answered

the

Scarecrow

;

"

it

's

a

lighted

match

.

"

After

a

few

hours

the

road

began

to

be

rough

,

and

the

walking

grew

so

difficult

that

the

Scarecrow

often

stumbled

over

the

yellow

bricks

,

which

were

here

very

uneven

.

Sometimes

,

indeed

,

they

were

broken

or

missing

altogether

,

leaving

holes

that

Toto

jumped

across

and

Dorothy

walked

around

.

As

for

the

Scarecrow

,

having

no

brains

,

he

walked

straight

ahead

,

and

so

stepped

into

the

holes

and

fell

at

full

length

on

the

hard

bricks

.

It

never

hurt

him

,

however

,

and

Dorothy

would

pick

him

up

and

set

him

upon

his

feet

again

,

while

he

joined

her

in

laughing

merrily

at

his

own

mishap

.

The

farms

were

not

nearly

so

well

cared

for

here

as

they

were

farther

back

.

There

were

fewer

houses

and

fewer

fruit

trees

,

and

the

farther

they

went

the

more

dismal

and

lonesome

the

country

became

.

At

noon

they

sat

down

by

the

roadside

,

near

a

little

brook

,

and

Dorothy

opened

her

basket

and

got

out

some

bread

.

She

offered

a

piece

to

the

Scarecrow

,

but

he

refused

.

"

I

am

never

hungry

,

"

he

said

,

"

and

it

is

a

lucky

thing

I

am

not

,

for

my

mouth

is

only

painted

,

and

if

I

should

cut

a

hole

in

it

so

I

could

eat

,

the

straw

I

am

stuffed

with

would

come

out

,

and

that

would

spoil

the

shape

of

my

head

.

"

Dorothy

saw

at

once

that

this

was

true

,

so

she

only

nodded

and

went

on

eating

her

bread

.

"

Tell

me

something

about

yourself

and

the

country

you

came

from

,

"

said

the

Scarecrow

,

when

she

had

finished

her

dinner

.

So

she

told

him

all

about

Kansas

,

and

how

gray

everything

was

there

,

and

how

the

cyclone

had

carried

her

to

this

queer

Land

of

Oz

.

The

Scarecrow

listened

carefully

,

and

said

,

"

I

can

not

understand

why

you

should

wish

to

leave

this

beautiful

country

and

go

back

to

the

dry

,

gray

place

you

call

Kansas

.

"

"

That

is

because

you

have

no

brains

"

answered

the

girl

.

"

No

matter

how

dreary

and

gray

our

homes

are

,

we

people

of

flesh

and

blood

would

rather

live

there

than

in

any

other

country

,

be

it

ever

so

beautiful

.

There

is

no

place

like

home

.

"

The

Scarecrow

sighed

.
