these words they all looked around, only to find that they were indeed surrounded by a field of tall stalks, every stalk bearing at its top a gigantic sunflower. And not only were these flowers almost blinding in their vivid hues of red and gold, but each one whirled around upon its stalk like a miniature wind-mill, completely dazzling the vision of the beholders and so mystifying them that they knew not which way to turn. “It’s witchcraft!” exclaimed Tip.

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!” ELD BEFORE IN ALL MY LIFE AT THESE WORDS THEY ALL LOOKED AROUND ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY WERE INDEED SURROUNDED BY A FIELD OF TALL STALKS EVERY STALK BEARING AT ITS TOP A GIGANTIC SUNFLOWER AND NOT ONLY WERE THESE FLOWERS ALMOST BLINDING IN THEIR VIVID HUES OF RED AND GOLD BUT EACH ONE WHIRLED AROUND UPON ITS STALK LIKE A MINIATURE WINDMILL COMPLETELY DAZZLING THE VISION OF THE BEHOLDERS AND SO MYSTIFYING THEM THAT THEY KNEW NOT WHICH WAY TO TURN IT'S WITCHCRAFT 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
