I
suppose
you
have
read
so
much
about
the
magnificent
Emerald
City
that
there
is
little
need
for
me
to
describe
it
here
.
It
is
the
Capital
City
of
the
Land
of
Oz
,
which
is
justly
considered
the
most
attractive
and
delightful
fairyland
in
all
the
world
.
The
Emerald
City
is
built
all
of
beautiful
marbles
in
which
are
set
a
profusion
of
emeralds
,
every
one
exquisitely
cut
and
of
very
great
size
.
There
are
other
jewels
used
in
the
decorations
inside
the
houses
and
palaces
,
such
as
rubies
,
diamonds
,
sapphires
,
amethysts
and
turquoises
.
But
in
the
streets
and
upon
the
outside
of
the
buildings
only
emeralds
appear
,
from
which
circumstance
the
place
is
named
the
Emerald
City
of
Oz
.
It
has
nine
thousand
,
six
hundred
and
fifty
-
four
buildings
,
in
which
lived
fifty
-
seven
thousand
three
hundred
and
eighteen
people
,
up
to
the
time
my
story
opens
.
All
the
surrounding
country
,
extending
to
the
borders
of
the
desert
which
enclosed
it
upon
every
side
,
was
full
of
pretty
and
comfortable
farmhouses
,
in
which
resided
those
inhabitants
of
Oz
who
preferred
country
to
city
life
.
Altogether
there
were
more
than
half
a
million
people
in
the
Land
of
Oz
-
-
although
some
of
them
,
as
you
will
soon
learn
,
were
not
made
of
flesh
and
blood
as
we
are
-
-
and
every
inhabitant
of
that
favored
country
was
happy
and
prosperous
.
No
disease
of
any
sort
was
ever
known
among
the
Ozites
,
and
so
no
one
ever
died
unless
he
met
with
an
accident
that
prevented
him
from
living
.
This
happened
very
seldom
,
indeed
.
There
were
no
poor
people
in
the
Land
of
Oz
,
because
there
was
no
such
thing
as
money
,
and
all
property
of
every
sort
belonged
to
the
Ruler
.
The
people
were
her
children
,
and
she
cared
for
them
.
Each
person
was
given
freely
by
his
neighbors
whatever
he
required
for
his
use
,
which
is
as
much
as
any
one
may
reasonably
desire
.
Some
tilled
the
lands
and
raised
great
crops
of
grain
,
which
was
divided
equally
among
the
entire
population
,
so
that
all
had
enough
.
There
were
many
tailors
and
dressmakers
and
shoemakers
and
the
like
,
who
made
things
that
any
who
desired
them
might
wear
.
Likewise
there
were
jewelers
who
made
ornaments
for
the
person
,
which
pleased
and
beautified
the
people
,
and
these
ornaments
also
were
free
to
those
who
asked
for
them
.
Each
man
and
woman
,
no
matter
what
he
or
she
produced
for
the
good
of
the
community
,
was
supplied
by
the
neighbors
with
food
and
clothing
and
a
house
and
furniture
and
ornaments
and
games
.
If
by
chance
the
supply
ever
ran
short
,
more
was
taken
from
the
great
storehouses
of
the
Ruler
,
which
were
afterward
filled
up
again
when
there
was
more
of
any
article
than
the
people
needed
.
Every
one
worked
half
the
time
and
played
half
the
time
,
and
the
people
enjoyed
the
work
as
much
as
they
did
the
play
,
because
it
is
good
to
be
occupied
and
to
have
something
to
do
.
There
were
no
cruel
overseers
set
to
watch
them
,
and
no
one
to
rebuke
them
or
to
find
fault
with
them
.
So
each
one
was
proud
to
do
all
he
could
for
his
friends
and
neighbors
,
and
was
glad
when
they
would
accept
the
things
he
produced
.
You
will
know
by
what
I
have
here
told
you
,
that
the
Land
of
Oz
was
a
remarkable
country
.
I
do
not
suppose
such
an
arrangement
would
be
practical
with
us
,
but
Dorothy
assures
me
that
it
works
finely
with
the
Oz
people
.
Oz
being
a
fairy
country
,
the
people
were
,
of
course
,
fairy
people
;
but
that
does
not
mean
that
all
of
them
were
very
unlike
the
people
of
our
own
world
.
There
were
all
sorts
of
queer
characters
among
them
,
but
not
a
single
one
who
was
evil
,
or
who
possessed
a
selfish
or
violent
nature
.
They
were
peaceful
,
kind
hearted
,
loving
and
merry
,
and
every
inhabitant
adored
the
beautiful
girl
who
ruled
them
and
delighted
to
obey
her
every
command
.
In
spite
of
all
I
have
said
in
a
general
way
,
there
were
some
parts
of
the
Land
of
Oz
not
quite
so
pleasant
as
the
farming
country
and
the
Emerald
City
which
was
its
center
.
Far
away
in
the
South
Country
there
lived
in
the
mountains
a
band
of
strange
people
called
Hammer
-
Heads
,
because
they
had
no
arms
and
used
their
flat
heads
to
pound
any
one
who
came
near
them
.
Their
necks
were
like
rubber
,
so
that
they
could
shoot
out
their
heads
to
quite
a
distance
,
and
afterward
draw
them
back
again
to
their
shoulders
.
The
Hammer
-
Heads
were
called
the
"
Wild
People
,
"
but
never
harmed
any
but
those
who
disturbed
them
in
the
mountains
where
they
lived
.
