Ozma
s
palace
stood
in
the
center
of
a
delightful
and
extensive
garden
,
where
splendid
trees
and
flowering
shrubs
and
statuary
and
fountains
abounded
.
One
could
walk
for
hours
in
this
fascinating
park
and
see
something
interesting
at
every
step
.
In
one
place
was
an
aquarium
,
where
strange
and
beautiful
fish
swam
;
at
another
spot
all
the
birds
of
the
air
gathered
daily
to
a
great
feast
which
Ozma
s
servants
provided
for
them
,
and
were
so
fearless
of
harm
that
they
would
alight
upon
one
s
shoulders
and
eat
from
one
s
hand
.
There
was
also
the
Fountain
of
the
Water
of
Oblivion
,
but
it
was
dangerous
to
drink
of
this
water
,
because
it
made
one
forget
everything
he
had
ever
before
known
,
even
to
his
own
name
,
and
therefore
Ozma
had
placed
a
sign
of
warning
upon
the
fountain
.
But
there
were
also
fountains
that
were
delightfully
perfumed
,
and
fountains
of
delicious
nectar
,
cool
and
richly
flavored
,
where
all
were
welcome
to
refresh
themselves
.
Around
the
palace
grounds
was
a
great
wall
,
thickly
encrusted
with
glittering
emeralds
,
but
the
gates
stood
open
and
no
one
was
forbidden
entrance
.
On
holidays
the
people
of
the
Emerald
City
often
took
their
children
to
see
the
wonders
of
Ozma
s
gardens
,
and
even
entered
the
Royal
Palace
,
if
they
felt
so
inclined
,
for
they
knew
that
they
and
their
Ruler
were
friends
,
and
that
Ozma
delighted
to
give
them
pleasure
.

When
all
this
is
considered
,
you
will
not
be
surprised
that
the
people
throughout
the
Land
of
Oz
,
as
well
as
Ozma
s
most
intimate
friends
and
her
royal
courtiers
,
were
eager
to
celebrate
her
birthday
,
and
made
preparations
for
the
festival
weeks
in
advance
.
All
the
brass
bands
practiced
their
nicest
tunes
,
for
they
were
to
march
in
the
numerous
processions
to
be
made
in
the
Winkie
Country
,
the
Gillikin
Country
,
the
Munchkin
Country
and
the
Quadling
Country
,
as
well
as
in
the
Emerald
City
.
Not
all
the
people
could
go
to
congratulate
their
Ruler
,
but
all
could
celebrate
her
birthday
,
in
one
way
or
another
,
however
far
distant
from
her
palace
they
might
be
.
Every
home
and
building
throughout
the
Land
of
Oz
was
to
be
decorated
with
banners
and
bunting
,
and
there
were
to
be
games
,
and
plays
,
and
a
general
good
time
for
every
one
.
It
was
Ozma
s
custom
on
her
birthday
to
give
a
grand
feast
at
the
palace
,
to
which
all
her
closest
friends
were
invited
.
It
was
a
queerly
assorted
company
,
indeed
,
for
there
are
more
quaint
and
unusual
characters
in
Oz
than
in
all
the
rest
of
the
world
,
and
Ozma
was
more
interested
in
unusual
people
than
in
ordinary
ones
just
as
you
and
I
are
.
On
this
especial
birthday
of
the
lovely
girl
Ruler
,
a
long
table
was
set
in
the
royal
Banquet
Hall
of
the
palace
,
at
which
were
place
-
cards
for
the
invited
guests
,
and
at
one
end
of
the
great
room
was
a
smaller
table
,
not
so
high
,
for
Ozma
s
animal
friends
,
whom
she
never
forgot
,
and
at
the
other
end
was
a
big
table
where
all
of
the
birthday
gifts
were
to
be
arranged
.

When
the
guests
arrived
,
they
placed
their
gifts
on
this
table
and
then
found
their
places
at
the
banquet
table
.
And
,
after
the
guests
were
all
placed
,
the
animals
entered
in
a
solemn
procession
and
were
placed
at
their
table
by
Jellia
Jamb
.
Then
,
while
an
orchestra
hidden
by
a
bank
of
roses
and
ferns
played
a
march
composed
for
the
occasion
,
the
Royal
Ozma
entered
the
Banquet
Hall
,
attended
by
her
Maids
of
Honor
,
and
took
her
seat
at
the
head
of
the
table
.
She
was
greeted
by
a
cheer
from
all
the
assembled
company
,
the
animals
adding
their
roars
and
growls
and
barks
and
mewing
and
cackling
to
swell
the
glad
tumult
,
and
then
all
seated
themselves
at
their
tables
.
At
Ozma
s
right
sat
the
famous
Scarecrow
of
Oz
,
whose
straw
-
stuffed
body
was
not
beautiful
,
but
whose
happy
nature
and
shrewd
wit
had
made
him
a
general
favorite
.
On
the
left
of
the
Ruler
was
placed
the
Tin
Woodman
,
whose
metal
body
had
been
brightly
polished
for
this
event
.
The
Tin
Woodman
was
the
Emperor
of
the
Winkie
Country
and
one
of
the
most
important
persons
in
Oz
.
