"Dorothy didn't try to make him drop his sword."
"I think he was so embarrassed," said Dorothy, "that he was just trying
to save face in front of his men."
Dorothy was about to sit down to rest, but the light began to fade
rather quickly. "Perhaps we should be on our way," said the girl.
"No question about it," said the Tin Woodman.
"Absolutely!" said the Scarecrow.
As they started down the other side of the mountain, the path became
extremely slippery and steep. Suddenly the Tin Woodman started to slide
very fast. He called out to Dorothy: "Help! Dorothy! I can't stop!"
At that moment, the Scarecrow slipped and sat down with a thump. Then
Dorothy did the same. She and the Scarecrow sped down the mountain path
so fast they caught up with the Tin Woodman. The impact caused him to
fall backwards into Scarecrow's lap.
"Wheee..." They all yelled as they whizzed around the hairpin bends.
"What fun!" cried Dorothy.
As they neared the bottom, their descent slowed. They came to a stop in
front of a big sign:
*YOU ARE NOW LEAVING*
* DAINTY CHINA COUNTRY.
