The Wizard Of Oz Page #7
DOROTHY:
Oh, I'd give anything to get out of Oz
altogether -- but which is the way back to
Kansas? I can't go the way I came.
GLINDA:
No -- that's true. The only person who might
know would be the great and wonderful Wizard
of Oz himself!
DOROTHY:
The Wizard of Oz? Is he good or is he
wicked?
GLINDA:
Oh, very good, but very mysterious. He
lives in the Emerald City, and that's a
long journey from here. Did you bring your
broomstick with you?
DOROTHY:
No, I'm afraid I didn't.
GLINDA:
Well, then, you'll have to walk. The
Munchkins will see you safely to the border
of Munchkinland. And remember, never let
those ruby slippers off your feet for a
moment, or you will be at the mercy of the
Wicked Witch of the West.
DOROTHY:
But, how do I start for Emerald City?
GLINDA:
It's always best to start at the beginning
-- and all you do is follow the Yellow Brick
Road.
