The
Nomes
were
used
to
making
tunnels
,
as
all
the
kingdom
in
which
they
lived
was
under
ground
;
so
they
made
rapid
progress
.
While
this
work
was
going
on
General
Guph
started
out
alone
to
visit
the
Chief
of
the
Whimsies
.
These
Whimsies
were
curious
people
who
lived
in
a
retired
country
of
their
own
.
They
had
large
,
strong
bodies
,
but
heads
so
small
that
they
were
no
bigger
than
door
-
knobs
.
Of
course
,
such
tiny
heads
could
not
contain
any
great
amount
of
brains
,
and
the
Whimsies
were
so
ashamed
of
their
personal
appearance
and
lack
of
commonsense
that
they
wore
big
heads
made
of
pasteboard
,
which
they
fastened
over
their
own
little
heads
.
On
these
pasteboard
heads
they
sewed
sheep
’
s
wool
for
hair
,
and
the
wool
was
colored
many
tints
-
-
pink
,
green
and
lavender
being
the
favorite
colors
.
The
faces
of
these
false
heads
were
painted
in
many
ridiculous
ways
,
according
to
the
whims
of
the
owners
,
and
these
big
,
burly
creatures
looked
so
whimsical
and
absurd
in
their
queer
masks
that
they
were
called
"
Whimsies
.
"
They
foolishly
imagined
that
no
one
would
suspect
the
little
heads
that
were
inside
the
imitation
ones
,
not
knowing
that
it
is
folly
to
try
to
appear
otherwise
than
as
nature
has
made
us
.
The
Chief
of
the
Whimsies
had
as
little
wisdom
as
the
others
,
and
had
been
chosen
chief
merely
because
none
among
them
was
any
wiser
or
more
capable
of
ruling
.
The
Whimsies
were
evil
spirits
and
could
not
be
killed
.
They
were
hated
and
feared
by
every
one
and
were
known
as
terrible
fighters
because
they
were
so
strong
and
muscular
and
had
not
sense
enough
to
know
when
they
were
defeated
.
General
Guph
thought
the
Whimsies
would
be
a
great
help
to
the
Nomes
in
the
conquest
of
Oz
,
for
under
his
leadership
they
could
be
induced
to
fight
as
long
so
they
could
stand
up
.
So
he
traveled
to
their
country
and
asked
to
see
the
Chief
,
who
lived
in
a
house
that
had
a
picture
of
his
grotesque
false
head
painted
over
the
doorway
.
The
Chief
’
s
false
head
had
blue
hair
,
a
turned
-
up
nose
,
and
a
mouth
that
stretched
half
across
the
face
.
Big
green
eyes
had
been
painted
upon
it
,
but
in
the
center
of
the
chin
were
two
small
holes
made
in
the
pasteboard
,
so
that
the
Chief
could
see
through
them
with
his
own
tiny
eyes
;
for
when
the
big
head
was
fastened
upon
his
shoulders
the
eyes
in
his
own
natural
head
were
on
a
level
with
the
false
chin
.
Said
General
Guph
to
the
Chief
of
the
Whimsies
:
"
We
Nomes
are
going
to
conquer
the
Land
of
Oz
and
capture
our
King
’
s
Magic
Belt
,
which
the
Oz
people
stole
from
him
.
Then
we
are
going
to
plunder
and
destroy
the
whole
country
.
And
we
want
the
Whimsies
to
help
us
.
"
"
Will
there
be
any
fighting
?
"
asked
the
Chief
.
"
Plenty
,
"
replied
Guph
.
