30.绿野仙踪-19-4

This did not hurt the Scarecrow, but it surprised him, and he looked rather dizzy when Dorothy pickhed him up.
"Here is another space between the trees," called the Lion.
"Let me try it first," said the Scarecrow, "fot it doesn't hurt me to get thrown about."
He walked up to another tree, as she spoke, but its ranches immediately seized him and tossed him back again.
"This is strange," exclaimed Dorothy. "What shall we do?"
"The trees seem to have made up their minds to fight us, and stop our journey," remarked the Lion.
"I believe I will try it myself," said the Woodman, and shouldering his axe, he marched up to the first tree that had handled the Scarecrow so roughly.
When a bid branch bent down to seize him the Woodman chopped at it so fiercely that he cut it in two.
An once the tree began shaking all its branches as if in pain, and the Tin Woodman passed safely under it.
"Come on!" he shouted to the others. "Be quick!"
They all ran forward and passed under the tree without injury, except Toto, who was cayght by a small branch and shaken until he howled.
But the Wodman promptly chopped off the branch and set the little dog free.
