The sheets were made of blue cloth, and Dorothy slept soundly in them till morning, with Toto curled on the blue rug beside her.
She ate a heary breakfastm and watched a wee Munchkin baby, who played with Toto and pulled his tail and crowed and laughed in a way that greatly amused Dorothy.
Toto was a fine curiosity to all the people, for they had never seen a dog before.
'How far is it to the Emerald City?' the girl asked.
'I do not know.' answered Boq gravely, 'for I have never been there.
It is better for people to keep away from Oz, unless they have business with him.
But it is a long way to the Emerald City, and it will take you many days.
The country here is rich and pleasant, but you must pass through rough and dangerous places before you reach the end of your journey.'
This worried Dorothy a little, but she knew that only the Great Oz could help her get to Kansas again, so she bravely resolved not to turn back.
She bade her friend good-bye, and again started along the road of yellow brick.
When she had gone several miles she thought she would stopped to rest, and so climbed to the top of the fence beside the road and sat down.
There was a great cornfield beyong the fence and not far away she saw a Scarecrow, placed high on a pole to keep the birds from the ripe cron.
Dorothy leaned her chin upon her hand and gazed thoughtfully at the Scarecrow.
Its head was a small sack stuffed with straw, with eyes, nose, and mouth painted on it to repersent a face.
