Chapter II
The Pinheads * The following morning, bright and early, Dorothy and her friends started out for the forest where the Cowardly Lion lived. The Lion had stayed there to help all the animals who lived in the forest to fight a fierce monster, and was now King of the Beasts. "Perhaps we should order a Pinhead river and raft to take us as far as the Dainty China Country," said the Scarecrow. "But I can't swim," replied the Tin Woodman. "What if I fall overboard?"
