Dorothy ate a hearty supper and was waited upon by the rich Munchkin himself, whose name was Boq.
But the Lion went away into the forest and found his own supper, and no one ever knew what it was, for he didn’t mention it.
“Well,” said the woman, after thinking it over and taking another peep at the Lion, “if that is the case you may come in, and I will give you some supper and a place to sleep.”
The woman now called to them that supper was ready, so they gathered around the table and Dorothy ate some delicious porridge and a dish of scrambled eggs and a plate of nice white bread, and enjoyed her meal.
