Fiction Passage Dorothy began to feel hungry so she went to the cupboard and cut herself some bread, which she spread with butter. She gave some to Toto, and taking a pail from the shelf, she carried it down to the little brook and filled it with clear, sparkling water. Toto ran over to the trees and began to bark at the birds sitting there. Dorothy went to get him, and saw delicious 5. fruits hanging from the branches so she gathered some, finding them just what would help out her basket. Then she went back to the house, and after she and Toto had a drink of the cool, clear water, she set about making ready for the journey to the City of Emeralds. Dorothy had only one other dress which was hanging beside her bed. She washed herself carefully, dressed 10 and tied her pink sunbonnet on her head. She took a little basket and filled it with bread from the cupboard, laying a white cloth over the top. Then she looked down at her feet and noticed how old and worn her shoes were. “They surely will never do for the journey, Toto,” she said. And Toto looked up into her face with his litle black eyes and wagged his tail to show he knew what she meant. At that moment, Dorothy saw lying on the table the silver shoes that had 18 belonged to the Witch of the East. “I wonder if they will fit me?” she asked Toto. She took off her old leather shoes and tried on the silver ones, which fitted her as well as if they had been made for her. Finally, she picked up her basket. “Come along, Toto,” she said, “We will go to the Emerald City and ask the Great Oz how to get back to Kansas again.” She closed the door and put the key in the 20 pocket of her dress. And with Toto trotting along soberly behind her, she started off. There were several roads nearby but it did not take her long to find the one paved with yellow bricks. Within a short time, she was walking briskly toward the Emerald City, her silver shoes tinkling merrily on the hard, yellow road-bed. The sun shone brightly and the birds sang sweetly. ‘She was surprised to see how pretty the country was. There were neat fences at the 25. sides of the road, painted a dainty blue colour, and beyond them were fields of grain and vegetables in abundance. Evidently the Munchkins were good farmers. Once in a while she would pass a house, and the people came out to look at her and bow low as she went by for everyone knew she had been the means of destroying the Wicked Witch and setting them free from bondage. The houses of the Munchkins were odd-looking dwellings, each was round, 30 with a big dome for a roof. All were painted blue, for in this country of the East, blue was the favourite colour.

Grandpa’s Place Tonce stood at the edge of my grandfather's pond A hundred miles from home, in the middle of nowhere And there I tossed in a rock, no greater than a beetle To see it sink, to see it create its spiralling wrinkle. 4 Through that fading afternoon light, the stone sank And ripples formed that travelled across the depth In them, I could see a thousand singers in serenade Hosted by birds and bugs, a marching band brigade. 8 The sunshine sprinkled upon its disturbed top Aided by the evening wind’s own gentle blowing I contemplate the creatures that inhabit this keep Do they now prepare for bed, and then go to sleep? 2 Of worms and tittilies, of fishes tiny and some large And what about the deer whose tracks we tracked? That visits from time to time to quench her thirst And whose graceful beauty one can’t ever reimburse. 16 See the magical yellow-black vest of the com birds That disappear into their strawy hanging homes Look! A multicoloured machette slips into the grass Let it be, quietly. Oh do not, do not ever harass! 20 Grandpa has planted these lands for all of his time Grandma makes fresh cocoa and sweet potato wedges We gather in the cottage grounds ’round the campfire With open skies, glowing embers, childhood desires. 24 EduscapeCaribbean.
