Long, long after Dorothy, Toto and the rest of the gang left the land of
Oz, Good Witch Glenda of the North was horribly bored. She spent her days
just floating around in her little bubble gazing at the land of OZ, hoping
for someone to help or inspire. One day while floating around in her bubble,
she passed over a pond and saw a lonely little yellow toad perched on a
lily pad.He looked extremely depressed.She floated down to the toad and
asked him what could be the matter. "Oh Good Witch Glenda, you are right. I
am horribly depressed. I am completely colored yellow, whereas all the
other little toads in the pond are green. Won't you please help me?"
Mustering up all of her kind heartedness and good will, she waved her magic
wand over the toad and his color changed to green. That is, all except his
'private parts.' They remained yellow.
"Good Witch Glenda! Thank you so much, but my lower extremities! They're
yellow and the rest of me is green!" "I'm sorry, dear little toad. My
powers are strong, but apparently not strong enough. The only person who
may be able to help you might be the Wizard, the Wizard of Oz." So, in
hopeful anticipation, the toad began hopping off toward the castle where the
Wizard of Oz resided. Glenda the Good Witch continued her surveillance of
the land of Oz, floating around in her bubble. As she was passing over a
pasture, she looked down to spot a pink elephant who, like the toad before
him, also lookedhorribly depressed. "Oh Good Witch Glenda, you are right. I
am horribly depressed. I am completely colored pink, whereas all the
other elephants in the pasture are gray. Won't you please help me?"
Mustering up all of her kind heartedness and good will, she waved her magic
wand over the elephant and his color changed to gray. That is,... all
except his 'private parts.' They remained pink.
"Good Witch Glenda! Thank you so much, but my lower extremities! They're
pink and the rest of me is gray!" "I'm sorry, dear elephant. My powers are
strong, but apparently not strong enough. The only person who may be able
to help you might be the Wizard, the Wizard of Oz." "Well that's fine and
dandy, but where may I find this fabled 'Wizard of Oz?'"
AND OF COURSE YOU KNOW WHAT SHE TOLD HIM...
"Just follow the yellow-prick toad."
