Oorfene Deuce built himself a quadrangular house, painted it brown, and planted a stuffed eagle on the roof.

Deuce had the idea to settle in a cave and declare himself the successor of Gingema and the ruler of the Blue Country - because the timid Munchkins will not be able to resist this.

From above, the eyes of an owl looked down at him, glowing yellow in the darkness of the cave.

One evening a violent storm broke out.

Then Deuce armed himself with an ax and began to cut the plants under the root.

Struck by a sudden insight, Oorfene threw off his boots.

Nails torn out of the wall crackled, horns fell to the floor and rushed at Oorfene Deuce with wild fury.

Oorfene began to restore order in the room. He picked up a wooden clown he had once made from the floor. The clown had a fierce face and a mouth with bared sharp teeth, and therefore no one bought it.

Well, I think you will not do as many troubles as horns, - said Oorfene and sprinkled the clown with powder.

Having done this, he put the toy on the table, and he himself sat down on a stool nearby and dreamed. He came to his senses from a sharp pain: the revived toy grabbed his finger with its teeth.

Oorfene Deuce made plans for the future. Of course, he must now take a higher position in the Blue Country.

Oorfene harnessed Thumper to the cart, took Guamoko and the clown with him, and rode into Cogida with great pomp. The iron pans rumbled as the cart bounced over the bumps, and the startled Munchkins ran in droves.

Oorfene Deuce is a powerful wizard, they whispered. - He revived a tame bear that died last year ...

Having made the second soldier, Oorfene Deuce thought: it will take many months to create his army. And he couldn't wait to go hiking. And he decided to turn the first two soldiers into apprentices.

I am General Lan Pirot, commander of Oorfene Deuce's invincible army. You are Oorfene Deuce, my lord and lord... And why are you my lord? - suddenly doubted the general. - Maybe the other way around? I am taller than you, and I have more strength ...

Arranging the cans of paints around him and spreading out the brushes, Oorfene set to work. He decided to paint a sample of one soldier and see what happens. He painted a yellow uniform with white buttons and a belt on a wooden body, and pants and boots on his legs.

When the ruler showed his work to the wooden soldiers, they were delighted and wished to be brought in the same form.

It was difficult for Oorfene alone to cope with the work, so he attracted all the local painters to her.

The first platoon was painted yellow, the second platoon blue, the third platoon green, the fourth platoon orange, and the fifth platoon purple.

The painted army was delighted, but then an unexpected difficulty arose. The blockheads looked like one another, like two peas in a pod, and if the commanders used to distinguish them by the location of the knots, now the knots were painted over, and this possibility disappeared.

Oorfene Deuce, however, did not lose his head. He drew a serial number on the chest and back of each soldier.

The wooden soldiers were accustomed to walking on level ground, and the ravine did not seem dangerous to them. The first line of blockheads with Corporal Arum raised their right legs into the air, hovered over the ravine for a moment, and then hooted down in unison. A few seconds later, a roar announced that the brave warriors had reached their goal. It taught the other blockheads nothing. The second line moved after the first, and Oorfene, his face contorted with horror, yelled:

General, stop the army!

The water near the shore was deep and flowed quickly. She picked up the general, corporals, soldiers and dragged them, somersaulting and pushing each other.

A huge flock of jackdaws, magpies and sparrows flew into the soldiers of Oorfene Deuce. The birds rushed about in front of their faces, scratched their backs with their claws, perched on their heads, trying to peck out their glassy eyes.

Lined up in two rows, the blockheads swung the pillar like a battering ram and hit the gate.

The Scarecrow, embracing with his soft arms the faithful assistants of Dean Gior and Faramant, reasoned:

If I were in Oorfene Deuce's place, I would order my soldiers to protect their heads from stones with wooden shields.

And then armfuls of burning straw flew at them. The wooden soldiers had already suffered disaster from the water, as they did not know what it was. They had no idea about fire either: while Oorfene Deuce was making them, he was very afraid of fire and did not even heat the stove in the house. Now that caution has turned against him.

In the morning, the inhabitants woke up at the sound of a trumpet, looked out the windows and heard how the herald, in whom they recognized the servant of Bilan, announced that from now on the powerful Oorfene Deuce rules the Emerald City, to whom everyone must render unquestioning obedience under fear of severe punishment.

The Scarecrow the Wise sat at that time in the palace basement.

A few minutes later the Scarecrow was brought in. The Tin Woodman looked at his torn dress, from which shreds of straw stuck out, at his helplessly lowered hands, and he felt unbearably sorry for his friend, the recent ruler of the Emerald City, who was proud of the wonderful brains received from Goodwin.

The soldiers, led by a red-faced corporal, led the captives, and Kaggi-Karr flew into the forest and there somehow quenched her hunger.

The Tin Woodman said:

Writing requires a soft but strong piece of wood that can be tied around your leg.

The short and fat Ruf Bilan turned purple from fear of the stern gaze of the ruler and muttered:

Oorfene the First, the mighty King of the Emerald City and self-made countries, the Owner, whose boots rest against the Universe ...

Your Majesty's favorite dishes are ready! he exclaimed loudly and placed the dishes in front of the king.

The courtiers trembled when they saw what the cook had brought. On one dish stood a pile of smoked mice with twisted tails, on the other lay black slippery leeches.

Oorfene Deuce would lock himself in a special room in the evening and there he would cut out faces for heads, and then attach green, red, violet glass buttons instead of eyes.

Oorfene Deuce and his wooden soldiers

PART ONE

MIRACULOUS POWDER

LONE JOINER

Somewhere in the depths of the vast North American continent, surrounded by a vast desert and a ring of impregnable mountains, lay Fairyland. Good and evil fairies lived there, animals and birds talked there, it was summer all year round, and under the ever-hot sun, unprecedented fruits grew on the trees.

The south-west of the Magic Land was inhabited by munchkins - timid and sweet little men, in which an adult man did not exceed the height of an eight-year-old boy from those parts where people do not know miracles.

The ruler of the Blue Munchkin Country was Gingema, an evil sorceress who lived in a deep dark cave, to which the munchkins were afraid to approach. But to everyone's surprise, there was a man who built a house for himself not far from the sorceress's dwelling. It was a certain Oorfene Deuce.

From his kind, soft-hearted fellow tribesmen, Urfin, even in childhood, was distinguished by a grumpy character. He rarely played with the guys, and if he entered the game, he demanded that everyone obey him. And usually the game with his participation ended in a fight.

Urfin's parents died early, and the boy was taken as an apprentice by a carpenter who lived in the village of Kogida. Growing up, Oorfene became more and more unaccommodating, and when he studied the carpentry craft, he left his teacher without regret, without even thanking him for his care. However, a kind craftsman gave him the tools and everything he needed to get started.

Oorfene became a skilled carpenter, he made tables, benches, agricultural implements and much more. But oddly enough, the evil and grumpy character of the master was transferred to his products. The pitchforks he made tried to butt his owner in the side, the shovels pounded him on the forehead, the rake strove to hook on his legs and knock him over. Oorfene Deuce has lost customers.

