Tip was trying to think, for it was a great disappointment to him to find his journey so suddenly brought to an end. "I must certainly get to the Emerald City," he said to the boatman; "but how can I cross the river if you do not take me?" TIP WAS TRYING TO THINK FOR IT WAS A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT TO HIM TO FIND HIS JOURNEY SO SUDDENLY BROUGHT TO AN END I MUST CERTAINLY GET TO THE EMERALD CITY HE SAID TO THE BOATMAN BUT HOW CAN I CROSS THE RIVER IF YOU DO NOT TAKE ME
orse and the journey was resumed. Tip noticed that the purple tint of the grass and trees had now faded to a dull lavender, and before long this lavender appeared to take on a greenish tinge that gradually brightened as they drew nearer to the great City where the Scarecrow ruled. The little party had traveled but a short two miles upon their way when the road of yellow brick was parted by a broad and swift river. Tip was puzzled how to cross over; but after a time he discovered a man in a ferry-boat approaching from the other side of the stream. When the man reached the bank Tip asked: “Will you row us to the other side?” “Yes, if you have money,” returned the ferryman, whose face looked cross and disagreeable. “But I have no money,” said Tip. “None at all?” inquired the man. “None at all,” answered the boy. “Then I’ll not break my back rowing you over,” said the ferryman, decidedly. “What a nice man!” remarked the Pumpkinhead, smilingly. The ferryman stared at him, but made no reply. INHEAD WAS AGAIN PERCHED UPON THE BACK OF THE SAW HORSE AND THE JOURNEY WAS RESUMED TIP NOTICED THAT THE PURPLE TINT OF THE GRASS AND TREES HAD NOW FADED TO A DULL LAVENDER AND BEFORE LONG THIS LAVENDER APPEARED TO TAKE ON A GREENISH TINGE THAT GRADUALLY BRIGHTENED AS THEY DREW NEARER TO THE GREAT CITY WHERE THE SCARECROW RULED THE LITTLE PARTY HAD TRAVELLED BUT A SHORT TWO MILES UPON THEIR WAY WHEN THE ROAD OF YELLOW BRICK WAS PARTED BY A BROAD AND SWIFT RIVER TIP WAS PUZZLED HOW TO CROSS OVER BUT AFTER A TIME HE DISCOVERED A MAN IN A FERRYBOAT APPROACHING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREAM WHEN THE MAN REACHED THE BANK TIP ASKED WILL YOU ROW US TO THE OTHER SIDE YES IF YOU HAVE MONEY RETURNED THE FERRYMAN WHOSE FACE LOOKED CROSS AND DISAGREEABLE BUT I HAVE NO MONEY NONE AT ALL INQUIRED THE MAN NONE AT ALL ANSWERED THE BOY THEN I'LL NOT BREAK MY BACK ROLL YOU OVER SAID THE FERRYMAN DECIDEDLY WHAT A NICE MAN REMARKED THE PUMPKINHEAD SMILINGLY THE FERRYMAN STARED AT HIM BUT MADE NO REPLY
