.Thesetears ran slowly down his face and over the hinges of his jaw, andthere they rusted.When Dorothy presently asked him a questionthe Tin Woodman could not open his mouth, for his jaws weretightly rusted together.He became greatly frightened at this andTopPage No 28made many motions to Dorothy to relieve him, but she could notunderstand.The Lion was also puzzled to know what was wrong.But the Scarecrow seized the oil-can from Dorothy's basket andoiled the Woodman's jaws, so that after a few moments he couldtalk as well as before."This will serve me a lesson," said he, "to look where I step.Page 22 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlFor if I should kill another bug or beetle I should surely cry again,and crying rusts my jaws so that I cannot speak."Thereafter he walked very carefully, with his eyes on the road,and when he saw a tiny ant toiling by he would step over it, so asnot to harm it.The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, andtherefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything."You people with hearts," he said, "have something to guide you, andneed never do wrong; but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful.When Oz gives me a heart of course I needn't mind so much."7.The Journey to the Great OzThey were obliged to camp out that night under a large tree inthe forest, for there were no houses near.The tree made a good,thick covering to protect them from the dew, and the Tin Woodmanchopped a great pile of wood with his axe and Dorothy built asplendid fire that warmed her and made her feel less lonely.Sheand Toto ate the last of their bread, and now she did not knowwhat they would do for breakfast."If you wish," said the Lion, "I will go into the forest andkill a deer for you.You can roast it by the fire, since yourtastes are so peculiar that you prefer cooked food, and then youwill have a very good breakfast.""Don't! Please don't," begged the Tin Woodman."I shouldcertainly weep if you killed a poor deer, and then my jaws wouldrust again."But the Lion went away into the forest and found his own supper,and no one ever knew what it was, for he didn't mention it.And theScarecrow found a tree full of nuts and filled Dorothy's basket with them,so that she would not be hungry for a long time.She thought this wasvery kind and thoughtful of the Scarecrow, but she laughed heartily at theTopPage No 29awkward way in which the poor creature picked up the nuts.His paddedhands were so clumsy and the nuts were so small that he dropped almostas many as he put in the basket.But the Scarecrow did not mind how longit took him to fill the basket, for it enabled him to keep away from the fire,as he feared a spark might get into his straw and burn him up.So he keptagood distance away from the flames, and only came near to cover Dorothywithdry leaves when she lay down to sleep.These kept her very snug andwarm,and she slept soundly until morning.When it was daylight, the girl bathed her face in a little rippling brook,and soon after they all started toward the Emerald City.This was to be an eventful day for the travelers.They hadhardly been walking an hour when they saw before them a greatditch that crossed the road and divided the forest as far as theycould see on either side.It was a very wide ditch, and when theycrept up to the edge and looked into it they could see it was alsovery deep, and there were many big, jagged rocks at the bottom.The sides were so steep that none of them could climb down, andfor a moment it seemed that their journey must end."What shall we do?" asked Dorothy despairingly."I haven't the faintest idea," said the Tin Woodman, and thePage 23 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlLion shook his shaggy mane and looked thoughtful.But the Scarecrow said, "We cannot fly, that is certain.Neither can we climb down into this great ditch.Therefore,if we cannot jump over it, we must stop where we are.""I think I could jump over it," said the Cowardly Lion, aftermeasuring the distance carefully in his mind."Then we are all right," answered the Scarecrow, "for you cancarry us all over on your back, one at a time.""Well, I'll try it," said the Lion [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
