Ditches, Kalidahs and the River

1 At dusk the Great Forest fills the view; one tiny campfire glints under a tall tree

4 Five small travelers stand at the brink of a vast, shadowed ditch that splits the dim green forest and breaks the yellow brick road.

5 The Cowardly Lion soars over the ditch with the Scarecrow clinging to his mane

6 The trembling Lion names the Kalidahs as the Scarecrow points to the felled-tree bridge

9 Trembling but standing his ground, the Cowardly Lion turns on the two Kalidahs and lets out a roar so mighty that Dorothy screams and the Scarecrow tumbles backward.

12 The felled tree drops into the gulf with both snarling Kalidahs clinging to it, while the four travelers watch from the near edge of the ditch.

15 After the dark forest and the Kalidahs, Dorothy and her three companions reach a swift sunny river and see the flowering country and the yellow brick road on the far bank.

18 Under moonlit trees on the riverbank, Dorothy sleeps in a nest of grass, guarded by her friends.
