“I have come for my courage,”
announced the Lion, entering the room.
“Very well,”
answered the little man;
“I will get it for you.”
He went to a cupboard and reaching up to a high shelf took down a square green bottle, the contents of which he poured into a green-gold dish, beautifully carved. Placing this before the Cowardly Lion, who sniffed at it as if he did not like it, the Wizard said:
“Drink.”
“What is it?”
asked the Lion.
“Well,”
answered Oz,
“if it were inside of you, it would be courage. You know, of course, that courage is always inside one; so that this really cannot be called courage until you have swallowed it. Therefore I advise you to drink it as soon as possible.”
The Lion hesitated no longer, but drank till the dish was empty.
“How do you feel now?”
asked Oz.
“Full of courage,”
replied the Lion, who went joyfully back to his friends to tell them of his good fortune.
