"I'm beginning to lose my patience with you, little girl," said the
leader. "Now give me your shoes. You, too," he said to the Scarecrow.
"Now look here," said the Lion. "Stop pushing my friends around. Who do
you think you are?"
"Who are you?" asked the Octapong leader.
"I'm King of the Beasts," said the Lion defiantly.
"Well I'm King of the Octapong," said the leader.
"Is that so?" said the Lion, gearing up for a fight.
"Yes, that's so," said the Octapong.
"Well," said the Lion.
"Well what?" said the Octapong.
"Nothing," snarled the Lion. "Just well."
"What's the use of a well without a bucket?" said the Octapong.
"What?" said the Lion.
"I said, what's the use of a well without a bucket?" he shouted.
"A well without a -- ho-ha bucket ... a ho-ho bucket," roared the Lion
with laughter. "That's very funny!"
"Do you think so?" said the Octapong.
"Yes, I do," said the Lion.
"Well thank you," said the Octapong appreciatively. "You know, we've
been a little hasty; you seem like nice people, and we have a very good
stock of shoes on hand right now.
