The Marvelous Land of Oz | Chapter 7: His Majesty the Scarecrow

The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum — Chapter 7: His Majesty the Scarecrow

Jack Pumpkinhead meets the Scarecrow King of the Emerald City, a ruler who wears a heavy golden crown over a face painted on a sack of straw. Neither of them can understand the other at first, and the two are forced to find a go-between to bridge the gap.

A sharp-tongued young guest named Jellia Jamb is summoned to interpret, and her answers quickly turn the conversation mischievous. The Scarecrow and Jack trade wise and foolish remarks about brains, hearts, and who was made by whom, and both learn that talking is harder than it sounds.
