When, at last , he walked into Dorothy's room and thanked her for rescuing him,
he was so pleased that he wept tears of joy, and Dorothy had to wipe every tear carefully from his face with her apron,
so his joints would not be rusted.
At the same time her own tears fell thick and fast at the joy of meeting her old friend again,
and these tears did not need to wiped away.
As for the Lion, he wiped his eyes so often with the tip of his tail that it came quiet wet,
and he was obliged to go out into the courtyard and hold it in the sun till it dried.
"If we only had the Sacrecrow with us again," said the Tin Woodman, when Dorothy had finished telling him everything that happened, "I should be quite happy."
"We must try to find him," said the girl.
So she called the Winkies to help her,
and they walked all that day and part of the next until they came to the tall tree in the branches of which the Winged Monkeys had tossed the Scarecrow's clothes.
It was a very tall tree, and the trunk was so smooth that no one could climb it;
but the Woodmen said at once, "I'll chop it down, and then we can get the Scarecrow's clothes."
Now while the tinsmiths had been at work mending the Woodman himself,
another the Winkies, who was a goldsmith, had made an axe-handle of solid gold and fitted it to the Woodman's axe,
instead of the old broken handle. Others polished the blade until all the rust was removed and it glistened like burnished silver.
