'We don't have any,' said Dorothy. Suddenly she remembered Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. 'How can I get back home to Kansas?' she asked.

'Where is Kansas?' asked the good Witch. 'I don't know a country called Kansas, so I can't tell you the way.'

Dorothy began to cry. 'Oh no! What can I do?'

'Please don't cry!' said the Witch. 'Go and see the Wizard of Oz. He's a good wizard, and perhaps he can help you. It's a long way, and you must walk there. I can't go with you, but I can give you my kiss.'

She gave Dorothy a little kiss. It looked like a small red flower on Dorothy's face.

'Now nothing canhurt you,' she said. 'It is a long journey, through a country that is sometimes pleasant and sometimes dark and terrible. However, I will use all the magic arts I know of to keep you from harm. Look – it is the road to the Emerald City. It is made of yellow bricks, so you cannot lose your way. Goodbye.'

She reached down and picked up the shoes, and after shaking the dust out of them handed them to Dorothy.

'Goodbye!' said the three little Munchkins.

When Dorothy wasleft alone she began to feel hungry. She gave some bread to Toto, and taking a pail from the shelf she carried it down to the little brook and filled it with clear, sparkling water. Then she went back to the house, and having helped herself and Toto to a good drink of the cool, clear water, she set about making ready for the journey to the City of Emeralds.
