The writer of these Oz stories
has received a little note from
Princess Dorothy of Oz which,
for a time, has made him feel
rather disconcerted. The note
was written on a broad, white
feather from a stork's wing,
and it said:
"YOU WILL NEVER
HEAR ANYTHING MORE ABOUT OZ,
BECAUSE WE ARE
NOW CUT OFF FOREVER FROM ALL
THE REST OF THE WORLD. BUT TOTO
AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU AND
ALL THE OTHER CHILDREN WHO LOVE
US.
"DOROTHY GALE."
This seemed to me too bad,
at first, for Oz is a very interesting
fairyland. Still, we have no
right to feel grieved, for we
have had enough of the history
of the Land of Oz to fill six
story books, and from its quaint
people and their strange adventures
we have been able to learn many
useful and amusing things.
So good luck to little Dorothy
and her companions. May they
live long in their invisible
country and be very happy!
