Dorothy

had

seen

many

jugglers

in

her

lifetime

,

but

never

any

so

interesting

as

these

.

There

were

six

of

them

,

dressed

in

black

satin

embroidered

with

queer

symbols

in

silver

-

-

a

costume

which

contrasted

strongly

with

their

snow

-

white

fur

.

First

,

they

pushed

in

a

big

red

ball

and

three

of

the

rabbit

jugglers

stood

upon

its

top

and

made

it

roll

.

Then

two

of

them

caught

up

a

third

and

tossed

him

into

the

air

,

all

vanishing

,

until

only

the

two

were

left

.

Then

one

of

these

tossed

the

other

upward

and

remained

alone

of

all

his

fellows

.

This

last

juggler

now

touched

the

red

ball

,

which

fell

apart

,

being

hollow

,

and

the

five

rabbits

who

had

disappeared

in

the

air

scrambled

out

of

the

hollow

ball

.

Next

they

all

clung

together

and

rolled

swiftly

upon

the

floor

.

When

they

came

to

a

stop

only

one

fat

rabbit

juggler

was

seen

,

the

others

seeming

to

be

inside

him

.

This

one

leaped

lightly

into

the

air

and

when

he

came

down

he

exploded

and

separated

into

the

original

six

.

Then

four

of

them

rolled

themselves

into

round

balls

and

the

other

two

tossed

them

around

and

played

ball

with

them

.

These

were

but

a

few

of

the

tricks

the

rabbit

jugglers

performed

,

and

they

were

so

skillful

that

all

the

nobility

and

even

the

King

applauded

as

loudly

as

did

Dorothy

.

"

I

suppose

there

are

no

rabbit

jugglers

in

all

the

world

to

compare

with

these

,

"

remarked

the

King

.

"

And

since

I

may

not

have

the

Whiskers

Friskers

or

my

Bodyguard

,

you

might

ask

Glinda

to

let

me

take

away

just

two

or

three

of

these

jugglers

.

Will

you

?

"

"

I

’

ll

ask

her

,

"

replied

Dorothy

,

doubtfully

.

"

Thank

you

,

"

said

the

King

;

"

thank

you

very

much

.

And

now

you

shall

listen

to

the

Winsome

Waggish

Warblers

,

who

have

often

cheered

me

in

my

moments

of

anguish

.

"

The

Winsome

Waggish

Warblers

proved

to

be

a

quartette

of

rabbit

singers

,

two

gentlemen

and

two

lady

rabbits

.

The

gentlemen

Warblers

wore

full

-

dress

swallow

-

tailed

suits

of

white

satin

,

with

pearls

for

buttons

,

while

the

lady

Warblers

were

gowned

in

white

satin

dresses

with

long

trails

.
