30.绿野仙踪-5-1
When Dorothy awoke the sun was shining through the trees and Toto had long been out chasing brids around him and squirrels.
She sat up and looked aound her.
Scarecrow still standing patiently in his corner, waiting for her.
'We must go and search for water,' she said to him.
'Why do you want water?' he asked.
'To wash my face clean after the dust od the road, and to drink, so the dry bread will not stick in my throat.'
'It must be inconvenitent to be made of flesh,' said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, ' for you must sleep, and eat and drink.
However, you have brains, and it worth a lot of bother to be able to think properly.'
They left the cottage and walked through the trees until they found a little spring of clear water, where Dorothy drank and bathed and ate her breakfast.
She saw there was not much bread in the basket,
and the girl was thankful the scarefrow did not have to eat anything,
for there was scarely enough for herself and Toto for the day.
When she had finished her meal, and was about to go to the road of yellow brick,
she was startled to hear a deep groan near by.
'What was that?' she asked timidly.
'I cannot imagine,' replied the Scarecrow,' but we can go and see.'
Just then another groan reached their ears, and the sound seemed to come from behind them.
They turned and walked through the forest a few steps,
when Dorothy discovered something shining in a ray of sunshine that fell between the trees.
