"

I

shall

take

the

heart

,

"

returned

the

Tin

Woodman

;

"

for

brains

do

not

make

one

happy

,

and

happiness

is

the

best

thing

in

the

world

.

"

Dorothy

did

not

say

anything

,

for

she

was

puzzled

to

know

which

of

her

two

friends

was

right

,

and

she

decided

if

she

could

only

get

back

to

Kansas

and

Aunt

Em

,

it

did

not

matter

so

much

whether

the

Woodman

had

no

brains

and

the

Scarecrow

no

heart

,

or

each

got

what

he

wanted

.

What

worried

her

most

was

that

the

bread

was

nearly

gone

,

and

another

meal

for

herself

and

Toto

would

empty

the

basket

.

To

be

sure

neither

the

Woodman

nor

the

Scarecrow

ever

ate

anything

,

but

she

was

not

made

of

tin

nor

straw

,

and

could

not

live

unless

she

was

fed

.

All

this

time

Dorothy

and

her

companions

had

been

walking

through

the

thick

woods

.

The

road

was

still

paved

with

yellow

brick

,

but

these

were

much

covered

by

dried

branches

and

dead

leaves

from

the

trees

,

and

the

walking

was

not

at

all

good

.

There

were

few

birds

in

this

part

of

the

forest

,

for

birds

love

the

open

country

where

there

is

plenty

of

sunshine

.

But

now

and

then

there

came

a

deep

growl

from

some

wild

animal

hidden

among

the

trees

.

These

sounds

made

the

little

girl

's

heart

beat

fast

,

for

she

did

not

know

what

made

them

;

but

Toto

knew

,

and

he

walked

close

to

Dorothy

's

side

,

and

did

not

even

bark

in

return

.

"

How

long

will

it

be

,

"

the

child

asked

of

the

Tin

Woodman

,

"

before

we

are

out

of

the

forest

?

"

"

I

can

not

tell

,

"

was

the

answer

,

"

for

I

have

never

been

to

the

Emerald

City

.

But

my

father

went

there

once

,

when

I

was

a

boy

,

and

he

said

it

was

a

long

journey

through

a

dangerous

country

,

although

nearer

to

the

city

where

Oz

dwells

the

country

is

beautiful

.

But

I

am

not

afraid

so

long

as

I

have

my

oil-can

,

and

nothing

can

hurt

the

Scarecrow

,

while

you

bear

upon

your

forehead

the

mark

of

the

Good

Witch

's

kiss

,

and

that

will

protect

you

from

harm

.

"

"

But

Toto

!

"

said

the

girl

anxiously

.

"

What

will

protect

him

?

"

"

We

must

protect

him

ourselves

if

he

is

in

danger

,

"

replied

the

Tin

Woodman

.
