The
path
was
becoming
rocky
and
difficult
for
the
wheels
of
the
chariot
to
pass
over
,
and
presently
a
deep
gulf
appeared
at
their
feet
which
was
too
wide
for
them
to
leap
.
So
Ozma
took
a
small
square
of
green
cloth
from
her
pocket
and
threw
it
upon
the
ground
.
At
once
it
became
the
magic
carpet
,
and
unrolled
itself
far
enough
for
all
the
cavalcade
to
walk
upon
.
The
chariot
now
advanced
,
and
the
green
carpet
unrolled
before
it
,
crossing
the
gulf
on
a
level
with
its
banks
,
so
that
all
passed
over
in
safety
.
692
"
That
s
easy
enough
,
"
said
the
Scarecrow
.
"
I
wonder
what
will
happen
next
.
"
693
He
was
not
long
in
making
the
discovery
,
for
the
sides
of
the
mountain
came
closer
together
until
finally
there
was
but
a
narrow
path
between
them
,
along
which
Ozma
and
her
party
were
forced
to
pass
in
single
file
.

They
now
heard
a
low
and
deep
"
thump
!
-
-
thump
!
-
-
thump
!
"
which
echoed
throughout
the
valley
and
seemed
to
grow
louder
as
they
advanced
.
Then
,
turning
a
corner
of
rock
,
they
saw
before
them
a
huge
form
,
which
towered
above
the
path
for
more
than
a
hundred
feet
.
The
form
was
that
of
a
gigantic
man
built
out
of
plates
of
cast
iron
,
and
it
stood
with
one
foot
on
either
side
of
the
narrow
road
and
swung
over
its
right
shoulder
an
immense
iron
mallet
,
with
which
it
constantly
pounded
the
earth
.
These
resounding
blows
explained
the
thumping
sounds
they
had
heard
,
for
the
mallet
was
much
bigger
than
a
barrel
,
and
where
it
struck
the
path
between
the
rocky
sides
of
the
mountain
it
filled
all
the
space
through
which
our
travelers
would
be
obliged
to
pass
.
695
Of
course
they
at
once
halted
,
a
safe
distance
away
from
the
terrible
iron
mallet
.
696
The
magic
carpet
would
do
them
no
good
in
this
case
,
for
it
was
only
meant
to
protect
them
from
any
dangers
upon
the
ground
beneath
their
feet
,
and
not
from
dangers
that
appeared
in
the
air
above
them
.
697
"
Wow
!
"
said
the
Cowardly
Lion
,
with
a
shudder
.
"
It
makes
me
dreadfully
nervous
to
see
that
big
hammer
pounding
so
near
my
head
.
One
blow
would
crush
me
into
a
door
-
mat
.

asked
Ozma
,
regarding
the

with
wondering
eyes

the
