On
leaving
the
Growleywogs
General
Guph
had
to
recross
the
Ripple
Lands
,
and
he
did
not
find
it
a
pleasant
thing
to
do
.
Perhaps
having
his
whiskers
pulled
out
one
by
one
and
being
used
as
a
pin
-
cushion
for
the
innocent
amusement
of
a
good
natured
jailer
had
not
improved
the
quality
of
Guph
’
s
temper
,
for
the
old
Nome
raved
and
raged
at
the
recollection
of
the
wrongs
he
had
suffered
,
and
vowed
to
take
vengeance
upon
the
Growleywogs
after
he
had
used
them
for
his
purposes
and
Oz
had
been
conquered
.
He
went
on
in
this
furious
way
until
he
was
half
across
the
Ripple
Land
.
Then
he
became
seasick
,
and
the
rest
of
the
way
this
naughty
Nome
was
almost
as
miserable
as
he
deserved
to
be
.
But
when
he
reached
the
plains
again
and
the
ground
was
firm
under
his
feet
he
began
to
feel
better
,
and
instead
of
going
back
home
he
turned
directly
west
.
A
squirrel
,
perched
in
a
tree
,
saw
him
take
this
road
and
called
to
him
warningly
:
"
Look
out
!
"
But
he
paid
no
attention
.
An
eagle
paused
in
its
flight
through
the
air
to
look
at
him
wonderingly
and
say
:
"
Look
out
!
"
But
on
he
went
.
No
one
can
say
that
Guph
was
not
brave
,
for
he
had
determined
to
visit
those
dangerous
creatures
the
Phanfasms
,
who
resided
upon
the
very
top
of
the
dread
Mountain
of
Phantastico
.
The
Phanfasms
were
Erbs
,
and
so
dreaded
by
mortals
and
immortals
alike
that
no
one
had
been
near
their
mountain
home
for
several
thousand
years
.
Yet
General
Guph
hoped
to
induce
them
to
join
in
his
proposed
warfare
against
the
good
and
happy
Oz
people
.
Guph
knew
very
well
that
the
Phanfasms
would
be
almost
as
dangerous
to
the
Nomes
as
they
would
to
the
Ozites
,
but
he
thought
himself
so
clever
that
he
believed
he
could
manage
these
strange
creatures
and
make
them
obey
him
.
And
there
was
no
doubt
at
all
that
if
he
could
enlist
the
services
of
the
Phanfasms
,
their
tremendous
power
,
united
to
the
strength
of
the
Growleywogs
and
the
cunning
of
the
Whimsies
would
doom
the
Land
of
Oz
to
absolute
destruction
.
So
the
old
Nome
climbed
the
foothills
and
trudged
along
the
wild
mountain
paths
until
he
came
to
a
big
gully
that
encircled
the
Mountain
of
Phantastico
and
marked
the
boundary
line
of
the
dominion
of
the
Phanfasms
.
This
gully
was
about
a
third
of
the
way
up
the
mountain
,
and
it
was
filled
to
the
brim
with
red
-
hot
molten
lava
in
which
swam
fire
-
serpents
and
poisonous
salamanders
.
The
heat
from
this
mass
and
its
poisonous
smell
were
both
so
unbearable
that
even
birds
hesitated
to
fly
over
the
gully
,
but
circled
around
it
.
All
living
things
kept
away
from
the
mountain
.
Now
Guph
had
heard
,
during
his
long
lifetime
,
many
tales
of
these
dreaded
Phanfasms
;
so
he
had
heard
of
this
barrier
of
melted
lava
,
and
also
he
had
been
told
that
there
was
a
narrow
bridge
that
spanned
it
in
one
place
.
So
he
walked
along
the
edge
until
he
found
the
bridge
.
It
was
a
single
arch
of
gray
stone
,
and
lying
flat
upon
the
bridge
was
a
scarlet
alligator
,
seemingly
fast
asleep
.
When
Guph
stumbled
over
the
rocks
in
approaching
the
bridge
the
creature
opened
its
eyes
,
from
which
tiny
flames
shot
in
all
directions
,
and
after
looking
at
the
intruder
very
wickedly
the
scarlet
alligator
closed
its
eyelids
again
and
lay
still
.
Guph
saw
there
was
no
room
for
him
to
pass
the
alligator
on
the
narrow
bridge
,
so
he
called
out
to
it
:
"
Good
morning
,
friend
.
I
don
’
t
wish
to
hurry
you
,
but
please
tell
me
if
you
are
coming
down
,
or
going
up
?
"
"
Neither
,
"
snapped
the
alligator
,
clicking
its
cruel
jaws
together
.
