Contents The Cowardly Lion and the Hungry Tiger 15 Little Dorothy and Toto 39 Tiktok and the Nome King 63 Ozma and the Little Wizard 87 Jack Pumpkinhead and the Sawhorse 111 The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman 135These two beasts are Ozma's chief guardians, but as everyone loves thebeautiful girl Princess there has never been any disturbance in thegreat Throne Room, or anything for the guardians to do but look fierceand solemn and keep quiet until the Royal Audience is over and thepeople go away to their homes.Of course no one would dare be naughty while the huge Lion and Tigercrouched beside the throne; but the fact is, the people of Oz are veryseldom naughty. So Ozma's big guards are more ornamental than useful,and no one realizes that better than the beasts themselves.One day, after everybody had left the Throne Room except the CowardlyLion and the Hungry Tiger, the Lion yawned and said to his friend:I'm getting tired of this job. No one is afraid of us and no one paysany attention to us.That is true, replied the big Tiger, purring softly. We might as wellbe in the thick jungles where we were born, as trying to protect Ozmawhen she needs no protection. And I'm dreadfully hungry all the time.You have enough to eat, I'm sure, said the Lion, swaying his tailslowly back and forth.Enough, perhaps; but not the kind of food I long for, answered theTiger. What I'm hungry for is fat babies. I have a great desire to eata few fat babies. Then, perhaps, the people of Oz would fear me and I'dbecome more important.
