I

am

a

Woodman

,

and

made

of

tin

.

Therefore

I

have

no

heart

,

and

can

not

love

.

I

pray

you

to

give

me

a

heart

that

I

may

be

as

other

men

are

.

"

"

Why

should

I

do

this

?

"

demanded

the

Beast

.

"

Because

I

ask

it

,

and

you

alone

can

grant

my

request

,

"

answered

the

Woodman

.

Oz

gave

a

low

growl

at

this

,

but

said

,

gruffly

:

"

If

you

indeed

desire

a

heart

,

you

must

earn

it

.

"

"

How

?

"

asked

the

Woodman

.

"

Help

Dorothy

to

kill

the

Wicked

Witch

of

the

West

,

"

replied

the

Beast

.

"

When

the

Witch

is

dead

,

come

to

me

,

and

I

will

then

give

you

the

biggest

and

kindest

and

most

loving

heart

in

all

the

Land

of

Oz

.

"

So

the

Tin

Woodman

was

forced

to

return

sorrowfully

to

his

friends

and

tell

them

of

the

terrible

Beast

he

had

seen

.

They

all

wondered

greatly

at

the

many

forms

the

Great

Wizard

could

take

upon

himself

,

and

the

Lion

said

:

"

If

he

is

a

Beast

when

I

go

to

see

him

,

I

shall

roar

my

loudest

,

and

so

frighten

him

that

he

will

grant

all

I

ask

.

And

if

he

is

the

lovely

Lady

,

I

shall

pretend

to

spring

upon

her

,

and

so

compel

her

to

do

my

bidding

.

And

if

he

is

the

great

Head

,

he

will

be

at

my

mercy

;

for

I

will

roll

this

head

all

about

the

room

until

he

promises

to

give

us

what

we

desire

.

So

be

of

good

cheer

,

my

friends

,

for

all

will

yet

be

well

.

"

The

next

morning

the

soldier

with

the

green

whiskers

led

the

Lion

to

the

great

Throne

Room

and

bade

him

enter

the

presence

of

Oz

.

The

Lion

at

once

passed

through

the

door

,

and

glancing

around

saw

,

to

his

surprise

,

that

before

the

throne

was

a

Ball

of

Fire

,

so

fierce

and

glowing

he

could

scarcely

bear

to

gaze

upon

it

.

His

first

thought

was

that

Oz

had

by

accident

caught

on

fire

and

was

burning

up

;

but

when

he

tried

to

go

nearer

,

the

heat

was

so

intense

that

it

singed

his

whiskers

,

and

he

crept

back

tremblingly

to

a

spot

nearer

the

door

.
