THE WINGED MONKEYS
They were going to east but day by day passed away and they still saw nothing before them but the yellow fields. The scarecrow began to gamble a bit. Every one was hopeless. Dorothy lost heart. She sat down on the grass and looked at her companions and they also sat down. Suddenly an idea struck in her mind she blew the whistle she had always carried about her neck since the Queen of the Mice had given it to her. In a few minutes they heard the pattering of tiny feet and many of the small grey mice came running up to her. Among them was the Queen herself, who asked in her squeaky little voice.
Queen of mice said "What can I do for my friends?"
Doropthy said "we have our way, can you tell us where the Emerald City is".
The queen of mice noticed Dorothy's golden cap, and said, "why don't you use the charm of the Cap, and call the Winged Monkeys to you, they will carry you to the City of Oz in less than an hour"
Dorothy looked inside the Golden Cap and saw some words written upon the lining. Dorothy read these words and suddenly a pack of winged monkeys appeared there. They carried Dorothy and her friends to Emerald City within a short time. Now they were at the City gate.
When the king of Winged witch was carrying Dorothy, the started his story to Dorothy. "Once we were also free winged monkey, jumping, flying, mischief activities with other animal to pull their tails etc. My grand father was the leader of the winged monkey. there was a princess and she was going to be wedded with Quelala. One day when my grand father was flying with his band saw Quelala walking beside the river. He was dressed in a rich costume of pink silk and purple velvet. My grand father with his band came down caught him dropped him in the middle of the river. His clothes and costume were ruined. When princess came there and know about this incident, she was so upset and tied their wings by her spiritual power. Monkeys begged her pardon. The Golden Cap was prepared for princess's wedding so she said that "here in after you will be slaves of owner of this Golden Cap. And you will fulfill owner's three wishes. The time was changed, this Golden Cap snatched by the Wicked witch of West and now it is with you". The story was finished and they were just above the green, shining walls of the Emerald City before them. Dorothy wondered at the rapid flight of the monkeys, but was glad the journey was over. The strange creatures set the travelers down carefully before the gate of the City, the king of winged monkeys bowled low to Dorothy and then flew swiftly away.
