"I believe it's magic," said Tip, positively, "and that someone is playing a trick upon us. I've known old Mombi do things like that before. Probably it's nothing more than an illusion, and there are no sunflowers here at all." "Then let us shut our eyes and walk forward," suggested the Woodman. I BELIEVE IT'S MAGIC SAID TIP POSITIVELY AND THAT SOME ONE IS PLAYING A TRICK UPON US I'VE KNOWN AN OLD MOMBY TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT BEFORE PROBABLY IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN AN ILLUSION AND THERE ARE NO SUNFLOWERS HERE AT ALL THEN LET US SHUT OUR EYES AND WALK FORWARD SUGGESTED THE WOODMAN
ng and wondering, the Tin Woodman uttered a cry of impatience and advanced with swinging axe to cut down the stalks before him. But now the sunflowers suddenly stopped their rapid whirling, and the travelers plainly saw a girl’s face appear in the center of each flower. These lovely faces looked upon the astonished band with mocking smiles, and then burst into a chorus of merry laughter at the dismay their appearance caused. “Stop! stop!” cried Tip, seizing the Woodman’s arm; “they’re alive! they’re girls!” At that moment the flowers began whirling again, and the faces faded away and were lost in the rapid revolutions. The Tin Woodman dropped his axe and sat down upon the ground. “It would be heartless to chop down those pretty creatures,” said he, despondently. “and yet I do not know how else we can proceed upon our way” “They looked to me strangely like the faces of the Army of Revolt,” mused the Scarecrow. “But I cannot conceive how the girls could have followed us here so quickly.” EXCLAIMED TIP WHILE THEY PAUSED HESITATING WITH WONDER THE TIN WOODMAN UTTERED A CRY OF IMPATIENCE AND ADVANCED WITH SWINGING AXE TO CUT DOWN THE STALKS BEFORE HIM BUT NOW THE SUNFLOWERS SUDDENLY STOPPED THEIR RAPID WHIRLING AND THE TRAVELLERS PLAINLY SAW A GIRL'S FACE APPEAR IN THE CENTRE OF EACH FLOWER THESE LOVELY FACES LOOKED UPON THE ASTONISHED BAND WITH MOCKING SMILES AND THEN BURST INTO A CHORUS OF MERRY LAUGHTER AT THE DISMAY THEIR APPEARANCE CAUSED STOP STOP CRIED TIP SEIZING THE WOODMAN'S ARM THEY'RE ALIVE THEY'RE GIRLS AT THAT MOMENT THE FLOWERS BEGAN WHIRLING AGAIN AND THE FACES FADED AWAY AND WERE LOST IN THE RAPID REVOLUTIONS THE TIN WOODMAN DROPPED HIS AXE AND SAT DOWN UPON THE GROUND IT WOULD BE HEARTLESS TO SHOP DOWN THOSE PRETTY CREATURES SAID HE DESPONDENTLY YET I DO NOT KNOW HOW ELSE WE CAN PROCEED UPON OUR WAY THEY LOOK TO ME STRANGELY LIKE THE FACES OF THE ARMY OF REVOLT MUSED THE SCARECROW BUT I CANNOT CONCEIVE HOW THE GIRLS COULD HAVE FOLLOWED US HERE SO QUICKLY
