22、“Is it dangerous here?” Dorothy asked. “No, no,” said the tinman. “I live in the forest, and I can tell you there is nothing to be afraid of.”

“Well, I live in the forest too,” said the lion, “and I can tell you that there are many things to be afraid of. And this part of the forest is even more dangerous because of the Kalidahs.”

“Who are the Kalidahs?” asked Dorothy.

“They are animals with heads like tigers, and bodies like bears. If we meet any of them, we will be in very big trouble.” “Ah, don’t scare the girl, lion,” said the scarecrow. “We’re not in danger as long as we stay together. Dorothy, you and Toto go ahead and get some sleep. The tinman and I will stay up, and watch over you.”

The next morning, they started out again very early. But they did not get very far, when they found a huge hole in the road. It was very deep, and much too dangerous to climb over, and far too wide to walk around. Tinman went and cut down a tall tree. Then they put it over the hole. And just as Dorothy was going to step on the tree, the lion shouted, “Oh no! I see three Kalidahs running this way! Quick, Dorothy, get going!”

Dorothy took Toto in her arms, and walked as quickly as she could across the tree. The scarecrow came after, and then the tinman. The lion turned to face the Kalidahs, who were now very close, but seeing how big they were, he changed his mind, and ran across the tree.

“Tinman,” said the scarecrow, “the Kalidahs are starting to cross the hole too! Use your axe to cut our end of the tree!”
