"Conquering a city is not so much," observed the Scarecrow, as they / started across the blue field. "Trot conquered an island in the sky and / has a whole book of history written about her adventures there."
"Did you really? " Staring down at the little girl with wonder and / admiration, Benny begged her to tell the story. So, as they hurried / on to the blue cottage, Trot told how she and Button Bright and Cap'n / Bill had flown on a magic umbrella to Sky Island, conquered the Pinks / and Blues, and how she had been crowned Queen of the island. She was / trying to explain to Benny why she preferred being a little girl in the / Emerald City to a Queen in the sky, when the Scarecrow gave a sharp cry / of alarm and sprang back from the road.
