Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hi, this is Stefania. Welcome to the Classic Children's Stories podcast.
Stories for Bedtime, Laytime, any time to keep your little
ones entertained and happy. We bring an international collection of stories,
Stories that teach, stories that entertain, and more. We continue
(00:23):
on with our story the Marvelous Land of Odds. This
chapter is called A nickel Plated Emperor. Maybe you remember
the scarecrow Tip and all. We're going to find the
Scarecrow's friend, the ten Woodman, who is now the Emperor
(00:48):
of the Winkies. And this is how it goes. A
nickel Plated Emperor. Tip awoke soon after dawn, but the
scarecrow had already risen and plucked with his clumsy fingers
a double handful of ripe berries from some bushes nearby.
(01:11):
These the boy ate, greedily, finding them an ample breakfast,
and afterward the little party resumed this journey. After an
hour's ride, they reached the summit of a hill, from
whence they spied the city of the Winkies, and noted
the tall domes of the Emperor's palace rising from the
(01:32):
clusters of the more modest dwellings. The scarecrow became greatly
animated at this site, and exclaimed, how delighted I shall
be to see my old friend the tin Woodman again.
I hope that he rules his people more successfully than
I have ruled mine. Is the tin Woodman the Emperor
(01:57):
of the Winkies, asked yes. Indeed, they invited him to
rule over them soon after the Wicked which was destroyed.
And as Nick Chopper has the best heart in all
the world, I am sure he has proved an excellent
and able emperor. I thought that emperor was the title
(02:24):
of a person who rules an empire, said Tip. And
the country of Winkies is only a kingdom. Don't mention
that to the tin Woodman, exclaimed the scarecrow earnestly, he
would hurt his feelings terribly. He's a proud man, and
he has every reason to be, and it pleases him
(02:44):
to be termed emperor rather than king. I'm sure it
makes no difference to me, replied the boy. The sawhorse
now ambled for it at a pace so fat that
his writers had hard work to stick upon his back.
So there was little further conversation until they drew up.
(03:07):
Besides the palace steps, an ancient winkie dressed in a
uniform of silver cloth came forward to assist them to
a light, said the scarecrow to his personage. She us
at once to your master, the Emperor. The man looked
(03:29):
from one to another of the party in an embarrassed way,
and finally answered, I fear I must ask you to
wait for a time. The Emperor is not receiving this morning.
How is that, inquired the scarecrow anxiously. I hope nothing
(03:53):
has happened to him. Oh, nothing, nothing serious, returned the man.
But this is his, his Majesty's stay for being polished,
and just now his August presence is thickly smeared with puttspomade.
Oh I see, cried the scarecrow, greatly assured. My friend
(04:18):
was ever inclined to be a dandy, and I suppose
he is now more proud than ever of his personal appearance.
He is, indeed, said the man with a polite bow.
Our mighty Emperor has lately caused himself to be nickel plated.
Good gracious, the scarecrow exclaimed at hearing this. If his
(04:43):
wit bears the same polish, how sparkling it must be.
But show us in. I'm sure the Emperor will receive
us even in his present state. The emperor's state is
always magnificent, said the man. But I will venture to
tell him of your arrival and will receive his commands
(05:06):
concerning you. So the party followed the servant into a
splendid anteroom, and the saw horse ambled awkwardly after them,
having no knowledge that a horse might be expected to
remain outside. The travelers were at first somewhat awed by
(05:26):
their surroundings, and even the Scarecrow seemed impressed as he
examined the rich hangings of silver cloth caught up in
nuts and fastened with tiny silver axes. Upon a handsome
center table stood a large silver oil can richly engraved
with scenes from the past adventures of the tin Woodman, Dorothy,
(05:51):
the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow, the lines at the
engraving being traced upon the silver and yellow gold. On
the wall hung several portraits, that of the Scarecrow, seeming
to be the most prominent and carefully executed well. A
large painting of the famous Quizard of oz An act
(06:11):
of presenting the ten Woodmen with a Heart covered almost
one entire end of the room, while the visitors gaze
at these things in silent admiration. They suddenly heard a
loud voice in the next room exclaim, well, well wow,
(06:32):
what a great surprise. And then the door burst open,
and nick Chopper rushed into their mist and caught the
scarecrow in a close and loving embrace that creased him
into many folds and wrinkles. My dear old friend, my
noble comrade, cried the ten Wooman joyfully, How delighted I
(06:55):
am to meet you once again. And then he released
the scare and held him at armslength while he surveyed
the beloved painted features. But alas the face of the
scarecrow and many portions of his body bore great lotches
of buttspummeade, for the tin Woodman, in his eagerness to
(07:17):
welcome his friend, had quite forgotten the condition of his toilet,
and had rubbed the thick coating of paste from his
own body to that of his covert. Hear me, said
the scarecrow dolefully, what a mess I'm in. Never mind,
my friend, returned the tin Woodman. I'll send you to
(07:38):
my imperial laundry and you'll come out as good as new,
won't I be mangled, asked the scarecrow. No, indeed, was
the reply. But tell me how came your majesty here,
and who are your companions? The scarecrow, with great politeness,
(07:58):
introduced Tip and Jack Buckinhead, and the latter personage seemed
to interest the tin woodmen greatly. You're not very substantial,
I must admit, said the Emperor, but you are certainly unusual,
and therefore were of the to become a member of
(08:19):
our select society. I thank your majesty, said Jack humbly.
