But the Lion went into the forest and found his own supper and no one ever knew what it was, for he didn’t mention it. And the scarecrow found a tree full of nuts and filled Dorothy’s basket with them, so that she would not be hungry for a long time. She thought this was very kind and thoughtful of the scarecrow, but she laughed heartily at the awkward way in which the poor creature picked up the nuts. His padded hands were so clumsy and the nuts so small that he dropped almost as many as he put in the basket. But the scarecrow did not mind how long it took him to fill the basket, for it enabled him to keep away from the fire, as he feared a spark might get into his straw and burn him up. So he kept a good distance away from the flames, and only came near to cover Dorothy with dry leaves when she lay down to sleep. These kept her snug and warm and she slept soundly by until morning.

When it was daylight, the girl bathed her face in a little rippling brook and soon after they all started toward the Emerald city.

This was to be a wonderful day for the travellers. They had hardly been walking an hour when they saw before them a ditch that lay across the road and divided the forest as far as they could see on either side.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. (129-135)

Usually the first question I ask a newbie birder is, “What do you think is the most important physical requisite to be a birder? Your eyes, your ears, your nose or any other?”

Most often, the answer is “eyes”, but several do home into what is the most important faculty-a least, according to me: your ears. Spotting birds in foliage is hard enough, but if you hear them, you know they are there.

But early the other morning, I realised it went much beyond that. The first bird call I heard as left the house for my walk was the madcap ringing laugh of black-rumped flameback, earlier known a the golden-backed woodpecker. It was a wild, exultant laugh that set the tone and mood for the entire day. And then I realised that every bird call evokes a different reaction, memory or emotion in the listener.

Indian mynas, for example, invariably remind me of people in Delhi-always ready to argue and pick a fight, belligerent and in your face. Yet, they taught me not to make sweeping generalisation because when a pair perch on the window sill in the afternoons, they have meaningful civilised conversations with each other. There is inquiry, humour and affection in their voices.
