I'm afraid I'll have to have some new stuffing tomorrow," observed the
Scarecrow, sinking dejectedly on his throne. "Tappy, my dear boy, after this
never leave me alone, do you hear?" Happy Toko made no reply. He had

his loved Land of Oz.

dispersed, and soon no one in the palace was awake but the Scarecrow. His
straw was wet and soggy, and even his excellent brains felt damp and dull.
"If it weren't for Tappy Oko, how lonely I should be." He stared through the
long, dim, empty hall with its shimmering silver screens and vases. "I
wonder what little Dorothy is doing," sighed the Scarecrow wistfully.
