Our

little

party

of

travelers

awakened

the

next

morning

refreshed

and

full

of

hope,

and

Dorothy

breakfasted

like

a

princess

off

peaches

and

plums

from

the

trees

beside

the

river.

Behind

them

was

the

dark

forest

they

had

passed

safely

through,

although

they

had

suffered

many

discouragements;

but

before

them

was

a

lovely,

sunny

country

that

seemed

to

beckon

them

on

to

the

Emerald

City.

To

be

sure,

the

broad

river

now

cut

them

off

from

this

beautiful

land.

But

the

raft

was

nearly

done,

and

after

the

Tin

Woodman

had

cut

a

few

more

logs

and

fastened

them

together

with

wooden

pins,

they

were

ready

to

start.

Dorothy

sat

down

in

the

middle

of

the

raft

and

held

Toto

in

her

arms.

When

the

Cowardly

Lion

stepped

upon

the

raft

it

tipped

badly,

for

he

was

big

and

heavy;

but

the

Scarecrow

and

the

Tin

Woodman

stood

upon

the

other

end

to

steady

it,

and

they

had

long

poles

in

their

hands

to

push

the

raft

through

the

water.