He started making toys. But the hares, bears and deer he carved had such ferocious muzzles that the children, looking at them, were frightened and then cried all night. Toys gathered dust in Oorfene's closet, no one bought them.

Oorfene Deuce got very angry, abandoned his craft and stopped showing up in the village. He began to live by the fruits of his garden

The lone carpenter hated his relatives so much that he tried not to be like them in anything. The munchkins lived in round blue houses with gabled roofs and crystal balls on top. Oorfene Deuce built himself a quadrangular house, painted it brown, and planted a stuffed eagle on the roof of the house.

The Munchkins wore blue caftans and blue over the knee boots, while Oorfene's caftan and over the knee boots were green. The munchkins had pointed, wide-brimmed hats, with silver bells dangling under the brim. Oorfene Deuce hated bells and wore a brimless hat. The soft-hearted Munchkins wept at every opportunity, and no one ever shed a tear in Oorfene's gloomy eyes.

Several years have passed. Once Oorfene Deuce came to Gingema and asked the old sorceress to take him into service. The evil sorceress was very happy - for centuries not a single munchkin volunteered to serve Gingem, and all her orders were carried out only under the threat of punishment. Now the sorceress had an assistant who willingly performed all sorts of assignments. And the more unpleasant Gingema's orders were for the munchkins, the more zealously Oorfene passed them on to the munchkins.

The gloomy carpenter especially liked to go to the villages of the Blue Country and impose tribute on the inhabitants - so and so many snakes, mice, frogs, leeches and spiders.

Munchkins were terribly afraid of snakes, spiders and leeches. Having received the order to collect them, the little timid men began to sob. At the same time, they took off their hats and put them on the ground so that the bells with their ringing would not prevent them from crying. And Oorfene looked at the tears of his relatives and laughed angrily. Then, on the appointed day, he would appear with large baskets, collect tribute and take it to Gingema's cave. There, this goodness either went into food for the witch, or was used for evil magic.

One day, the evil Gingema, who hated the whole human race, decided to destroy him. To do this, she conjured a monstrous hurricane and sent it over the mountains, over the desert, so that it destroyed all cities, all villages and buried people under their rubble.

But this did not happen. In the north-west of the Enchanted Land lived a kind sorceress Villina. She learned about the insidious plan of Gingema and neutralized him. Villina allowed the hurricane to capture only one small caravan on the Kansas steppe, taken off its wheels and put on the ground. By order of Villina, the whirlwind brought the house to the land of munchkins, threw it on Gingema's head, and the evil sorceress died.

To the surprise of Villina, who came to see how her witchcraft worked, the little girl Ellie turned out to be in the house. She ran for her beloved dog Totoshka, into the house just before the whirlwind picked him up and carried him away.

Villina could not bring the girl home and advised her to go to the Emerald City, the center of the Magic Land, for help. A variety of rumors circulated about the ruler of the Emerald City, Goodwin, the great and terrible. Rumor had it that Goodwin could do nothing to rain fire upon the fields, or fill all the houses with rats and toads. And so they talked about Goodwin in a whisper and with an eye, in case the wizard was offended by some careless word.

Ellie listened to the good fairy and went to Goodwin in the hope that the wizard is not so scary as they talk about him, and he will help her return to Kansas. The girl did not have to meet the gloomy carpenter Oorfene Deuce.

On the day when Ellie's house crushed Gingem, Oorfene was not near the sorceress: he went on her business to a remote part of the Blue Country. The news of the death of the sorceress caused Deuce both grief and joy. He regretted that he had lost a powerful patroness, but now he expected to take advantage of the wealth and power of the sorceress.

The area around the cave was deserted. Ellie and Toto went to the Emerald City.

Deuce had the idea of settling in a cave and declaring himself Gingema's successor and ruler of the Blue Country.

After all, timid munchkins will not be able to resist this.

But the smoky cave with bunches of smoked mice on studs, with a stuffed crocodile under the ceiling and other paraphernalia of a magical craft looked so damp and gloomy that Oorfene shuddered.

Brr! .. - he muttered. - Live in this grave? No, thank you very much!

Oorfene began looking for the witch's silver slippers, as he knew that Gingema valued them the most.

But in vain he ransacked the cave, there were no shoes.

Uh-uh-uh! - mockingly was heard from the high platform, and Oorfene shuddered.

From above, the eyes of an owl looked down at him, glowing yellow in the darkness of the cave.

Is that you Guam?

Not Guam, but Guamokolatokint, - the eagle owl objected grumpily.

Where are the other owls?

Have flown away.

Why did you stay?

What should I do in the forest? Catching birds like simple owls and owls? Phi! .. I'm too old and wise for such a troublesome task.

Juice had a sly thought.

Listen, Guam .. - Owl was silent. - Guamoco. - Silence. - Guamocolate!

I listen to you, - the owl responded.

Do you want to live with me? I will feed you mice and tender chicks.

Not for nothing, of course? - the wise bird muttered.

People, seeing that you serve me, will consider me a magician.

Well thought out, - said the eagle owl. - And to begin my service, I will say that you are looking for silver shoes in vain, they were carried away by a small animal of an unknown breed.

Looking sharply at Oorfene, the owl asked:

When will you start eating frogs and leeches?

What? Oorfene was surprised. - There are leeches? What for?

Then, that this food is supposed to evil wizards by law - do you remember how conscientiously Gingema ate mice and ate leeches?

Oorfene remembered and shuddered, the food of the old sorceress always disgusted him, and during the breakfasts and dinners of Gingema, he left the cave under some pretext.

Look, Guamoco... Guamocolatocnit? - he said ingratiatingly, - but is it possible to do without it?

Oorfene with a sigh collected some of the witch's possessions, put the owl on his shoulder and went home.

The met munchkins, seeing the gloomy Oorfene, frightenedly shied aside.

Returning to his place, Oorfene lived in his house with an owl, not meeting people, not loving anyone, not loved by anyone.

EXTRAORDINARY PLANT

One evening a violent storm broke out. Thinking that this storm was caused by the evil Oorfene Deuce, the munchkins shivered in fear and waited for their houses to collapse.

But nothing like that happened. But, getting up in the morning and looking around the garden, Oorfene Deuce saw in the garden a few bright green sprouts of an unusual appearance. Obviously, their seeds were brought into the garden by a hurricane. But from what part of the country they flew in, forever remained a mystery.

How long have I weeded the beds, - grumbled Oorfene Deuce. And here come the weeds again. Well, wait, I'll deal with you tonight.

Oorfene went to the forest, where he had snares placed and spent the whole day there. Secretly from Guam, he took with him a frying pan and oil, fried a fat rabbit and ate it with relish.

Returning home, Deuce gasped in surprise. On the lettuce bed, powerful bright green plants with oblong fleshy leaves rose to the height of a man.

That's the thing! cried Oorfene. These weeds didn't waste any time.

He walked over to the bed and yanked on one of the plants to pull it up by the roots. But it was not there. The plant did not even give in, and Oorfene Deuce stabbed both hands with small sharp thorns that covered the trunk and leaves.

