El Maravilloso Mago de Oz
Capítulo 7, Página 3
“I
will,”
declared
the
Scarecrow,
“for,
if
you
found
that
you
could
not
jump
over
the
gulf,
Dorothy
would
be
killed,
or
the
Tin
Woodman
badly
dented
on
the
rocks
below.
But
if
I
am
on
your
back
it
will
not
matter
so
much,
for
the
fall
would
not
hurt
me
at
all.”
“I
am
terribly
afraid
of
falling,
myself,”
said
the
Cowardly
Lion,
“but
I
suppose
there
is
nothing
to
do
but
try
it.
So
get
on
my
back
and
we
will
make
the
attempt.”
The
Scarecrow
sat
upon
the
Lion’s
back,
and
the
big
beast
walked
to
the
edge
of
the
gulf
and
crouched
down.
“Why
don’t
you
run
and
jump?”
asked
the
Scarecrow.
“Because
that
isn’t
the
way
we
Lions
do
these
things,”
he
replied.
Then
giving
a
great
spring,
he
shot
through
the
air
and
landed
safely
on
the
other
side.
They
were
all
greatly
pleased
to
see
how
easily
he
did
it,
and
after
the
Scarecrow
had
got
down
from
his
back
the
Lion
sprang
across
the
ditch
again.
Dorothy
thought
she
would
go
next;
so
she
took
Toto
in
her
arms
and
climbed
on
the
Lion’s
back,
holding
tightly
to
his
mane
with
one
hand.
The
next
moment
it
seemed
as
if
she
were
flying
through
the
air;
and
then,
before
she
had
time
to
think
about
it,
she
was
safe
on
the
other
side.
The
Lion
went
back
a
third
time
and
got
the
Tin
Woodman,
and
then
they
all
sat
down
for
a
few
moments
to
give
the
beast
a
chance
to
rest,
for
his
great
leaps
had
made
his
breath
short,
and
he
panted
like
a
big
dog
that
has
been
running
too
long.
