## Chapter VIII The Deadly Poppy Field
There were big yellow and white and blue and purple blossoms, besides great clusters of scarlet poppies, which were so brilliant in color they almost dazzled Dorothy’s eyes.
They now came upon more and more of the big scarlet poppies, and fewer and fewer of the other flowers; and soon they found themselves in the midst of a great meadow of poppies.
Her eyes closed in spite of herself and she forgot where she was and fell among the poppies, fast asleep.