I hope you are enjoying good health, continued the whitman.
At present, Yes, replied the pumpkinhead with a sigh. But
I am in constant terror of the day when I
shall spoil nonsense, said the Emperor. But in a kindly
(08:45):
sympathetic tone, do not, I beg you damp on to
day's sun with the showers of tomorrow, for before your
head has time to spoil, you can have it can,
and in that way it may be preserved definitely. Tip,
during this conversation, was looking at the woman with undisguised
(09:08):
amazement and noticed that the celebrated Emperor of the Winkies
was composed entirely of pieces of ten neatly soldered and
riveted together into the form of a man. He rattled
and clanked a little as he moved, but in the
main he seemed to be most cleverly constructed, and his
(09:30):
appearance was only marred by the thick coating of polishing
paste that covered him from head to foot. The boy's
intent gigs caused at Tenement to remember that he was
not in the most presentable condition, so he begged his
friends to excuse him while he retired to his private
(09:50):
apartment and allowed his servants to polish him. This was
accomplished in a short time, and when the Emperor returned,
his nickel plated body shone so magnificently that the scarecrow
heartily congratulated him on his improved appearance. That nickelplate was,
(10:16):
I confess a happy thought, said nick. And it was
the more necessary because I had become somewhat scratched during
my adventurous experiences. You will observe this engraved star upon
my left breast. It not only indicates where my excellent
heart lies, but covers very neatly the patch made by
(10:40):
the wonderful wizard when he placed that valued organ in
my breast with his own skillful hands. Is your heart?
Then a hand organ, asked the pumpkinhead curiously, by no means,
responded the Emperor with dignity, it is, I am convinced
(11:03):
a strictly orthodox heart, although somewhat larger and warmer than
most people possess. Then he turned to the scarecrow and asked,
are your subjects happy and contented? My dear friend, I
cannot say, was the reply, for the girls of ours
have risen and revolved and driven me out of the
(11:24):
Emerald city. Great goodness, cried the tin woodman. What a calamity.
They surely do not complain of your wise and generous rule. No,
but they say it is a poor rule that doesn't
work both ways, answered the scarecrow. And these females are
(11:45):
also of the opinion that men have ruled land long enough,
so they have captured my city, robbed the treasury of
all his jewels, and are running things to suit themselves.
Dear me, what an extraordinary idea, cried the Emperor, who
(12:06):
was both shocked and surprised. And I heard some of
them say, said tip, that they intend to march here
and capture the castle and city. Of the ten woodmen. Oh,
we must not give them time to do that, said
the Emperor quickly. We will go at once and recapture
the Emerald city and place the scarecrow again upon his throne.
(12:31):
I was sure you would help me, remarked the scarecrow
in a pleased voice. How large an army can you assemble?
We do not need an army, replied the woodman. We four,
with the aid of my glimming acts, are enough to
strike terror into the hearts of the rebels. We five,
(12:55):
corrected the pumpkinhead, five repeated the ten. Yes, the sawhorse
is brave and fearless, answered Jack, forgetting this recent quarrel
with the cord pitt. The tenman looked around him in
a puzzled way, for the sawhorse had until now remained
quietly standing in the corner where the emperor had not
(13:17):
noticed him. Tip immediately called the odd looking creature to them,
and it approached so awkwardly that it nearly upset the
beautiful center table and the engraved oil. Can I begin
to think, remarked the tin woodman, as he looked earnestly
at the sawhorse, That wonders will never cease. How came
(13:42):
this creature alive. I did it with the magic powder, modestly,
asserted the boy. And the sawhorse has been very useful
to us. He enabled us to escape the rebels, added
the scarecrow. Then we must surely accept him as a
declared the Emperor. A live sawhorse is a distinct novelty
(14:06):
and should prove an interesting study. Does he know anything well?
I cannot claim any great experience in life, a sawhorse
answered for himself. But I seem to learn very quickly,
and it often occurs to me that I know more
than any of those around me. Perhaps you do, said
(14:30):
the Emperor, for experience does not always mean wisdom. But
time is precious just now, so let us quickly make
preparations to start on our journey. The Emperor called his
Lord High Chancellor and instructed him how to run the
kingdom during his absence. Meanwhile, the scarecrow was taken apart,
(14:51):
and the painted sack that served him for a head
was carefully laundered and be stuffed with the brains originally
given to him the Great Wizard. His clothes were also
cleaned and pressed by the imperial tailors, and his crown
polished and again sewn upon his head, for the tin
(15:12):
woodmen insisted he should not renounce this badge of royalty.
The scarecrow now presented a very respectable appearance, and although
in no way addicted to vanity, he was quite pleased
with himself, and strutted a trifle as he walked. While
(15:33):
this was being done, Tip mended the wooden limbs of
check Pumpkinhead and made them stronger than before, and the
sawhorse was also inspected to see if he was in
good working order. Then bright and early the next morning
they set out upon the return journey to the Emerald City,
(15:55):
the ten woodmen, bearing upon his shoulder a gleaming axe
and leading the way, while the Pumpkinhead rode upon the
sawhorse and Tip and the Scarecrow walked upon either side
to make sure that he didn't fall off or become damaged.
(16:28):

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
