

"

Surely

I

ought

to

guess

one

object

in

eleven

correctly

;

and

,

if

I

do

,

I

shall

rescue

one

of

the

royal

family

and

be

safe

myself

.

Then

the

rest

of

you

may

attempt

it

,

and

soon

we

shall

free

all

those

who

are

enslaved

.
