What

a

dusty

place

!

"

he

cried

.

"

I

’

ll

be

glad

when

we

reach

Oz

,

where

we

can

get

a

drink

.

"

"

Who

has

any

water

?

"

asked

the

Whimsie

Chief

,

gasping

and

choking

.

But

none

of

his

followers

carried

a

drop

of

water

,

so

he

hastened

on

to

get

through

the

dusty

tunnel

to

the

Land

of

Oz

.

"

Where

did

all

this

dust

come

from

?

"

demanded

General

Guph

,

trying

hard

to

swallow

but

finding

his

throat

so

dry

he

couldn

"

I

don

’

t

know

,

"

answered

the

Nome

King

.

"

I

’

ve

been

in

the

tunnel

every

day

while

it

was

being

built

,

but

I

never

noticed

any

dust

before

.

"

"

Let

’

s

hurry

!

"

cried

the

General

.

"

I

’

d

give

half

the

gold

in

Oz

for

a

drink

of

water

.

"

The

dust

grew

thicker

and

thicker

,

and

the

throats

and

eyes

and

noses

of

the

invaders

were

filled

with

it

.

But

not

one

halted

or

turned

back

.

They

hurried

forward

more

fierce

and

vengeful

than

ever

.

The

Scarecrow

had

no

need

to

sleep

;

neither

had

the

Tin

Woodman

or

Tiktok

or

Jack

Pumpkinhead

.

So

they

all

wandered

out

into

the

palace

grounds

and

stood

beside

the

sparkling

water

of

the

Forbidden

Fountain

until

daybreak

.

During

this

time

they

indulged

in

occasional

conversation

.

Nothing

could

make

me

forget

what

I

know

,

"

remarked

the

Scarecrow

,

gazing

into

the

fountain

,

"

for

I

cannot

drink

the

Water

of

Oblivion

or

water

of

any

kind

.

And

I

am

glad

that

this

is

so

,

for

I

consider

my

wisdom

unexcelled

.

"

"

You

are

ly

wise

agreed

Tiktok

.

"

For

my

part

,

I

can

on

ly

think

by

ma

y

,

so

I

do

not

pre

-

tend

to

know

as

much

as

you

do

.

"

"

My

tin

brains

are

very

bright

,

but

that

is

all

I

claim

for

them

,

"

said

Nick

Chopper

,

modestly

.

"

Yet

I

do

not

aspire

to

being

very

wise

,

for

I

have

noticed

that

the

happiest

people

are

those

who

do

not

let

their

brains

oppress

them

.
