Hi guys we have some exciting news as you know we're all on lockdown so we can't bring any

kids to our studio so we will be recording kids at their homes with their cell phones or any other recording device.

This means that we can literally record kids from anywhere.

So the next episode is going to be truly global.

We're looking for kids from each continent to participate,

aged about 8 to 12,

although we would be happy to try out younger kids if you feel you're a strong reader.

Keen?

Chapter 18, Away to the South.

Dorothy wept bitterly at the passing of her hope to get home to Kansas again. But when she thought it all over, she was

glad she had not gone up in a balloon, and she also felt sorry at losing Oz.

And so did her companions.

The Tin Woodman came to her and said,

Truly I should be ungrateful.

If I failed to mourn for the man who gave me my lovely heart.

I should like to cry a little,

because others gone,

if you will kindly wipe away my tears

so that I shall not rust.

With pleasure.

She answered, and brought a towel at once.
