“ We can see the grass, and the flowers, and the stretch of plain before us, and we can still see Mount Munch in the distance; but we cannot see ourselves or one another.""Well, what are we to do about it?" demanded Woot."I think this magic affects only a small part of the plain," replied Polychrome; "perhaps there is only a streak of the country where an enchantment makes people become invisible. ”

“ But the creature sniffed the odor of the straw and drew nearer and nearer to them until he reached the Tin Woodman, on one end of the line. It was a big beast and it smelled of the Tin Woodman and grated two rows of enormous teeth against the Emperor's tin body."Bah! that's not straw," said the harsh voice, and the beast advanced along the line to Woot."Meat! Pooh, you're no good! I can't eat meat," grumbled the beast, and passed on to Polychrome."Sweetmeats and perfume—cobwebs and dew! Nothing to eat in a fairy like you," said the creature. ”

"And what good is the straw man to you, or to himself, when the ditch keeps you from going any further?""Well, we can go back again," suggested Woot."True," said the Hip-po; "and if you do, you'll be as disappointed as I am. That's some comfort, anyhow."The travelers looked at the beast, and then they looked across the ditch at the level plain beyond. ”
