Save the scarecrow
When Dorothy was left along she began to feel hungry.
So she went to the cupboard and cut herself some bread, which she spread with butter.
She gave some to Tobo, and taking a pail from the shelf she carried down to the little brook and filled with clear, sparking water.
Toto ran over to the trees and began to bark at the birds sitting there.
Dorothy went to get him, and saw such delicious fruit hanging from the branches that she gathered some of it, finding it just hwat she wanted to help out her breakfast.
Then she went back to the house, an hacing helped herself and Toto to a good drink of the cool, clear water, she set about making ready for the journey to the City of Emeralds.
Dorothy had only one other dress, but that happened to be clean and was hanging on a peg beside her bed.
It was gingham, with checks of white and blue; and although the blue was somewhat faded with many washings, it was still frock.
The girl washed herself carefully, dressed herself in the clean gingham, and tied her pink sunbonnet on her head.
She took a little basket and filled with bread from the cupboard, laying a white cloth over the top.
Then she looked down at her feet and noticed how old and worn her shoes were.
'They surely will never do for a long journey, Toto,' she said.
And Toto looked up into her face with his little black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew waht she meant.
At that moment Dorothy saw laying on the table the silver shoes that had belonged to the Witch of the East.
'I wonder if they will fit me,' she said to Toto.
'They would be just the thing to take a long walk in, for thye could not wear out.'
