Part 4
Nick Chopper
Lizzie was out in town but not going to the bookshop. She had met up with her friend Lotte and they were clothes shopping. It had not been very successful. Lotte had done well but Lizzie had not seen anything she liked apart from a new bra and that was hardly an exciting purchase. Lotte had tried very hard to persuade her to get an Indian print dress that she said had really suited Lizzie but she had not liked the colour. The print was fine but the yellow colour had just not looked right on her.
They were walking to the teashop when they heard an odd squeaking behind them. Moments later the odious young man from the bookshop had gone past on an old bicycle. To Lizzie's annoyance he had turned and waved.
"He wants to oil that thing," said Lotte, "he needs to find an oil can. Do you know him?"
"Er, he works in the bookshop, odious little creep."
"That's a bit strong for you Lizzie. You never say a hard word about anyone."
"Well, it's the way he looks at me."
"Boys do that Lizzie, specially to you."
"Whatever. Yes but it's the way he does it and that hair and dress sense."
"What a yellow anorak and black cords?"
"You are observant Lotte! No, what he wears normally, it's just odd. He's odd and I don't like him, gives me the creeps. Keeps recommending books to me"
"Lizzie, you like books."
"Whatever. Tea?" They went into the teashop and Lizzie changed the subject.
Lizzie knew she was dreaming the sun was shining through her eyelids and the birds were singing but it was not real. It was too perfect. She opened her eyes and saw two blue painted eyes looking at her, one bigger than the other. She was back in Oz.
"Hallo Scarecrow."
"Good morning Lizzie."
She was back in the little cottage built of logs and branches where she had left Oz last time she had dreamt she was there.
Now, she thought, what is the first thing Dorothy would do in the morning. Yes she is a good girl so she would wash.
"We must go and search for water," she said to the Scarecrow.
"Why do you want water?" he asked.
"To wash my face clean after the dust of the road, and to drink, so the dry bread will not stick in my throat."
"It must be inconvenient to be made of flesh," said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, "for you must sleep, and eat and drink. However, you have brains, and it is worth a lot of bother to be able to think properly."
They left the cottage and walked through the trees until they found a little spring of clear water, Lizzie drank and then took off her blue and white checked gingham frock. Standing naked she began to wash, splashing water over her smooth skin. The crystal clear water was very cold, though the sun was hot and quick to dry her. The cold water brought her out in goose pimples and made her nipples stand firm, all pointy on her pointy breasts. The Scarecrow looked on appreciatively, his yellow corncob sticking, rather rudely, out of the front of his trousers. Lizzie squatted and splashed the cold clear water on her sex; the sunlight shining on her golden curls and on the drops of water momentarily caught by the curls.
"Lizzie?"
"Yes?"
"When the Munchkin boy and girl were in my field they did something else."
"I knew it," thought Lizzie, "I thought this would come. Still I am a bit hungry and that corn milk certainly tasted fine that first time."
"Yes?"
"The boy put his cock in the Munchkin girl's mouth and she sucked on it for a mighty long time. The Munchkin boy seemed to like it a lot because he sighed a lot and said pretty things to the girl and stroked her hair. When his cock came out of her mouth it was all floppy like when she stroked him that first time and when he pulled it out of her the other times."
"How often did they come into your field then?"
Quite a lot, sometimes more than once a day."
"Hmmm." Lizzie got down on her knees in front of the Scarecrow. As she had found before the cob was rather big and she could only just get it in her mouth. It felt like a corncob not a penis; she stroked her tongue over the bumps of the individual kernels. It was a pleasing texture. Pulling off, she wet her lips and slid them over the cob, and drew them back and forth. The happy sighs and groans from the Scarecrow suggested she was doing the right things by him. She kept the motion up as the sun warmed her back and hair drying off the water droplets from her washing. She reached behind her for her hat and put it on her head.
Neither of them had noticed but a few steps away in the forest was the Tin Man. He was watching a remarkable tableau. A pretty pale skinned naked girl with fair hair in various and interesting places, wearing a sweet pink sunbonnet, was sucking off a scarecrow's corncob penis. He looked and looked, completely fascinated, though he could not move, could not speak. If only he could call out for help, once the act was complete of course. He did not want to spoil the entertainment.
The cob really was very big. Lizzie's stretched lips were becoming rather sore. She flicked her tongue over the end of the cob trying to hurry the Scarecrow up. She was successful. He groaned and jet after jet of sweet, starchy corn milk shot from the cob and into Lizzie's mouth. She swallowed. It really was quite delicious, quite invigorating.
"Thank you Lizzie, thank you. That's was just like the Munchkins."
They were startled to hear a deep groan near by.
"What was that?" she asked timidly.
"I cannot imagine," replied the Scarecrow; "but we can go and see."
Just then another groan reached their ears, and the sound seemed to come from behind them. They turned and walked through the forest a few steps, when Lizzie discovered something shining in a ray of sunshine that fell between the trees. She ran to the place and then stopped short, with a little cry of surprise.
One of the big trees had been partly chopped through, and standing beside it, with an uplifted axe in his hands, was a man made entirely of tin. His head and arms and legs were jointed upon his body, but he stood perfectly motionless, as if he could not stir at all.
It's the Tin Man," said Lizzie to the Scarecrow, "Did you groan Tin Man?"
"Yes," answered the tin man, "I did. I've been groaning for more than a year, and no one has ever heard me before or come to help me."
