Dorothy

Dorothy had only one other dress, but that happened to be clean and was hanging on a peg beside her bed.

It was gingham, with checks of white and blue; and although the blue was somewhat faded

with many washings, it was still a pretty frock. The girl washed herself carefully,

dressed herself in the clean gingham, and tied her pink sunbonnet on her head.

She took a little basket and filled it with bread from the cupboard,

laying a white cloth over the top.

Then she looked down at her feet and noticed how old and worn her shoes were.

"They surely will never do for a long journey, Toto," she said. And Toto looked up into her face with his little black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew what she meant.

At that moment Dorothy saw lying on the table the silver shoes that had belonged to the Witch of the East.

"I wonder if they will fit me," she said to Toto. "They would be just the thing to take a long walk in, for they could not wear out."
