You will remember there was no
road-not even q pathway-between
the castle Of the Wicked Witch and
the Emerald City. When the four
travellers went in search Of the Witch
she had seen them coming. and 80

them to her. 1t was much harder to
find their way back through the big
fields Of buttercups ana bright daisies

toward the rising sun: and they
started on In the right way. But At
noon. when the sun was over their
heads, they did not know which was
east and which was west, and that
was the reason they were lost in the
great fields. They kept on walking.
however. and at night the moon came
out and shone brightly. So they lay
down among the sweet smelling scar

morning-all but the Scarecrow and
the Tin Woodman.
The next morning the sun was be-

But day by day passed away, and
they still saw nothing before them
but the scarlet fields. The Scarecrow
began to grumble a bit.

said. "and unless We find it again in
