30.绿野仙踪-11-9

So the Scarecrow followed him and was admitted into the great Throne room, where he saw, sitting in the emerald throne, a most lovely Lady.
She was dressed in green silk gauze and wore upon her flowing green locks a crown of jewels.
Growing from her shoulders were wings, gorgeous in color and so light that they fluttered if the slightest breath of air reached them.
When the Scarecrow had bowed, as prettily as his straw stuffing would let him, before this beautiful creature, she looked upon him sweetly, and said:
"I am Oz, the Great and Terrible. Who are you, and why do you seek me?"
Not the Scarecrow, who had expected to see the great Head Dorothy had told him of, was much astonished; but he answered her bravely.
"I am only a Scarecrow, stuffed with straw.
Therefore I have no brains, and I come to you praying that you will put brains in my head instead of straw, so that I may becomes as much as a man as any other in your dominions."
"Why should I do this for you?" asked the Lady.
"Because you are wise and powerful, and no one else can help me," answered the Scarecrow.
"I never grant favors without some return," said Oz; "but this much I will promise.
If you will kill for me the Wicked Witch of the Weat; I will bestow upon you a great many brains, and such good brains that you will be the wieset man in all the Land of Oz."
