    〃And I should have lived a coward forever;〃 declared the Lion;

〃and no beast in all the forest would have had a good word to say to me。〃



    〃This is all true;〃 said Dorothy; 〃and I am glad I was of use

to these good friends。  But now that each of them has had what he

most desired; and each is happy in having a kingdom to rule besides;

I think I should like to go back to Kansas。〃



    〃The Silver Shoes;〃 said the Good Witch; 〃have wonderful powers。

And one of the most curious things about them is that they can carry

you to any place in the world in three steps; and each step will be

made in the wink of an eye。  All you have to do is to knock the heels

together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you

wish to go。〃



    〃If that is so;〃 said the child joyfully; 〃I will ask them to

carry me back to Kansas at once。〃



    She threw her arms around the Lion's neck and kissed him;

patting his big head tenderly。  Then she kissed the Tin Woodman;

who was weeping in a way most dangerous to his joints。  But she

hugged the soft; stuffed body of the Scarecrow in her arms instead

of kissing his painted face; and found she was crying herself at

this sorrowful parting from her loving comrades。



    Glinda the Good stepped down from her ruby throne to give the

little girl a good…bye kiss; and Dorothy thanked her for all the

kindness she had shown to her friends and herself。



    Dorothy now took Toto up solemnly in her arms; and having said

one last good…bye she clapped the heels of her shoes together three

times; saying:



    〃Take me home to Aunt Em!〃



    Instantly she was whirling through the air; so swiftly that

all she could see or feel was the wind whistling past her ears。



    The Silver Shoes took but three steps; and then she stopped so

suddenly that she rolled over upon the grass several times before

she knew where she was。



    At length; however; she sat up and looked about her。



    〃Good gracious!〃 she cried。



    For she was sitting on the broad Kansas prairie; and just

before her was the new farmhouse Uncle Henry built after the

cyclone had carried away the old one。  Uncle Henry was milking the

cows in the barnyard; and Toto had jumped out of her arms and was

running toward the barn; barking furiously。



    Dorothy stood up and found she was in her stocking…feet。

For the Silver Shoes had fallen off in her flight through the air;

and were lost forever in the desert。









                         24。  Home Again





    Aunt Em had just come out of the house to water the cabbages

when she looked up and saw Dorothy running toward her。



    〃My darling child!〃 she cried; folding the little girl in her

arms and covering her face with kisses。  〃Where in the world did

you come from?〃



    〃From the Land of Oz;〃 said Dorothy gravely。  〃And here is

Toto; too。  And oh; Aunt Em!  I'm so glad to be at home again!〃
