Dorothy: A mini-saga

“...if I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any farther than my own backyard; because if it isn’t there, I never really lost it to begin with!” - Dorothy in L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz

Scrabbling in the grass, frantically pawing at the ground underneath; where had she hidden it? Burying her heart’s desire so that none other could have it, she could not now find it herself. Such irony! There it was! Dorothy grabbed the bone in her teeth and ran off to gnaw.
