Cubby led the huge animal through the forest to the lair of the gigantic spider. When they got there, they were met with a most unexpected sight. There was a pack of Land Sharks. They looked frightful and hungry, and they surrounded Ozma, Tweaty, Nibbles, Lisa, Hootsey and Elephant. "Those are some of my friends who live in this forest," explained Cubby. "Except for the little girl.
"The problem as I see it," said Hootsey, looking as wise as he could, "is that for every chilepepper of whatever color whose heart is filled with love and kindness for his fellows, there are probably several who cannot generate those feelings within themselves. So I predict that the unfortunate state of affairs in that dark land will continue for quite some time to come.
"Excuse me," said the stranger. "I didn't mean to intrude. But I saw everyone here having a meeting and I didn't want to interrupt.

My body will keep those crocodiles fed for weeks. While Tweaty here, and Hootsey and Lisa, are tiny creatures. The crocodiles would not even taste them. Why don't you let them go?"

"Then we had better not take the time to hear it all now," said Hootsey. "We have a very important mission to fulfill." "Yes," agreed Lisa. "But perhaps Mr. Rube could help us. I think we should bring him along." "A grand idea!" exclaimed Ozma. "Mr. Marquard, would you be so kind as to join us on our mission?

She took into her own hands the management of the Hootsey farm, and set the boy to work for her along with the two farm servants.
"I reported to the New York Giants in September of 1908, as soon as the American Association season was over. I was eigh ..." "It still feels a little odd to have you 'remembering' things from years that have not yet been," interrupted Hootsey. "Let him finish the story," admonished Elephant. "I am sorry," said Rube.
