Read the following passage to answer the given questions.
All this time, Dorothy and her companions had been walking through the thick woods. The road was still paved with yellow brick, but these were covered by dried branches and dead leaves from the trees, and the walk was very tedious.
There were, but a few birds in this part of the forest, for birds love the open country where there is plenty of sunshine. But now and then, there came a deep growl from some wild animal hidden among the trees. These sounds made the little girl’s heart beat fast, for she did not know what made them; but Toto knew, and he walked close to Dorothy’s side, and did not even bark in return. ‘How long will it be, ’ the child asked of the Tin Woodman, ‘before we are out of the forest?’
‘I cannot tell, ’ was the answer, ‘for I have never been to the Emerald City. But my father went there once, when I was a boy, and he said it was a long journey through a dangerous country, although nearer to the city where Oz dwells, the country is beautiful. But I am not afraid so long as I have my oil -can, and nothing can hurt the Scarecrow, while you bear upon your forehead the mark of the Good Witch’s kiss, and that will protect you from harm.’
‘But Toto! ’ said the girl anxiously. ‘What will protect him?’
‘We must protect him ourselves if he is in danger, ’ replied the Tin Woodman.
Just as he spoke, there came from the forest a terrible roar, and the next moment a great Lion bounded into the road. With one blow of his paw, he sent the Scarecrow spinning over and over to the edge of the road, and then he struck a t the Tin Woodman with his sharp claws. But to the Lion’s surprise, he could make no impression on the tin, although the Woodman fell over in the road and lay still.
Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face, ran barking towards the Lion, and the great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog, when Dorothy, fearing Toto would be killed, and heedless of danger, rushed forward and slapped the Lion on his nose as hard as she could, while she cried out:
‘Don’t you dare bite Toto! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you, to bite a poor little dog!’
