Dorothy carried shoes into the house and place them on the table.
Then she came out again to the Munchkins and said:
'I am anxious to get back to my aunt and uncle, for I am sure the will worry about me.
Can you help me find my way?'

'It is the some at the South,' said another, 'for I have been there and seen it.
The South is the country of the Quadings.'
'I am told,' said the third man, 'That it is the same at the West.
And that country, where the winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way.