Oorfene got angry, pulled the thorns out of his palms, put on leather mittens and again began to pull the plant out of the garden. But he didn't have the strength. Then Deuce armed himself with an ax and began to cut the plants under the root.

“Boar, boar, boar,” the ax cut into the succulent stems and the plants fell to the ground.

Well, well, well! - Oorfene Deuce triumphed. He fought the weeds as if they were living enemies.

When the massacre was over, night fell and the tired Oorfene went to bed.

The next morning he went out onto the porch and the hair on his head stood on end in amazement.

And on the lettuce bed, where the roots of unknown weeds remained, and on the smoothly trodden path, where the carpenter dragged the cut branches - everywhere tall plants with bright green fleshy leaves stood in a dense wall.

Oh, you are! - Urfin roared angrily and rushed into battle.

Cut down stems and uprooted roots, the carpenter chopped into small pieces on a block of wood, which served for chopping firewood. At the end of the garden, behind the trees, was a wasteland. There Oorfene Deuce dragged the plants chopped into porridge and threw them in anger in all directions.

The work went on all day, but finally the garden was cleared of plant invaders and tired Oorfene Deuce went to rest. He slept badly: he was tormented by nightmares, it seemed to him that unknown plants surrounded him and tried to injure him with thorns.

Getting up at dawn, the carpenter first went to the wasteland to see what was happening there. Opening the gate, he groaned softly and sank helplessly to the ground, shocked by what he saw. The life force of unfamiliar plants was extraordinary. The barren land of the wasteland was completely covered with young green growth.

When Oorfene the day before in a rage scattered green crumble around, his spray fell on fence posts, on tree trunks: these sprays took root there and young plants looked out from there.

Struck by a sudden insight, Oorfene threw off his boots. Tiny sprouts were densely green on their soles. The sprouts peeked out from the seams of the clothes. The log for chopping wood bristled all over with shoots. Deuce rushed into the closet: the handle of the ax was also covered with young growth.

Oorfene sat on the porch and thought. What to do? Leave here and settle somewhere else? But it is a pity to leave a comfortable roomy house and a well-kept garden.

Oorfene went to the owl. He sat on a perch, squinting his eyes against the daylight. Deuce spoke about his trouble. Owl swaying on the perch, pondered for a long time.

Try roasting them in the sun, he advised after a while.

Oorfene Deuce finely chopped several young shoots, folded them on an iron sheet with curved edges, and carried them out into the open area under the hot rays of the sun.

Let's see if you grow here! he muttered angrily under his breath. - If you germinate, I will leave these places.

The plants didn't germinate. The roots did not have the strength to go through the sheet of iron. A few hours later, the hot sun of Fairyland turned the green mass into a brown powder.

Still, it’s not in vain that I feed Guam, ”said Oorfene, satisfied. - Wise bird...

Having seized a wheelbarrow, Deuce went to Kogida to collect iron pans from the hostesses, on which pies are baked. He returned with a wheelbarrow filled to the brim with baking sheets.

Oorfene shook his fist at his plant enemies:

Now I will deal with you! he hissed through clenched teeth.

Hard labor began right away. Oorfene Deuce did not rest his hands from dawn to dusk, only taking a short break during the day.

He acted very carefully. Having outlined a small area, he carefully cleared it of plants, leaving not the slightest particle. He crushed the plants dug out with roots in an iron basin and laid them out to dry on baking sheets arranged in even rows in a sunny place. Oorfene poured the brown powder into iron buckets and covered them with iron lids. Perseverance and perseverance did their job. The carpenter did not give the enemy the slightest loophole.

The area occupied by bright green thorny weeds was shrinking every day. And then the moment came when the last bush turned into a brown powder.

For a week of work, Deuce was so exhausted that he could hardly stand on his feet. Stepping over the threshold, Oorfene stumbled, the bucket tipped over and part of the brown powder spilled onto the bearskin that lay at the threshold instead of a carpet.

The carpenter did not see this, he removed the last bucket, closed it as usual, dragged himself to the bed and fell into a dead sleep.

He woke up from the fact that someone insistently tugged at his hand hanging from the bed. Opening his eyes, Oorfene was numb with horror: a bear was standing by the bed and holding the sleeve of his caftan in his teeth.

“I am dead,” thought the carpenter. - He will bite me ... But where did the bear come from in the house? The door was closed…”

Minutes passed, the bear did not show hostile intentions, but only dragged Oorfene by the sleeve, and suddenly a hoarse bass voice was heard:

Master! It's time to wake up, you've been sleeping too long!

Oorfene Deuce was so astounded that he rolled head over heels off the bed: the bearskin that used to lie at the threshold stood on all fours by the carpenter's bed and shook his head.

“It is the skin of my pet bear that has come to life. She walks, talks... But why is that? Really spilled powder? .. "

To test his guess, Urfin turned to the owl:

Guam... Guamoko!

Finn was silent.

Listen, you cheeky bird! yelled the carpenter fiercely. "I've had enough of breaking my tongue, completely pronouncing your damned name!" If you don't want to answer, get out into the woods and get your own food!

Flynn replied conciliatoryly:

Okay, don't boil! Guamoco, so Guamoco, but I do not agree to anything less. What did you want to ask me?

Is it true that the vitality of an unknown plant is so great that even its powder revived the skin?

Truth. I heard about this plant from the wisest of the owls, my great-grandfather Karitofilaksi ...

Enough! yelled Oorfene. - Shut up! And you, skin, get out of your place, don't bother me thinking!

The skin obediently moved to the threshold and lay down in its usual place.

That's the thing! muttered Oorfene Deuce, sitting down at the table and resting his shaggy head in his hands. - The question now is: is this thing useful to me or not?

After much thought, the ambitious carpenter decided that this thing was useful for him, as it gave him great power over things.

But it was still necessary to check how great the power of the life-giving powder is. On the table stood a stuffed parrot made by Oorfene with blue, red and green feathers. The carpenter took out a pinch of brown powder and sprinkled it on the head and back of the effigy.

An amazing thing happened. The powder smoked with a slight hiss and began to disappear. Its brown specks seemed to melt, being sucked into the parrot's skin between the feathers. The scarecrow moved, raised its head, looked around... The resurrected parrot flapped its wings and flew out the window with a sharp cry.

Valid! shouted Oorfene Deuce in delight. - Works! What else would you like to try?

Huge deer antlers were nailed to the wall in the form of decoration, and Oorfene generously sprinkled them with life-giving powder.

Let's see what happens, - the carpenter grinned.

The result did not have to wait very long. Again, a light smoke over the horns, the disappearance of grains ... Nails torn out of the wall crackled, the horns fell to the floor and rushed at Oorfene Deuce with wild fury.

Guard! yelled the frightened carpenter, running away from the horns.

But those with unexpected dexterity pursued him everywhere: on the bed, on the table and under the table. The bearskin cowered in fear at the closed door.

Master! she screamed. - Open the door!..

