Close to the Emerald City

My tests on some WIZARD OF OZ theme dioramas.

 

 

So, the Lion being fully refreshed, and feeling quite himself again,

they all started upon the journey, greatly enjoying the walk through

the soft, fresh grass; and it was not long before they reached the road

of yellow brick and turned again toward the Emerald City where the

Great Oz dwelt.

 

The road was smooth and well paved, now, and the country about was

beautiful, so that the travelers rejoiced in leaving the forest far

behind, and with it the many dangers they had met in its gloomy shades.

Once more they could see fences built beside the road; but these were

painted green, and when they came to a small house, in which a farmer

evidently lived, that also was painted green. They passed by several

of these houses during the afternoon, and sometimes people came to the

doors and looked at them as if they would like to ask questions; but no

one came near them nor spoke to them because of the great Lion, of

which they were very much afraid. The people were all dressed in

clothing of a lovely emerald-green color and wore peaked hats like

those of the Munchkins.

 

"This must be the Land of Oz," said Dorothy, "and we are surely getting

near the Emerald City."
