Oz could not take Dorothy home. He made a balloon of silk, but when it rose Toto ran after a kitten and Dorothy could not get in. So the friends went south to Glinda, the Good Witch. On the way the Scarecrow became the ruler of the Emerald City, the Tin Woodman became the ruler of the Winkies, and the Lion became the king of the forest. Glinda looked at Dorothy kindly. "Your silver shoes can carry you anywhere in three steps," she said. "You have had the power all the time." Dorothy kissed her friends and cried a little. Then she took Toto in her arms, knocked the heels together three times and said, "Take me home to Aunt Em." She was rolling over the grass, and there stood the new farmhouse, and Aunt Em was running towards her.
