Toto wouldn't
stop barking while Darthy and her friends talked to the Great Wizard. Suddenly,
Toto jumped from Dorthy's arms. "Toto," she cried, "Come back!" But it
was too late. Toto had already run into a tall screen, knocking it over.
Behind the screen was an ordinary little
man - not the Great Wizard of Oz. He told them how he had accidently
come to Oz in a balloon. "When I came out of the clouds, the people thought
I was the Wizard of Oz," he explained. "I'm a very bad wizard," he said,
"But I'll help you." He gave the Scarecrow a diploma so he could now use
his brain, then he
gave the Tinman a watch that ticked like a WHAT???
Finally, he gave the Cowardy Lion an award for courage.
Dorthy and Thumper were the only ones left! "I'll fly you both to Kansas
in my Balloon," the Wizard told her. But before Dorthy and Thumper could
get in, the Balloon took off! Dorthy started crying.
Thumper gave the balloon the "Birdy"
How would Dorthy and Thumper ever get home? Just when it seemed hopeless
Glinda the Good Bitch Witch drifted down in her bubble.
When Glinda finally got done wiping and Dorthy dried her eye's, she looked
at Glinda and said,"Each of my friends has what he desires, now I would
like to go back to Kansas and Thumper needs a phone line! Glinda smiled
and said, "Click your
heels together three times and tell the shoes where you wish to go! "Dorothy
clicked her heels together and they begin to glow!,
"Take me home to Aunt Em and give poor Thumper a phone line!" Instantly
she was back in Kansas."Good Gracious!" she cried, "I'm home!!"
