The others were not at all afraid; but the Scarecrow at once decided to save those of the party who were liable to be injured by the angry birds. So he commanded Tip to take off Jack's head and lie down with it in the bottom of the nest, and when this was done he ordered the Woggle Bug to lie beside Tip. Nick Chopper, who knew from past experience Just what to do, then took the Scarecrow to pieces (all except his head) and scattered the straw over Tip and the Woggle Bug, completely covering their bodies.

And if they find us here they will surely kill us in their anger.” “I was afraid of this!” moaned the Pumpkinhead. “My time has come!” “And mine, also!” said the Woggle-Bug; “for Jackdaws are the greatest enemies of my race.” CTION OF SMALL ARTICLES FOR WHICH THE BIRDS COULD HAVE NO USE BUT WHICH THE THIEVING JACKDAWS HAD STOLEN DURING MANY YEARS FROM THE HOMES OF MEN AND AS THE NEST WAS SAFELY HIDDEN WHERE NO HUMAN BEING COULD REACH IT THIS LOST PROPERTY WOULD NEVER BE RECOVERED THE WOGGLE BUG SEARCHING AMONG THE RUBBISH FOR THE JACKDAWS STOLE USELESS THINGS AS WELL AS VALUABLE ONES TURNED UP WITH HIS FOOT A BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND NECKLACE THIS WAS SO GREATLY ADMIRED BY THE TIN WOODMAN THAT THE WOGGLE BUG PRESENTED IT TO HIM WITH A GRACEFUL SPEECH AFTER WHICH THE WOODMAN HUNG IT ROUND HIS NECK WITH MUCH PRIDE REJOICING EXCEEDINGLY WHEN THE BIG DIAMONDS GLITTERED IN THE SUN'S RAYS BUT NOW THEY HEARD A GREAT JABBERING AND FLOPPING OF WINGS AND AS THE SOUND DREW NEARER TO THEM TIP EXCLAIMED THE JACKDAWS ARE COMING AND IF THEY FIND US THEY WILL SURELY KILL US IN THEIR ANGER I WAS AFRAID OF THIS MOANED THE PUMPKINHEAD MY TIME HAS COME AND MINE ALSO SAID THE WOGGLE BUG FOR JACKDAWS ARE THE GREATEST ENEMIES OF MY RACE
