THE LAND OF OZ
THE LAND OF OZ
Long after Dorothy, Toto and the rest of the gang left the
land of Oz, Good Witch Glenda of the North was horribly
bored. She spent her days just floating around in her
little bubble gazing at the land of Oz, hoping for someone
to help or inspire. One day, while floating around in her
bubble, she passed over a pond and saw a lonely little
yellow toad perched on a lilly pad. He looked extremely
depressed... She floated down to the toad and asked him
what could be the matter. "Oh Good Witch Glenda, you are
right. I AM horribly depressed. I am completely colored
yellow, whereas all the other little toads in the pond are
green. Won't you please help me?"
Mustering up all of her kind heartedness and good will, she
waved her magic wand over the toad, and his color changed to
green. That is, all except his 'private parts.' They
remained bright yellow. "Good Witch Glenda! Thank you so
much, but my lower extremities! They're still yellow, while
the rest of me is green!" "Oh, I'm sorry, dear little toad.
My powers are strong, but apparently not strong enough. The
only person who may be able to help you might be the Wizard,
the powerful Wizard of Oz." So, in hopeful anticipation, he
began hopping off toward the castle, where the Wizard of Oz
resided.
Glenda the Good Witch continued her surveillance of the land
of Oz, floating around in her bubble. As she was passing
over a pasture, she looked down to spot a pink elephant who
looked horribly depressed. "Oh, Good Witch Glenda, you are
right. I AM horribly depressed. I am completely colored
pink, whereas all the other elephants in the pasture are
gray. Won't you please help me?" Mustering up all of her
kind heartedness and good will, she waved her magic wand over
the elephant, and his color changed to gray... That is, all
except his 'private parts.' They remained cheerfully pink.
"Good Witch Glenda! Thank you so much, but my lower
extremities! They're so pink while the rest of me is gray!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, dear elephant. My powers are strong, but
apparently not strong enough. The only person who may be
able to help you might be the Wizard, the powerful Wizard of
Oz." "Well, that's fine and dandy, but where may I find
this fabled 'Wizard of Oz?'"
... And Glenda, The Good Witch said: "Just follow the
yellow-pricked toad!"...
