and buttercups。  Dorothy still wore the pretty silk dress she had put on

in the palace�察�but now�察�to her surprise�察�she found it was no longer green��

but pure white。  The ribbon around Toto's neck had also lost its green

color and was as white as Dorothy's dress。



    The Emerald City was soon left far behind。  As they advanced

the ground became rougher and hillier�察�for there were no farms nor

houses in this country of the West�察�and the ground was untilled。



    In the afternoon the sun shone hot in their faces�察�for there

were no trees to offer them shade�察�so that before night Dorothy

and Toto and the Lion were tired�察�and lay down upon the grass and

fell asleep�察�with the Woodman and the Scarecrow keeping watch。



    Now the Wicked Witch of the West had but one eye�察�yet that was as

powerful as a telescope�察�and could see everywhere。  So�察�as she sat in

the door of her castle�察�she happened to look around and saw Dorothy

lying asleep�察�with her friends all about her。  They were a long

distance off�察�but the Wicked Witch was angry to find them in her

country�察�so she blew upon a silver whistle that hung around her neck。



    At once there came running to her from all directions a pack

of great wolves。  They had long legs and fierce eyes and sharp teeth。



    ;Go to those people�察─�said the Witch�察 �and tear them to pieces。;



    ;Are you not going to make them your slaves�拭─�asked the leader

of the wolves。



    ;No�察─�she answered�察 �one is of tin�察�and one of straw�察�one is

a girl and another a Lion。  None of them is fit to work�察�so you

may tear them into small pieces。;



    ;Very well�察─�said the wolf�察�and he dashed away at full speed��

followed by the others。



    It was lucky the Scarecrow and the Woodman were wide awake and

heard the wolves coming。



    ;This is my fight�察─�said the Woodman�察 �so get behind me and I

will meet them as they come。;



    He seized his axe�察�which he had made very sharp�察�and as the

leader of the wolves came on the Tin Woodman swung his arm and

chopped the wolf's head from its body�察�so that it immediately died。

As soon as he could raise his axe another wolf came up�察�and he also

fell under the sharp edge of the Tin Woodman's weapon。  There were

forty wolves�察�and forty times a wolf was killed�察�so that at last

they all lay dead in a heap before the Woodman。



    Then he put down his axe and sat beside the Scarecrow�察�who said��

;It was a good fight�察�friend。;



    They waited until Dorothy awoke the next morning。  The little

girl was quite frightened when she saw the great pile of shaggy

wolves�察�but the Tin Woodman told her all。  She thanked him for

saving them and sat down to breakfast�察�after which they started

again upon their journey。



    Now this same morning the Wicked Witch came to the door of her

castle and looked out with her one eye that could see far off。

She saw all her wolves lying dead�察�and the strangers still

traveling through her country。  This made her angrier than before��

and she blew her silver whistle twice。



    Straightway a great flock of wild crows came flying toward her��

enough to darken the sky。



    And the Wicked Witch said to the King Crow�察 �Fly at once to

the strangers�察�peck out their eyes and tear them to pieces。;



    The wild crows flew in one great flock toward Dorothy and her

companions。  When the little girl saw them coming she was afraid。



    But the Scarecrow said�察 �This is my battle�察�so lie down beside

me and you will not be harmed。;



    So they all lay upon the ground except the Scarecrow�察�and he

stood up and stretched out his arms。  And when the crows saw him

they were frightened�察�as these birds always are by scarecrows�察�and

did not dare to come any nearer。  But the King Crow said��



    ;It is only a stuffed man。  I will peck his eyes out。;



