"Is that so ?" "I saw it in Glinda's Record Book," said Dorothy.

"So now you trot out the King and Queen of Pingaree as quick as you can." "No," persisted the contrary Nome King, shaking his head.

"I won't do it.

Ask me anything else and I'll try to please you, but I can't allow these friendly enemies to triumph over me.
"In that case," said Dorothy, beginning to remove the cover from her basket, "I'll show you some eggs." "Eggs!" screamed the Nome King in horror.

"Have you eggs in that basket ?" "A dozen of 'em," replied Dorothy.
"Then keep them there--I beg--I implore you!--and I'll do anything you say," pleaded Kaliko, his teeth chattering so that he could hardly speak.
"Send for the King and Queen of Pingaree," said Dorothy.
"Go, Klik," commanded the Nome King, and Klik ran away in great haste, for he was almost as much frightened as his master.
It was an affecting scene when the unfortunate King and Queen of Pingaree entered the chamber and with sobs and tears of joy embraced their brave and adventurous son.
