El Maravilloso Mago de Oz
Capítulo 9, Página 6
They
came
from
all
directions,
and
there
were
thousands
of
them:
big
mice
and
little
mice
and
middle-sized
mice;
and
each
one
brought
a
piece
of
string
in
his
mouth.
It
was
about
this
time
that
Dorothy
woke
from
her
long
sleep
and
opened
her
eyes.
She
was
greatly
astonished
to
find
herself
lying
upon
the
grass,
with
thousands
of
mice
standing
around
and
looking
at
her
timidly.
But
the
Scarecrow
told
her
about
everything,
and
turning
to
the
dignified
little
Mouse,
he
said:
“Permit
me
to
introduce
to
you
her
Majesty,
the
Queen.”
Dorothy
nodded
gravely
and
the
Queen
made
a
curtsy,
after
which
she
became
quite
friendly
with
the
little
girl.
The
Scarecrow
and
the
Woodman
now
began
to
fasten
the
mice
to
the
truck,
using
the
strings
they
had
brought.
One
end
of
a
string
was
tied
around
the
neck
of
each
mouse
and
the
other
end
to
the
truck.
Of
course
the
truck
was
a
thousand
times
bigger
than
any
of
the
mice
who
were
to
draw
it;
but
when
all
the
mice
had
been
harnessed,
they
were
able
to
pull
it
quite
easily.
Even
the
Scarecrow
and
the
Tin
Woodman
could
sit
on
it,
and
were
drawn
swiftly
by
their
queer
little
horses
to
the
place
where
the
Lion
lay
asleep.
After
a
great
deal
of
hard
work,
for
the
Lion
was
heavy,
they
managed
to
get
him
up
on
the
truck.
Then
the
Queen
hurriedly
gave
her
people
the
order
to
start,
for
she
feared
if
the
mice
stayed
among
the
poppies
too
long
they
also
would
fall
asleep.
At
first
the
little
creatures,
many
though
they
were,
could
hardly
stir
the
heavily
loaded
truck;
but
the
Woodman
and
the
Scarecrow
both
pushed
from
behind,
and
they
got
along
better.
Soon
they
rolled
the
Lion
out
of
the
poppy
bed
to
the
green
fields,
where
he
could
breathe
the
sweet,
fresh
air
again,
instead
of
the
poisonous
scent
of
the
flowers.
