Here he gazed at the Scarecrow; who crawled to the edge of the nest and looked over. Below them was a sheer precipice several hundred feet in depth. HERE HE GAZED AT THE SCARECROW WHO CRAWLED TO THE EDGE OF THE NEST AND LOOKED OVER BELOW THEM WAS A SHEER PRECIPICE SEVERAL HUNDRED FEET IN DEPTH
 good fortune they fell only a few feet; for underneath them was a monster nest, built by a colony of Jackdaws in a hollow ledge of rock; so none of them—not even the Pumpkinhead—was injured by the fall. For Jack found his precious head resting on the soft breast of the Scarecrow, which made an excellent cushion; and Tip fell on a mass of leaves and papers, which saved him from injury. The Woggle-Bug had bumped his round head against the Saw-Horse, but without causing him more than a moment’s inconvenience. The Tin Woodman was at first much alarmed; but finding he had escaped without even a scratch upon his beautiful nickle-plate he at once regained his accustomed cheerfulness and turned to address his comrades. “Our Journey had ended rather suddenly,” said he; “and we cannot justly blame our friend the Gump for our accident, because he did the best he could under the circumstances. But how we are ever to escape from this nest I must leave to someone with better brains than I possess.” TELY DUMPED OUT BY GOOD FORTUNE THEY FELL ONLY A FEW FEET FOR UNDERNEATH HIM WAS A MONSTER NEST BUILT BY A COLONY OF JACKDAWS IN A HOLLOW LEDGE OF ROCK SO NONE OF THEM NOT EVEN THE PUMPKINHEAD WAS INJURED BY THE FALL FOR JACK FOUND HIS PRECIOUS HEAD RESTING ON THE SOFT BREAST OF THE SCARECROW WHICH MADE AN EXCELLENT CUSHION AND TIP FELL ON A MASS OF LEAVES AND PAPERS WHICH SAVED HIM FROM INJURY THE WOGGLE BUG HAD BUMPED HIS ROUND HEAD AGAINST THE SAW HORSE BUT WITHOUT CAUSING HIM MORE THAN A MOMENT'S INCONVENIENCE THE TIN WOODMAN WAS AT FIRST MUCH ALARMED BUT FINDING HE HAD ESCAPED WITHOUT EVEN A SCRATCH UPON HIS BEAUTIFUL NICKEL PLATE HE HAD AT ONCE REGAINED HIS ACCUSTOMED CHEERFULNESS AND TURNED TO ADDRESS HIS COMRADES OUR JOURNEY HAD ENDED RATHER SUDDENLY SAID HE AND WE CANNOT JUSTLY BLAME OUR FRIEND THE GUMP FOR OUR ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE DID THE BEST HE COULD UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES BUT HOW WE ARE EVER TO ESCAPE FROM THIS NEST I MUST LEAVE TO SOMEONE WITH BETTER BRAINS THAN I POSSESS
