The fellow was exceedingly grateful, for had he lost that ninth life it would have been the end of him; so he begged permission to furnish me with the stylish costume I now wear. It fits very nicely, does it not?” and the Woggle-Bug stood up and turned himself around slowly, that all might examine his person. “He must have been a good tailor,” said the Scarecrow, somewhat enviously. “He was a good-hearted tailor, at any rate,” observed Nick Chopper. “But where were you going, when you met us?” GLE BUG I HAVE NEVER CEASED TO CONGRATULATE MYSELF FOR ESCAPING WHILE I WAS HIGHLY MAGNIFIED FOR EVEN MY EXCESSIVE KNOWLEDGE WOULD HAVE PROVED OF LITTLE USE TO ME HAD I REMAINED A TINY INSIGNIFICANT INSECT I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE SAID TIP LOOKING AT THE WOGGLE BUG WITH A PUZZLED EXPRESSION THAT INSECTS WORE CLOTHES NOR DO THEY IN THEIR NATURAL STATE RETURNED THE STRANGER BUT IN THE COURSE OF MY WANDERINGS I HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO SAVE THE NINTH LIFE OF A TAILOR TAILORS HAVING LIKE CATS NINE LIVES AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THE FELLOW WAS EXCEEDINGLY GRATEFUL FOR HAD HE LOST THAT NINTH LIFE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF HIM SO HE BEGGED PERMISSION TO FURNISH ME WITH THE STYLISH COSTUME I NOW WEAR IT FITS VERY NICELY DOES IT NOT AND THE WOGGLE BUG STOOD UP AND TURNED HIMSELF AROUND SLOWLY SO THAT ALL MIGHT EXAMINE HIS PERSON HE MUST HAVE BEEN A GOOD TAILOR SAID THE SCARECROW SOMEWHAT ENVIOUSLY HE WAS A GOOD HEARTED TAILOR AT ANY RATE OBSERVED NICK CHOPPER BUT WHERE WERE YOU GOING WHEN YOU MET US
