It was very dark, and the windhowled horribly around her, but Dorothy found she was riding quite easily.After the first few whirls around, and one other time when the house tippedbadly, she felt as if she were being rocked gently, like a baby in a cradle.

Toto did not like it. He ranabout the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quitestill on the floor and waited to see what would happen.

Once Toto got too near the opentrap door, and fell in; and at first the little girl thought she had lost him.But soon she saw one of his ears sticking up through the hole, for the strongpressure of the air was keeping him up so that he could not fall. She crept tothe hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again,afterward closing the trap door so that no more accidents could happen.
