"That depends," said a Pinhead male who appeared to be their leader.
"Depends on what?" asked the Scarecrow.
"On whether or not you have a pin cushion," the leader replied. "If you do, the R and R will be free."
"Well, I don't have one," said the Scarecrow.
"And neither do I," said the Tin Woodman.
"I have one!" exclaimed Dorothy, digging into her purse. "But what on earth do you want a pin cushion for?"
"Well, as you can see," replied the Pinhead," our feet are pointed; and since we sleep standing up, pin cushions make wonderful beds. We just hold our feet tightly together and jump onto the pin cushion and sink down to our heads. It is so cozy and warm, you wouldn't believe it."
"I don't understand how that can be," said Dorothy. "I know you are not very big, but this pin cushion seems far too small for you to stand on, let alone sink down to your head."
"Oh, that's not a problem for us," replied the Pinhead. "You see, we have the ability to make little things big. How do you think we could make a big raft for you giants? We just make the raft out of match-sticks and thread, and when it"s enlarged it looks like it's made out of big logs and rope."
"But how do you do that?" exclaimed the girl.