Dodging blows, Oorfene pushed back the bolt and flew out onto the porch. Behind him, a bearskin roared, and then the horns jumped wildly. All this mixed up on the porch in a screaming and somersaulting heap, rolled down the steps. And from the house came the mocking hoot of an owl. The horns knocked down the gate and rushed towards the forest in huge leaps. Oorfene Deuce, bruised and bruised, got up from the ground.

Damn it! he groaned, feeling his sides. - It's too much!

The skin reproachfully said:

Don't you know, master, that now is the time when the deer are terribly pugnacious. It's also good that you survived ... Well, now the deer in the forest will get from these horns! And the bearskin laughed hoarsely.

From this, Oorfene concluded that the powder should be handled with care and not revive anything. The room was in complete ruin: everything was broken, overturned, the dishes were broken, and fluff from the torn pillow was spinning in the air.

Deuce angrily said to the owl:

Why didn't you warn me that it's dangerous to revive antlers?

The angry bird replied:

Guamocolatokint would have warned, and Guamoco lacked the insight to do so.

Deciding to settle accounts with the owl for his deceit later, Oorfene began to restore order in the room. He picked up the wooden clown he had made from the floor. The clown had a ferocious face and a mouth with bared sharp teeth, and therefore no one bought it.

Well, I think you won't do as many troubles as horns, - said Oorfene and sprinkled the clown with powder.

Having done this, he put the toy on the table, and he himself sat down on a stool nearby and dreamed. He came to his senses from a sharp pain: the revived toy dug its teeth into his finger.

And you're there, you bastard! - Oorfene Deuce got furious and threw the clown on the floor with a flourish.

He hobbled into a far corner, hid behind a chest and remained sitting there, shaking his arms, legs and head for his own pleasure.

THE AMBITIOUS PLANS OF URFIN JUSS

Once Oorfene sat on the porch and listened to how the bearskin and Guamoco were arguing in the house.

You, owl, don't love your master, grumbled the skin. - He was silent on purpose when he revived the horns, but he knew that it was dangerous. And yet you are cunning, owl, you are cunning. I saw enough of your brother when I lived in the forest. Just wait, I'll get to you, then you'll see ...

Uh-uh-uh! - mocked the owl from a high perch. - Well, I scared you, empty talker!

That I'm empty, that's true, - the skin admitted contritely. - I’ll ask the owner to stuff me with sawdust, otherwise I’m very light on the go, no stability, any breeze will knock me off my feet ...

“And this is well thought out,” Deuce remarked to himself. “It will have to be done.”

Well, there you are, splurge! Shut up!

The disputants continued to scold in whispers.

Oorfene Deuce made plans for the future. Of course, he must now take a higher position in the Blue Country. Oorfene knew that after the death of Gingema, the Munchkins chose the respected old man Prem Kokus as ruler. Under the guidance of the good Caucus, the munchkins lived easily and freely.

Returning to the house, Oorfene went around the room. The owl and the bearskin fell silent. Deuce spoke out loud.

Why are the Munchkins ruled by Prem Kokus? Is he smarter than me? Is he such a skilled craftsman as I am? Does he have the same stately posture? - Oorfene Deuce proudly straightened up, puffed out his chest, puffed out his cheeks. - No, Premu Kokusu is far from me!

Bearskin obligingly confirmed:

That's right, master, you have a very impressive appearance!

They don't ask you, - barked Oorfene and continued: - Prem Kokus is much richer than me, it's true: he has large fields where many people work. But now that I have the life-giving powder, I can make as many workers as I want, they will clear the forest and I will also have fields ... wait!

But what if not workers, but soldiers?.. Yes, yes, yes! I will make myself fierce, strong soldiers, and then may the munchkins dare not recognize me as their ruler!

Oorfene was running about the room in agitation.

Even the crappy little clown bit me so hard it still hurts, he thought. - And if you make wooden people in human height, teach them how to use weapons. Why, then I can measure my strength with Goodwin himself ... "

But the carpenter immediately timidly covered his mouth: it seemed to him that he had said these bold words aloud. What if the great and terrible heard them? Oorfene sank his head into his shoulders and expected that he was about to be struck by an invisible hand. But everything was calm and Deuce was relieved in his soul.

“You have to be careful, though,” he thought. - For the first time, the Blue Country is enough for me. And there ... and there ... "

But he did not even mentally dare to stretch his dreams further.

Oorfene Deuce knew the beauty and wealth of the Emerald City. In his youth, he had a chance to visit there and captivating memories have not left him until now.

Oorfene saw amazing houses there: their upper floors hung over the lower ones and the roofs of the opposing houses almost converged over the streets. It was always gloomy and cool on the pavement, the bright rays of the sun did not penetrate there. And in this dusk, where the inhabitants of the city, all in green glasses, walked leisurely, emeralds shone with a mysterious light, interspersed not only in the walls of houses, but also between the stones of the pavements.

So many treasures! To protect them, the wizard did not maintain a large army - the entire army of Goodwin consisted of one single soldier, whose name was Din Gior. However, why did Goodwin need an army if with one look he could incinerate hordes of enemies?

Dean Gior had one concern - to look after his beard. Well, it was a beard too! She stretched to the very ground and the soldier combed her from morning to evening with a crystal comb, and sometimes braided her like a braid.

On the occasion of the palace festival, Din Gior showed soldiers' tricks on the square for the amusement of the assembled onlookers. He wielded his sword, spear, and shield so skillfully that he delighted the spectators.

When the parade ended, Oorfene went up to Dean Gior and asked him:

Honorable Dean Gior, I cannot but express my admiration to you. Tell me, where did you learn all these wisdoms?

The flattered soldier replied:

In the old days, there were often wars in our country, I read about this in the annals. I found old military manuscripts that tell how commanders taught soldiers, what military techniques were, how orders were given. I diligently studied all this, put it into practice ... and here are the results! ..

To remember the military techniques of a soldier, Oorfene decided to work with a wooden clown.

Hey clown! he shouted. - Where are you?

I'm here, master, - a squeaky voice answered from behind the chest. Are you going to fight again?

Get out, don't be afraid, I'm not angry with you.

The clown got out of his hiding place.

Now I'll see what you're capable of, - said Oorfene. - Can you march?

What is it, master?

Call me not the master, but the master! I'm telling you the same, skin!

Marching means walking, beating a step, turning right, left or around on orders.

The clown turned out to be quite quick-witted and adopted the soldier's science quickly, but he could not take a wooden saber, hewn by Deuce. The clown had no fingers, and the brushes simply ended in fists.

My future soldiers will have to make flexible fingers, Oorfene Deuce decided.

The teaching continued until the evening. Oorfene was tired of giving orders, but the wooden clown was fresh and alert all the time, he did not show any signs of fatigue. Of course, this was to be expected: how can a tree get tired?

During the lesson, the bearskin looked with admiration at its master and repeated in a whisper all his orders. And Guamoco screwed up his yellow eyes contemptuously.

Oorfene was delighted. But now he was seized by a disturbing thought: what if the life-giving powder is stolen from him? He closed the door with three bolts, boarded up the closet where the buckets of powder stood, and yet he slept uneasily, waking up at every rustle or knock.

