"That is true," said the Scarecrow. "You see," he continued confidentially, "I don't mind my legs and arms and body being stuffed, because I cannot get hurt. If anyone treads on my toes or sticks a pin into me, it doesn't matter, for I can't feel it. But I do not want people to call me a fool, and if my head stays stuffed with straw instead of with brains, as yours is, how am I ever to know anything?"<\/p>\n

"I understand how you feel," said the little girl, who was truly sorry for him. "If you will come with me I'll ask Oz to do all he can for you."<\/p>\n

"Thank you," he answered gratefully.<\/p>\n

They walked back to the road. Dorothy helped him over the fence, and they started along the path of yellow brick for the Emerald City.<\/p>\n

Toto did not like this addition to the party at first. He smelled around the stuffed man as if he suspected there might be a nest of rats in the straw, and he often growled in an unfriendly way at the Scarecrow.<\/p>\n

"Don't mind Toto," said Dorothy to her new friend. "He never bites."<\/p>\n

"Oh, I'm not afraid," replied the Scarecrow. "He can't hurt the straw. Do let me carry that basket for you. I shall not mind it, for I can't get tired. I'll tell you a secret," he continued, as he walked along. "There is only one thing in the world I am afraid of."<\/p>\n

"What is that?" asked Dorothy; "the Munchkin farmer who made you?"<\/p>\n

"No," answered the Scarecrow; "it's a lighted match."<\/h3>\n
