The Marvelous Land of Oz | Chapter 5: The Awakening of the Saw-horse

The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum — Chapter 5: The Awakening of the Saw-horse

The Saw-Horse opens his eyes for the first time and discovers that he has no neck, no knee-joints, and no ears. Tip, who has brought him to life, must work out how to steer a creature that cannot hear a shouted command or understand why a hole in the ground means stop.

Jack Pumpkinhead offers a few surprisingly sensible remarks from the roadside as Tip whittles, bores, and hammers his way toward a working steed. The party sets off along a yellow brick road toward the Emerald City, and the day ends beside a grassy mound under the trees.