It was possible to distribute to the munchkins the iron pans and basins taken from them, which the carpenter no longer needed. Deuce decided to stage his new appearance in Kogid solemnly. He converted the wheelbarrow into a cart in order to harness a bearskin to it. And then he remembered the overheard conversation of the skin with the owl:

Listen, skin! - he said. - I noticed that you are too light and unstable on the move and therefore I decided to stuff you with sawdust and shavings.

Oh lord, how wise you are! exclaimed the ingenuous skin in admiration.

Heaps of sawdust accumulated in Oorfene's shed and stuffing went quickly. After finishing it, Deuce thought:

Here's the skin, he said. - I'll give you a name.

Oh master! the bearskin shouted joyfully. - And this name will be as long as that of an owl?

No, Jude answered dryly. On the contrary, it will be short. You will be called Thumper, Bear Thumper.

The good-natured bear liked the new name very much.

That's lovely! he exclaimed. - I will have the most sonorous name in the Blue Country. That-po-tun! Let the owl now try to turn up his nose in front of me!

The thumper stomped heavily from the barn, grumbling happily:

Now, at least, you feel like a real bear!

Oorfene harnessed Thumper to the cart, took Guamoko and the clown with him, and rode into Cogida with great pomp. The iron pans rumbled as the cart bounced over the bumps and the startled munchkins fled in droves.

Oorfene Deuce is a powerful wizard, they whispered. - He revived a tame bear that died last year ...

Deuce listened to snatches of these conversations and his heart overflowed with pride. He ordered the housewives to sort out the trays, and they, timidly looking sideways at the bear and the owl, quickly cleared the cart.

Do you understand now who is the master in Kogid? asked Oorfene sternly.

We understand, - the munchkins humbly answered and began to cry.

At home, on reflection, Oorfene Deuce decided that he would use the powder extremely sparingly. He ordered a tinsmith to make some flasks with tight screw caps, filled them with powder, and buried the flasks under a tree in the garden. He no longer believed in the reliability of the closet.

THE BIRTH OF THE WOODEN ARMY

Oorfene Deuce understood that if he alone worked on the creation of a wooden army, even a small one, then the work would drag on for a long time.

A bear appeared in Kogid and roared with a trumpet voice. Frightened munchkins fled.

Our master, Oorfene Deuce, - announced the Stomper, - ordered that six men come to him every day to prepare logs in the forest. They must come with their axes and saws.

The Munchkins wept bitterly... and agreed.

In the forest, Oorfene Deuce marked the trees that needed to be felled and indicated how they should be sawn.

Harvested ridges from the forest to Urfin's yard were transported by Topotun. There, the carpenter arranged them to dry, but not in the sun, but in the shade so that they would not crack.

A few weeks later, when the logs were dry, Oorfene Deuce set to work. He rough-hewn the torso, made blanks for the arms and legs. Oorfene planned for the first time to limit himself to five platoons of soldiers, ten in each platoon: he believed that this was quite enough to seize power over the Blue Country.

At the head of every ten soldiers will be a corporal, and the general will command everyone - the leader of the wooden army.

Urfin wanted to make soldiers' bodies from pine, as it is easier to process, but the carpenter decided to attach oak heads to them in case the soldiers had to fight with their heads. And in general, for soldiers who do not have to reason, oak heads are most suitable.

For the corporals, Oorfene prepared a mahogany, and for the general, with great difficulty, he found a precious rosewood in the forest. Oak-headed pine soldiers will revere mahogany corporals, and these, in turn, will revere the handsome rosewood general.

The manufacture of wooden figures in full human growth was a new thing for Oorfene, and for a start he built a trial soldier. Of course, this soldier had a fierce face, and glass buttons served as his eyes. Reviving the soldier, Oorfene sprinkled his head and chest with a wonderful powder, hesitated a little, and suddenly a wooden hand, straightening up, dealt him such a strong blow that he flew off five steps. Angry, Oorfene grabbed an ax and wanted to chop up the figure lying on the floor, but immediately came to his senses.

“I’ll do my own work,” he thought. “However, he also has strength ... With such soldiers, I will be invincible!”

Having made the second soldier, Oorfene Deuce thought: it will take many months to create his wooden army. And he couldn't wait to go hiking. And he decided to turn the first two soldiers into apprentices.

URFIN JUICE AND HIS WOODEN SOLDIERS

LONE JOINER

Somewhere in the depths of the vast North American continent, surrounded by a vast desert and a ring of impregnable mountains, lay the Magic Land. Good and evil fairies lived there, animals and birds talked there, it was summer all year round, and under the ever-hot sun, unprecedented fruits grew on the trees.

The south-west of the Magic Land was inhabited by the Munchkins - timid and sweet little men, in whom an adult man did not exceed the height of an eight-year-old boy from those parts where people do not know miracles.

The ruler of the Blue Land of the Munchkins was Gingema, an evil sorceress who lived in a deep dark cave, to which the Munchkins were afraid to approach. But among them, to everyone's surprise, there was a man who built a house for himself not far from the sorceress's dwelling. It was a certain Oorfene Deuce.

Oorfene Deuce got very angry, abandoned his craft and stopped showing up in the village. He began to live by the fruits of his garden

The Munchkins wore blue caftans and blue over the knee boots, while Oorfene's caftan and over the knee boots were green. The Munchkins wore pointed, wide-brimmed hats, with silver bells dangling from the brim. Oorfene Deuce hated bells and wore a brimless hat. The soft-hearted Munchkins wept at every opportunity, and no one ever saw a tear in Oorfene's gloomy eyes.

Several years have passed. Once Oorfene Deuce came to Gingema and asked the old sorceress to take him into service. The evil sorceress was very happy: for centuries not a single Munchkin volunteered to serve Gingem, and all her orders were carried out only under the threat of punishment. Now the sorceress had an assistant who willingly performed all sorts of assignments. And the more unpleasant Gingema's orders were for the Munchkins, the more zealously Oorfene passed them on.

The gloomy carpenter especially liked to go to the villages of the Blue Country and impose tribute on the inhabitants - so and so many snakes, mice, frogs, leeches and spiders.

One day, the evil Gingema, who hated the whole human race, decided to destroy him. To do this, she conjured a monstrous hurricane and sent it over the mountains, over the desert, so that it would destroy all cities, all villages and bury all people under their rubble.

But this did not happen. In the north-west of the Enchanted Land lived a kind sorceress Villina. She learned about the insidious plan of Gingema and neutralized him. Villina allowed the hurricane to capture only one small house in the Kansas steppe - a wagon taken off its wheels and put on the ground. By order of Villina, the whirlwind brought the house to the land of the Munchkins, threw it on Gingema's head, and the evil sorceress died.

Villina could not bring the girl home and advised her to go to the Emerald City, the center of the Magic Land, for help. There were a variety of rumors about the ruler of the Emerald City, Goodwin the Great and Terrible. Rumor had it that Goodwin could do nothing to rain fire upon the fields, or fill all the houses with rats and toads. That is why they talked about Goodwin in a whisper and with caution: what if the magician is offended by some careless word.

The area around the cave was deserted. Ellie and Toto went to the Emerald City.

