"How does it make you feel if you're not angry or resentful?" said Dorothy.
"Then it will have a positive effect on you," said the Lion. "It will give you lots of energy, and if you're cold, it will make you feel nice and warm."
"How strange," said Dorothy. "It will certainly be very interesting. We'd better look at the map again to see what comes after Colorland."
As Dorothy studied the map, the Scarecrow started to get the giggles. "Oh dear!" he said, giggling uncontrollably. "Not again!"
"My goodness," said Dorothy. "What's going on?"
"Don't you see the name of the land next to Colorland?" said the Scarecrow. Dorothy peered at the map.
"Tickleland?" she said as she started to laugh. "I can't wait for you to explain this one."
"Let me explain," said the Tin Woodman. "The Scarecrow and myself are probably the only ones here who are not ticklish, so we're not concerned about traveling through Tickleland. But for you it will be an ordeal, believe me."
"An ordeal?" said Dorothy.
"I'm afraid so," replied the Tin Woodman. "You see, Tickleland is filled with Ticklemonsters. They are cousins of the Octapong; and whereas the Octapong have eight feet, the Ticklemonsters have eight arms, and that makes forty fingers to tickle you with if they catch you."
