"When Mrs.
Yoop transformed me, she didn't realize I should have more stuffing." "Who is Mrs.Yoop ?" inquired Jinjur, pausing with the broom still upraised.
"A Giantess in the Gillikin Country." "Oh; I begin to understand.

And Mrs.Yoop transformed you?
You are really the famous Scarecrow of Oz." "I was, Jinjur.

Just now I'm as you see me--a miserable little Brown Bear with a poor quality of stuffing.

That Tin Owl is none other than our dear Tin Woodman--Nick Chopper, the Emperor of the Winkies--while this Green Monkey is a nice little boy we recently became acquainted with, Woot the Wanderer." "And I," said the Canary, flying close to Jinjur, "am Polychrome, the Daughter of the Rainbow, in the form of a bird." "Goodness me!" cried Jinjur, amazed; "that Giantess must be a powerful Sorceress, and as wicked as she is powerful." "She's a yookoohoo," said Polychrome.

"Fortunately, we managed to escape from her castle, and we are now on our way to Glinda the Good to see if she possesses the power to restore us to our former shapes." "Then I must beg your pardons; all of you must forgive me," said Jinjur, putting away the broom.