Deuce had the idea to settle in a cave and declare himself the successor of Gingema and the ruler of the Blue Country - because the timid Munchkins will not be able to resist this.

But the smoky cave with bunches of smoked mice on studs, with a stuffed crocodile under the ceiling and other paraphernalia of a magical craft looked so damp and gloomy that Oorfene shuddered.

Brr! .. - he muttered. - Live in this grave? - No, thank you very much!

Oorfene began looking for the witch's silver slippers, as he knew that Gingema valued them the most. But in vain he ransacked the cave, there were no shoes.

Uh-uh-uh! - mockingly was heard from a high perch, and Oorfene shuddered.

From above, the eyes of an owl looked down at him, glowing yellow in the darkness of the cave.

Is that you Guam?

Not Guam, but Guamokolatokint, - the eagle owl objected grumpily.

Where are the other owls?

Have flown away.

Why did you stay?

What should I do in the forest? Catching birds like simple owls and owls? Phi! .. I'm too old and wise for such a troublesome task.

Juice had a sly thought.

Listen, Guam .. - Owl was silent. - Guamoco... - Silence. - Guamocolate!

I listen to you, - the owl responded.

Do you want to live with me? I will feed you mice and tender chicks.

Not for nothing, of course? - the wise bird muttered.

People, seeing that you serve me, will consider me a magician.

Well thought out, - said the eagle owl. - And to begin my service, I will say that you are looking for silver shoes in vain, they were carried away by a small animal of an unknown breed.

Looking sharply at Oorfene, the owl asked:

When will you start eating frogs and leeches?

What? Oorfene was surprised. - There are leeches? What for?

Because this food is due to evil wizards by law. Do you remember how conscientiously Gingema ate mice and ate leeches?

Oorfene remembered and shuddered: the food of the old sorceress always disgusted him, and during the breakfasts and dinners of Gingema, he left the cave under some pretext.

Look, Guamoco... Guamocolatocnit? - he said ingratiatingly, - but is it possible to do without it?

Oorfene with a sigh collected some of the witch's possessions, put the owl on his shoulder and went home.

The Munchkins they met, seeing the gloomy Oorfene, frightenedly shied aside.

Returning to his place, Oorfene lived in his house with an owl, not meeting people, not loving anyone, not loved by anyone.

Part one

MIRACULOUS POWDER

EXTRAORDINARY PLANT

one evening there was a violent storm. Thinking that the evil Oorfene Deuce had caused this storm, the Munchkins cowered in fear and waited for their houses to collapse.

How long have I weeded the beds, - Oorfene Deuce grumbled, - and now these weeds are climbing again. Well, wait, I'll deal with you tonight.

Oorfene went to the forest, where he had snares placed and spent the whole day there. Secretly from Guam, he took with him a frying pan and oil, fried a fat rabbit and ate it with relish.

Returning home, Deuce gasped in surprise. On the lettuce bed, powerful bright green plants with oblong fleshy leaves rose to the height of a man.

That's the thing! cried Oorfene. Those weeds wasted no time!

He walked over to the bed and yanked on one of the plants to pull it up by the roots. It wasn't there. The plant did not even succumb, and Oorfene Deuce stabbed his hands with small sharp thorns that covered the trunk and leaves.

“Boar, boar, boar,” the ax cut into the succulent stems and the plants fell to the ground.

Well, well, well! - Oorfene Deuce triumphed. He fought the weeds as if they were living enemies.

When the massacre was over, night fell and the weary Oorfene went to bed.

The next morning he went out onto the porch and the hair on his head stood on end in amazement.

And on the lettuce bed, where the roots of unknown weeds remained, and on the smoothly trampled path, where the carpenter dragged the cut branches - everywhere tall plants with bright green fleshy leaves stood in a dense wall.

Oh, you are! - Urfin roared angrily and rushed into battle.

Cut down stems and uprooted roots, the carpenter chopped into small pieces on a block of wood, which served for chopping firewood. At the end of the garden, behind the trees, was a wasteland.

There Oorfene Deuce dragged the plants chopped into porridge and threw them in anger in all directions.

The work went on all day, but finally the garden was cleared of plant invaders, and tired Oorfene Deuce went to rest. He slept badly: he was tormented by nightmares, it seemed to him that unknown plants surrounded him and tried to injure him with thorns.

When Oorfene the day before in a rage scattered green crumble around, his spray fell on fence posts, on tree trunks: these sprays took root there and young plants looked out from there.

Oorfene sat on the porch and thought. What to do? Leave here and settle somewhere else? But it is a pity to leave a comfortable roomy house, a garden.

Oorfene went to the owl. He sat on a perch, his yellow eyes screwed up in the daylight. Deuce spoke about his trouble. Owl swayed on the perch for a long time, thinking.

Try roasting them in the sun, he advised.

Oorfene Deuce finely chopped several young shoots, folded them on an iron sheet with curved edges, and carried them out into the open area under the hot rays of the sun.

Let's see if you grow here! he muttered angrily. - If you germinate, I will leave these places.

The plants didn't germinate. The roots did not have the strength to go through the iron. A few hours later, the hot sun of Fairyland turned the green mass into a brown powder.

Still, it’s not in vain that I feed Guam, ”said Oorfene, satisfied. - Wise bird...

Having seized a wheelbarrow, Deuce went to Kogida to collect iron pans from the hostesses, on which pies are baked. He returned with a wheelbarrow filled to the brim with baking sheets.

Oorfene shook his fist at his plant enemies:

Now I will deal with you! he hissed through clenched teeth.

Hard labor began right away. Oorfene Deuce did not rest his hands from dawn to dusk, only taking a short break during the day.

The area occupied by bright green thorny weeds was shrinking every day. And then the moment came when the last bush turned into a light brown powder.

The carpenter did not see this, he removed the last bucket, closed it as usual, dragged himself to the bed and fell into a dead sleep.

