The

old

Nome

whispered

to

Kiki

not

to

enter

the

clearing

or

allow

the

monkeys

to

see

them

.

"

Why

not

?

"

asked

the

boy

,

drawing

back

.

"

Because

those

monkeys

are

to

be

our

army

—

the

army

which

will

conquer

Oz

,

"

said

the

Nome

.

"

Sit

down

here

with

me

,

Kiki

,

and

keep

quiet

,

and

I

will

explain

to

you

my

plan

.

Now

,

neither

Kiki

Aru

nor

Ruggedo

had

noticed

that

a

sly

Fox

had

followed

them

all

the

way

from

the

tree

where

the

Goose

had

been

transformed

to

the

Li

-

Mon

-

Eag

.

Indeed

,

this

Fox

,

who

was

none

other

than

the

Wizard

of

Oz

,

had

witnessed

the

transformation

of

the

Goose

and

now

decided

he

would

keep

watch

on

the

conspirators

and

see

what

they

would

do

next

.

A

Fox

can

move

through

a

forest

very

softly

,

without

making

any

noise

,

and

so

the

Wizard

’

s

enemies

did

not

suspect

his

presence

.

But

when

they

sat

down

by

the

edge

of

the

clearing

,

to

talk

,

with

their

backs

toward

him

,

the

Wizard

did

not

know

whether

to

risk

being

seen

,

by

creeping

closer

to

hear

what

they

said

,

or

whether

it

would

be

better

for

him

to

hide

himself

until

they

moved

on

again

.

While

he

considered

this

question

he

discovered

near

him

a

great

tree

which

had

a

hollow

trunk

,

and

there

was

a

round

hole

in

this

tree

,

about

three

feet

above

the

ground

.

The

Wizard

Fox

decided

it

would

be

safer

for

him

to

hide

inside

the

hollow

tree

,

so

he

sprang

into

the

hole

and

crouched

down

in

the

hollow

,

so

that

his

eyes

just

came

to

the

edge

of

the

hole

by

which

he

had

entered

,

and

from

here

he

watched

the

forms

of

the

two

Li

-

Mon

-

Eags

.

"

This

is

my

plan

,

"

said

the

Nome

to

Kiki

,

speaking

so

low

that

the

Wizard

could

only

hear

the

rumble

of

his

voice

.

"

Since

you

can

transform

anything

into

any

form

you

wish

,

we

will

transform

these

monkeys

into

an

army

,

and

with

that

army

we

will

conquer

the

Oz

people

.

"

The

monkeys

won

’

t

make

much

of

an

army

,

"

objected

Kiki

.

"

We

need

a

great

army

,

but

not

a

numerous

one

,

"

responded

the

Nome

.

"

You

will

transform

each

monkey

into

a

giant

man

,

dressed

in

a

fine

uniform

and

armed

with

a

sharp

sword

.

There

are

fifty

monkeys

over

there

and

fifty

giants

would

make

as

big

an

army

as

we

need

.

"

"

What

will

they

do

with

the

swords

?

"

asked

Kiki

.

"

Nothing

can

kill

the

Oz

people

.
