De la biblioteca

It was, indeed, a great yellow Wildcat, and the Woodman thought it must be chasing something, for its ears were lying close to its head and its mouth was wide open, showing two rows of ugly teeth, while its red eyes glowed like balls of fire.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, p. 51 · B2
As it came nearer the Tin Woodman saw that running before the beast was a little gray field mouse, and although he had no heart he knew it was wrong for the Wildcat to try to kill such a pretty, harmless creature.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, p. 51 · B2
So the Woodman raised his axe, and as the Wildcat ran by he gave it a quick blow that cut the beast’s head clean off from its body, and it rolled over at his feet in two pieces.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, p. 51 · B2
How did you manage to escape the great Wildcat?” They all bowed so low to the little Queen that they almost stood upon their heads.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, p. 52 · B2