    The King Crow flew at the Scarecrow�察�who caught it by the head

and twisted its neck until it died。  And then another crow flew at

him�察�and the Scarecrow twisted its neck also。  There were forty

crows�察�and forty times the Scarecrow twisted a neck�察�until at last

all were lying dead beside him。  Then he called to his companions

to rise�察�and again they went upon their journey。



    When the Wicked Witch looked out again and saw all her crows

lying in a heap�察�she got into a terrible rage�察�and blew three

times upon her silver whistle。



    Forthwith there was heard a great buzzing in the air�察�and a

swarm of black bees came flying toward her。



    ;Go to the strangers and sting them to death� ─�commanded

the Witch�察�and the bees turned and flew rapidly until they came

to where Dorothy and her friends were walking。  But the Woodman

had seen them coming�察�and the Scarecrow had decided what to do。



    ;Take out my straw and scatter it over the little girl and the

dog and the Lion�察─�he said to the Woodman�察 �and the bees cannot

sting them。;  This the Woodman did�察�and as Dorothy lay close beside

the Lion and held Toto in her arms�察�the straw covered them entirely。



    The bees came and found no one but the Woodman to sting�察�so

they flew at him and broke off all their stings against the tin��

without hurting the Woodman at all。  And as bees cannot live when

their stings are broken that was the end of the black bees�察�and

they lay scattered thick about the Woodman�察�like little heaps of

fine coal。



    Then Dorothy and the Lion got up�察�and the girl helped the Tin

Woodman put the straw back into the Scarecrow again�察�until he was

as good as ever。  So they started upon their journey once more。



    The Wicked Witch was so angry when she saw her black bees in

little heaps like fine coal that she stamped her foot and tore her

hair and gnashed her teeth。  And then she called a dozen of her

slaves�察�who were the Winkies�察�and gave them sharp spears�察�telling

them to go to the strangers and destroy them。



    The Winkies were not a brave people�察�but they had to do as

they were told。  So they marched away until they came near to

Dorothy。  Then the Lion gave a great roar and sprang towards them��

and the poor Winkies were so frightened that they ran back as fast

as they could。



    When they returned to the castle the Wicked Witch beat them

well with a strap�察�and sent them back to their work�察�after which

she sat down to think what she should do next。  She could not

understand how all her plans to destroy these strangers had failed��

but she was a powerful Witch�察�as well as a wicked one�察�and she soon

made up her mind how to act。



    There was�察�in her cupboard�察�a Golden Cap�察�with a circle of

diamonds and rubies running round it。  This Golden Cap had a charm。

Whoever owned it could call three times upon the Winged Monkeys��

who would obey any order they were given。  But no person

could command these strange creatures more than three times。

Twice already the Wicked Witch had used the charm of the Cap。

Once was when she had made the Winkies her slaves�察�and set herself

to rule over their country。  The Winged Monkeys had helped her

do this。  The second time was when she had fought against the

Great Oz himself�察�and driven him out of the land of the West。

The Winged Monkeys had also helped her in doing this。  Only once

more could she use this Golden Cap�察�for which reason she did not

like to do so until all her other powers were exhausted。  But now

that her fierce wolves and her wild crows and her stinging bees were

gone�察�and her slaves had been scared away by the Cowardly Lion��

she saw there was only one way left to destroy Dorothy and her friends。



    So the Wicked Witch took the Golden Cap from her cupboard and

placed it upon her head。  Then she stood upon her left foot and

said slowly��



    ;Ep´pe�察�pep´pe�察�kak´ke� �



    Next she stood upon her right foot and said��



    ;Hil´lo�察�hol´lo�察�hel´lo� �



    After this she stood upon both feet and cried in a loud voice��



    ;Ziz´zy�察�zuz´zy�察�zik� �



    Now the charm began to work。  The sky was darkened�察�and a low

rumbling sound was heard in the air。  There was a rushing of many

wings�察�a great chattering and laughing�察�and the sun came out of the

dark sky to show the Wicked Witch surrounded by a crowd of monkeys��

each with a pair of immense and powerful wings on his shoulders。



    One�察�much bigger than the others�察�seemed to be their leader。

He flew close to the Witch and said�察 �You have called us for the

third and last time。  What do you command�拭�



    ;Go to the strangers who are within my land and destroy them

all except the Lion�察─�said the Wicked Witch。  ;Bring that beast to

me�察�for I have a mind to harness him like a horse�察�and make him work。;



    ;Your commands shall be obeyed�察─�said the leader。  Then�察�with

a great deal of chattering and noise�察�the Winged Monkeys flew away

to the place where Dorothy and her friends were walking。



    Some of the Monkeys seized the Tin Woodman and carried him

through the air until they were over a country thickly covered

with sharp rocks。  Here they dropped the poor Woodman�察�who fell a

great distance to the rocks�察�where he lay so battered and dented

that he could neither move nor groan。



    Others of the Monkeys caught the Scarecrow�察�and with their

long fingers pulled all of the straw out of his clothes and head。

They made his hat and boots and clothes into a small bundle and

threw it into the top branches of a tall tree。



    The remaining Monkeys threw pieces of stout rope around

the Lion and wound many coils about his body and head and legs��

until he was unable to bite or scratch or struggle in any way。

Then they lifted him up and flew away with him to the Witch's castle��

where he was placed in a small yard with a high iron fence around it��

so that he could not escape。



    But Dorothy they did not harm at all。  She stood�察�with Toto in

her arms�察�watching the sad fate of her comrades and thinking it
