The four passed through the rest of the forest in safety, they came out from the gloom saw before them a steep hill, covered from top to bottom with great pieces of rock. Here they saw so many big headed but armless people. They did not allow these four to go through their land. They hitting them by their arrows. The Dorothy called the winged monkeys . The King of Winged Monkeys helped them. They caught them up i their arms and flew away with them. As they passed over the hill the the Hammer-heads yelled with vexation, and shot their heads high in the air, but they could not reach the Winged Monkeys, which carried Dorothy and her comrades safely over the hill and set them down in the beautiful country of the Quadlings. "This is the last time you can summon us, goodbye and good luck to you ", said the leader to Dorothy.
The country of the Quadlings seemed rich and happy. There was fields of ripening grain, with well paved roads running between , and pretty rippling brooks with strong bridges across them. The fences and houses and bridges were all painted bright red, just as they had been painted yellow in the country of the Winkies and blue in the country of the munchkins. The people here are short and fat and looked chubby and good natured, were dressed all in red, which showed bright against the green grass and the yellowing grain. The monkeys had set them down near a form house and the four travelled walk up to it and knocked at the door. The farmer's wife opened the door. They were treated nicely and given them food to eat. She also guide them up to the castle. Very soon they were at the castle gate. Before the gates were three young girls, dressed in handsome red uniforms trimmed with gold braid and as Dorothy approached one of them said to her, "why have you come to the South Country,"
"To see the Good witch who rules the country, will you take me to her," said Dorothy. The girl in uniform asked her and her friends their names and purposes to visit and went into the castle,and soon came back to say that Dorothy and the others were to be admitted at once after refresh. The four washed themselves and became to ready to face the gentle good witch of the country Glinda.
THE GOOD WITCH GRANTS DOROTHY'S WISH
When they were all quite presentable they followed the soldier girl in to a big room where the Witch Glinda sat upon a throne of rubies. She was beautiful and young. Her hair was a rich red in colour and fell in flowing ringlets over her shoulders, her dress was pure white, her eyes were blue, they looked kindly upon the little girl. She asked the girl about her and her friend's purpose to she her. Dorothy related her story to her and requested her to help her so that she can go to her aunty Em at Kansas. She kissed her and said she will send her to her aunty. At the same time the good witch asked Dorothy to give her the Golden Cap and Dorothy gave her without any hesitation. She told that now I can three wishes to be fulfilled from the Winged monkeys, "first I will send Scarecrow to Emerald City to rule there, second wish to send Tin Woodman to the land of winkies to rule them wisely and well. I will also send the big Lion to her forest as a king of the beasts as the third wish. As far as Dorothy is concerned, she has her silver shoes, if she wishes to send her to her aunty and uncle." The good witch said, "If you had known the power of these silver shoes, you could have gone back to your Aunt Em the very first day you came to this country. The silver shoes have wonderful powers, 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 where ever you wish to go".Doorothy was so excited. Glinda the good witch stepped down from her ruby throne to give the little girl a goodbye 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 goodbye she clapped the heels of her shoes together three times, saying "take me home to Aunt Em." Instantly she was whirling 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."Good gracious" she cried. She was sitting on the broad Kansas prairies, and just before her was the new farmhouse Uncle Henry built after the cyclone had carried away the old one. Uncle was milking the cows in the barnyard. 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.
HOME AGAIN
Aunt Em had just come out of the house to water the cabbages when she looked up and saw Dorothy running towards 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, and here is Toto, too, and oh, Aunt Em! I am so glad to be at home again," said Dorothy.