Summary, brief retelling of the tale "Urfin Deuce and his wooden soldiers" by chapter
Part one. Great powder.
Lone carpenter.
In the country of living creatures, the evil sorceress Gingema once ruled, and next to her lived a lonely carpenter Urfin Deuce. Oorfene hated his fellow tribesmen because they never bought his toys. After all, these toys had such scary faces.
When Ellie fell on Gingem and killed her, Oorfene was not at home, and when he returned, he was very upset about the death of the sorceress.
But he decided to pretend that he himself was a sorcerer and therefore agreed with the owl of Gingema named Guamokolatoknit that he would live with him.
An extraordinary plant.
Once Oorfene discovered young weeds in his garden. By evening they had grown into huge plants. Oorfene tried for a long time to cut down the weeds, destroying the growth every day, but the next morning the weeds sprouted again.
Owl Guamoco advised Oorfene to dry the weeds in the sun, and Oorfene began to stack the plants on iron, dry them, and then pour the remaining powder into buckets.
So he conquered the weeds.
When Oorfene removed the last powder, he spilled it on a bearskin.
In the morning he was awakened by the revived bearskin and Oorfene realized that the powder could revive anything.
He revived a stuffed parrot and it flew out the window. He revived the antlers and barely escaped them. Oorfene revived the clown and he bit him on the finger.
The ambitious plans of Oorfene Deuce.
Oorfene Deuce began to think about becoming the ruler of the Zhivuns. He remembered the wealth of the Fairyland and decided that he should make wooden soldiers. To begin with, Oorfene Deuce began to teach the clown to march.
Then he stuffed the bearskin with sawdust and the bear became like a real one. Deuce gave him the name Thumper.
Then he harnessed Thumper to a cart and rode through the country of Zhivunov. The poor living creatures whispered that Deuce was a great wizard, since he revived a bear that died last year and were afraid of him.
The birth of the wooden army.
Oorfene Deuce decided to start by creating five platoons of soldiers, ten soldiers per platoon, placing corporals and a general over them.
The soldier Oorfene began to be made of pine, but he made their heads of oak. Oorfene understood that he could not do it alone and taught the first soldiers to carpentry.
The soldiers came out dumb, but obedient and strong. They could saw through everything in the yard while Deuce was away.
When Deuce scolded the soldiers, they answered that they were blockheads and Oorfene began to call the soldiers that way.
Then Oorfene made corporals of mahogany and gave them names.
Finally, Oorfene created a general from rosewood and named him Lan Pirot.
Lan Pirot quickly learned to command the soldiers and respect Oorfene and the bear Thumper.
The wooden army was ready.
Hike of blockheads.
Juce's army set off to conquer the Blue Country. They occupied the village of Kogida and all the villagers weepingly acknowledged Juce as their master.
In the morning, Oorfene saw that his soldiers were hiding behind leaves, because they were naked and people laughed at them.
Oorfene decided to give the soldiers clothes, but he couldn't think of any. Then the eagle owl Guamoko told him to use paint. Deuce painted each platoon a different color, and painted ribbons over the shoulders of the corporals. He convinced the general that his wooden drawing was better than any clothing.
Early in the morning, Juce went to the estate of the ruler of the Blue Country, Prem Kokus.
A look into the past.
When Eliya found herself in Enchanted Land, she met the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion, who became her friends. After Goodwin granted the wishes of his friends and flew away in a balloon, Ellie and Toto also returned to Kansas.
The Scarecrow became the ruler of the Emerald City, the Woodcutter ruled the country of Winkies, and the Lion ruled in the forest.
New idea.
Oorfene Deuce easily conquered the Blue Country and decided to go on a campaign to the Emerald City, where, as he learned, the Scarecrow the Wise ruled.
The army of blockheads set out on a campaign. They lingered at the ravine, as they began to fall into it. But on the other hand, in the forest, the soldiers easily finished off the saber-toothed tigers.
Then the river blocked the path of the blockheads and the whole army was carried away by the current.
The soldiers were found downstream, in a shallow place, and Deuce had to repair the army for a whole day.
Finally, Oorfene's army entered the Emerald Country and the villagers fled in fear before the enemy.
History of the crow Kaggi-karr.
Once Kaggi-karr advised the Scarecrow to find brains, and therefore, having learned that a straw scarecrow became the ruler of the Emerald City, she immediately understood what was happening. The crow went to the Emerald City and achieved a meeting with the Scarecrow. The Scarecrow was very grateful to the crow and accepted her into the court staff as the first taster of all dishes.
Siege of the Emerald City.
The crow first saw Oorfene's army and, having ordered other birds to detain the soldiers, warned Faramant and Din Gior, the guard of the gate and the soldier. Therefore, when Oorfene Deuce approached the gate, they were closed.
Oorfene Deuce commanded the assault, but the gates did not give in, and the stone thrown by Din Gior overturned Deuce. The next hit the general and the army retreated.
The Scarecrow began to guard at night, when his defenders were sleeping, and thwarted Deuce's night attack.
He guessed that the soldiers would cover themselves with shields and prepared straw.
When the soldiers rushed to the assault, they were thrown from the walls with burning straw and many soldiers were burned.
Oorfene Deuce decided to starve the city, and the Scarecrow sent Kaggi-karr to the Woodcutter for help.
Treason.
Oorfene Deuce threw a wooden clown into the city to find the traitor. The clown quickly found the caretaker of the palace washrooms, Ruf Bilan, and agreed with him.
Ruf signed up to volunteer for the defense of the city, but mixed sleeping pills in his drink and Faramant and Din Gior fell asleep. Then Bilan tied the Scarecrow and opened the gate.
The Scarecrow and his assistants were thrown into the basement, and the Emerald City was captured by Oorfene Deuce.
The tin woodcutter is captured.
When the Woodcutter found out about the trouble, he immediately rushed to the aid of the Scarecrow. But a trap awaited him. As soon as he entered the gates of the Emerald City, he was entangled with ropes and the ax was taken away.
Deuce demanded that the Scarecrow and the Woodcutter serve him, and when they refused three times, he put them on a high tower and gave them six months to change their minds. Otherwise, friends were threatened with death.
On the tower, Kaggi-karr flew to her friends and broke the ropes with which they were tied with her beak.
The Scarecrow thought of writing a letter to Ellie, but none of them knew how to write. Then they simply drew on the sheet the Scarecrow and the Woodcutter behind bars. Kaggi-karr went to Ellie in Kansas.
The new ruler of the Emerald Country.
Oorfene Deuce ordered himself to be called a mighty ruler and arranged a solemn coronation. Then there was a dinner at which Oorfene ate smoked mice and live leeches, as an evil wizard should. But in fact, the mice were from the rabbit, and the leeches from the dough.
Then Urifn Deuce decided to create police officers - with long legs, big ears and many fingers.
After that, he continued building the army and soon the number of blockheads reached 120.

