They went to bed quite early and slept soundly until daylight, when they were ①( )( )akened by the crowing of a green cock that lived in the back yard of the Palace, and the cackling of a hen that had ②( )aid a green egg.
12. The Search for the Wicked Witch
The soldier with the green whiskers led them through the streets of the Emerald City until they reached the room where the Guardian of the Gates lived. This ③offic( )( ) unlocked their spectacles to put them back in his great box, and then he ④( )olitely opened the gate for our friends.
"Which road ⑤( )eads to the Wicked Witch of the West?" asked Dorothy.
"There is no road," answered the Guardian of the Gates. "No one ever wishes to go that way."
"How, then, are we to find her?" inquired the girl.
"That will be easy," replied the man, "for when she knows you are in the country of the Winkies she will find you, and make you all her ⑥( )laves."
"Perhaps not," said the Scarecrow, "for we ⑦mea( ) to destroy her."
"Oh, that is different," said the Guardian of the Gates. "No one has ever destroyed her before, so I ⑧( )aturally thought she would make slaves of you, as she has of the rest. But take care; for she is wicked and fierce, and may not allow you to destroy her. Keep to the West, where the sun sets, and you cannot ⑨fai( ) to find her."
They ⑩( )hanked him and bade him good-bye, and turned toward the West, walking over fields of soft grass dotted here and there with daisies and buttercups. Dorothy still ⑪wor( ) the pretty silk dress she had put on in the palace, but now, to her surprise, she found it was no ⑫( )onger green, but pure white. The ribbon around Toto's neck had also lost its green color and was as white as Dorothy's dress.
The Emerald City was soon left far ⑬( )ehind. As they ⑭( )dvanced the ground became rougher and hillier, for there were no farms nor houses in this country of the West, and the ground was untilled.
In the afternoon the sun shone hot in their faces, for there were no trees to offer them ⑮sha( )( ); so that before night Dorothy and Toto and the Lion were tired, and lay down upon the grass and fell asleep, with the Woodman and the Scarecrow keeping ⑯( )atch.
Now the Wicked Witch of the West had but one eye, yet that was as powerful as a ⑰( )( )lescope, and could see everywhere. So, as she sat in the door of her castle, she happened to look around and saw Dorothy lying asleep, with her friends all about her. They were a long ⑱( )( )stance off, but the Wicked Witch was angry to find them in her country; so she blew upon a silver ⑲whist( )( ) that hung around her neck.
At ⑳on( )( ) there came running to her from all directions a pack of great wolves. They had long legs and fierce eyes and sharp teeth.
