Don't you want to, Toto ?" "Woof!" said Toto, and that meant "no." "Not just one word, Toto, to prove you're as any other animal in Oz ?" "Woof!" "Just one word, Toto--and then you may run away." He looked at her steadily a moment.
"All right.

Here I go!" he said, and darted away as swift as an arrow.
Dorothy clapped her hands in delight, while Betsy and Ozma both laughed heartily at her pleasure and the success of her experiment.

Arm in arm they sauntered away through the beautiful gardens of the palace, where magnificent flowers bloomed in abundance and fountains shot their silvery sprays far into the air.

And by and by, as they turned a corner, they came upon Shaggy Man and his brother, who were seated together upon a golden bench.
The two arose to bow respectfully as the Ruler of Oz approached them.
"How are you enjoying our Land of Oz ?" Ozma asked the stranger.
"I am very happy here, Your Highness," replied Shaggy's brother.

"Also I am very grateful to you for permitting me to live in this delightful place." "You must thank Shaggy for that," said Ozma.