Part two. To help friends.
strange letter
One day a traveler came to the farm to Ellie and her parents. It turned out to be Ellie's mother's brother Charlie Black, an old sailor who was looking for a thousand to buy a ship and return to the island with his cannibal friends.
Charlie listened with amazement to the story of Ellie's adventures and quickly became friends with the girl.
One day, Ellie saw a crow, it was Kaggi-karr, which was being chased by a neighbor's boy.
Ellie took the crow and found a letter on its paw. The girl immediately recognized the Scarecrow and the Woodcutter, and Charlie realized that they were behind bars.
Through the desert
Soon, Ellie, Totoshka, crow and Charlie Black went to the Magic Land. They reached the great desert on foot, and then Charlie built a land ship that could travel through the desert.
The travelers waited for a fair wind and drove forward. Soon mountains appeared ahead.
But suddenly, the ship changed direction and crashed on a large black stone. The name "Gingema" was written on the stone. Such stones surrounded the entire magical country and did not allow anyone to get in. Charlie began to repair the ship.
Trapped by the black stone.
Charlie fixed the ship, but it couldn't move away from the rock. Even walking away from the stone did not work. Charlie and Ellie were starving and saving water. Ellie guessed to let go of the crow and she flew to the Magic Land.
The rescue.
On the seventh day, the travelers ran out of water.
But then a crow flew in and brought a huge bunch of grapes. The travelers ate the grapes and felt better.
And the crow seemed to be calling them after itself. Charlie went after the crow and the magic stone no longer held him. Then the travelers quickly walked away from the stone, until the action of the grapes ended. Very soon they reached the mountains.
Valley of wonderful grapes.
Friends ended up in a wonderful valley and Kaggi-karr finally spoke like a human being. She said that the Scarecrow and the Woodcutter were in captivity.
Then Charlie caught fish and the travelers ate heartily.
Kaggi-karr explained where she got the grapes. It turned out that the crow flew to the sorceress Villina and she found out that only grapes can free black stones from the power.
Villina herself carried the crow to the valley where the grapes grew, and she managed to save the travelers.
Road in the mountains.
In the morning, the crow told Ellie about Urfin Deuce and the girl dreamed of helping her friends faster. But the mountains were high. For two days the crow searched for a way through the mountains and finally found a small path.
Charlie and Ellie crossed the mountains and ended up in the land of munchkins. The little men immediately recognized Ellie and told them that Oorfene's viceroy, Djusa Kabr Gwin, and ten blockheads lived with him in their country.
Ellie sent Kaggi-karr to the forest after the Lion, and promised the munchkins to free them from blockheads.
The order has not been fulfilled.
Kaggai-karr informed Lev about Ellie's request and Dev immediately went to help. And the crow flew to the emerald city and told the Scarecrow about the arrival of Ellie. The Scarecrow was so inspired that he called the people together with a cry and told that good Ellie would soon come and free everyone.
Oorfene Deuce ordered the Scarecrow to be thrown into the punishment cell and he was hung on a nail in the punishment cell.
Meeting with a brave Leo.
Very soon Leo got to Ellie and friends embraced. The lion said that he walked through the forest for a long time, swam across the river, deceived the saber-toothed tigers.
A crow flew in and confessed that she let slip about Ellie's arrival. But she promised to lead the girl to the Emerald City by secret ways, and her friends forgave the crow for boasting.
Liberation of chewing gums.
Before going to the Emerald City, Ellie wanted to free the Munchkins. Charlie came up with the idea of using a lasso.
One munchkin told Kabr Gwyn about the hidden gold, and he hurriedly went after him along with blockheads.
On the way it was necessary to cross speeches on a log. And there Charlie caught all the blockheads one by one. Then he caught Gwin, who did not even resist.
The Munchkins tried Gwyn and sent him to the Emerald City through a forest with saber-toothed tigers.
And then friends went on a campaign to the Emerald City.
How the saber-toothed tigers were driven away.
Near the forest, the munchkins left Ellie and friends began to prepare for the transition through the tiger forest.
Uncle Charlie blew up the cloth and drew on it a terrible beast that glowed in the dark. The company went through the forest under the cloth, blowing trumpets, growling and croaking, and the saber-toothed tigers in guard fled into the thicket.
New worries.
With the help of a raft, friends crossed the river and the crow said that there were no soldiers of Oorfene around.
But Charlie assumed that the patrols might appear at night. Indeed, at night Lev caught the smell of paint. Totoshka went on reconnaissance and found two blockheads and one policeman, who was difficult to catch.
Therefore, the company climbed into the thorny bush and pitched a tent in the middle of it.
Adventures in a cave.
Oorfene placed patrols on all roads and friends decided to look for an underground passage to the Emerald City.
Ellie, with the help of a magic whistle, called Ramina, the queen of mice, and she sent her subjects in search of an underground passage. The mice returned with nothing, but one very old mouse remembered this move.
Friends entered the cave and soon stumbled upon an underground predator. It was a six-legged beast, overgrown with thick hair.
He was invulnerable to the teeth and claws of a lion, the crow could not gouge his skull, and Charlie could not do anything with a lasso.
But Ellie jabbed a torch into the monster's side, and the fur caught fire. The six-legged ran away.
Country of underground miners.
Friends made their way through the caves for a long time and suddenly Totoshka barked angrily. Ellie came up to him and saw a hole in the walls of the cave, She looked into it and saw the country of underground miners.
With the help of a spyglass, the travelers had a good look at the underground country. There was a big city, a water mill that was spun by a six-legged one, golden clouds shining over meadows and fields.
But the travelers were noticed by a guard on a winged monster and began to shoot at them with a bow.
Friends hurried to leave the dangerous place and soon found themselves in front of a large locked door.
Meeting with the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman.
Charlie drilled a hole in the door and the friends climbed the tower. The Scarecrow and the Woodcutter were overjoyed. But before saving themselves, it was necessary to help Faramant and Dean Gior, who were sitting in the basement.
Charlie offered to give the captives a steel file, but Kaggi-karr could not hold it in her beak.
Then they decided to lower Ellie on a rope, having previously disguised her as a local resident. Ellie entered the palace, met with the cook Baluol, and then handed over the nail file to the captives. The prisoners sawed through the grate and crawled out of the basement.
Then they climbed over the wall of the city and met with friends in a ravine.
In the morning, blockheads and policemen were sent in the footsteps of the fugitives, but the locals cleverly deceived them and the policemen themselves threw stones at their boss. The soldiers returned with nothing, and Bilan had to report the escape to Urfin Deuce.

Part three. Victory
To the East!
In the country of the Winkers, a certain Enkin Fled ruled, a fat man, but very fond of weapons. He forced the Winkers to forge more and more new weapons for himself every day. With him was a platoon of blockheads and a corporal.
Ellie and her friends went east to liberate the country of the Winkies. On the way, the Woodcutter found his abandoned hammer and brandished it belligerently.
Ultimatum.
Ellie's friends decided to send an ultimatum to Fled, and Kaggi-karr went as a truce.
Fled was very surprised when he read the ultimatum. Din Gior offered him to surrender or threatened to put one fighter against the entire army of Fled.
Fled laughed and went to fight.
One against eleven.
In front of the platoon of his soldiers stood the Tin Woodman. With ten blows of his hammer, the Woodcutter destroyed ten soldiers, but the corporal crept up from behind and hit with a baton so hard that the heart donated by Goodwin flew out of the Woodcutter's chest. The woodcutter fell to his knees.
Charlie lassoed the corporal, and the Winkies and Ellie's friends surrounded Fled. The only thing left to do was to give up.
The Wink Masters decided that they would fix the overlord quickly.
Restoration of the Tin Woodman.
The Winkies quickly repaired the Woodcutter. They made him a new golden ax and a golden butter dish. They gave the Scarecrow a golden cane, Ellie a golden hat and silver shoes, Totoshka a golden collar, and Charlie a golden leg. But Charlie refused the heavy golden leg.
The rebels decided what to do with the blockheads. Charlie wanted to use Fled's stockpiled weapons, but the Winker Master suggested using beaters and spiked balls on chains.
The Scarecrow reminded them that the soldiers were made of wood and offered to create a cannon that shoots fire.
The last soldiers of Oorfene Deuce.
Oorfene Deuce hastily created new soldiers, their number was approaching 200. But suddenly he discovered that the powder was over. The last platoon received very little powder and the soldiers barely moved. Juice had to send them to the oven.
Victory.
