Ozma was indeed delighted to have her friend the china princess come home to her and she made sure she and the minstrel had the most comfortable accommodations in the china castle in her room. Ozma then dubbed the giant butterfly her personal steed as the two of them had become so close to each other.

"I should be returning home now," said the Tin Man. "I shouldn't be staying away from my home and family longer than is necessary.

"So should I," added the Scarecrow. "I wouldn't want my son to get behind in school.

"And me too," said the Lion. "Me and Zuza have preparations to make for our wedding soon."

"I also have a family and an important job at my home to return to," Mr. Wogglebug agreed.

"I should return to my family and Kansas right away too," said Dorothy. "Though I wish we were as well off as all of you are here," she added remembering the hardships her family was now facing.

Ozma smiled and said, "There's no need to worry, Dorothy. Things will get better soon, just wait and see."

So then Dorothy hugged all of her friends goodbye and none of them felt any words needed to be spoken. Except for the Wogglebug who said, "Until we meet again."

Dorothy clicked the heels of the Ruby Slippers together and wished to be home and then before she knew it she was standing in her bedroom in Kansas in the exact same spot she had been when she left. She undressed and tucked herself into bed and fell asleep hoping Ozma had been right about things getting better soon.

The next day Dorothy, Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and the farmhands made their annual trip to the Summer county fair to put up what crops and livestock they could. Most of the people there it seemed would only pass by their share without even a second look for it was such a meager amount.

Then, almost out of nowhere, a young girl of Dorothy's age came up to them. She was wearing a green and white checked gingham dress and a green sunbonnet on her head which was full of reddish brown ringlets. Curiously, Dorothy approached her.

"Have we met before?" she asked.

"I don't think so," the girl replied. "My family and I just moved here not too long ago. My name is Olsa, by the way."

"My name is Dorothy Gale," she replied and shook her hand.

Olsa then noticed their shortage of crops and livestock. "Why do you have so few goods this year, if you don't mind my asking?"

"There was tornado a few months ago and it ruined most of our crops and livestock," Dorothy explained.

"I'm very sorry to hear that," said Olsa. "You know, my family has more crops and livestock then we know what to do with and so I'm sure if we talked to my parents about your situation they would willingly share with you and your family."

"But isn't that charity?" asked Dorothy. "I don't know if my aunt and uncle would accept it from strangers."

"But isn't it better than just waiting for something else to happen?" asked Olsa.

"I suppose you're right," agreed Dorothy.

Then Olsa found her parents and they met with Dorothy's aunt and uncle and after getting to know each other a bit they made mention of their offer to help them out by splitting their crops and livestock with them. The Gales were at first a bit reluctant but after a bit of negotiating they agreed.

Dorothy and Olsa then got to know each other more and found they had much in common. After the fair the two family's drove back to the Gale farm together and that evening as they all had dinner together there was a light shower of rain outside and within moments of its passing a rainbow appeared briefly in the sky.

"I've always loved rainbows," said Olsa, "and I've often wondered if there is some place beyond it. Do you suppose there could be?"

"I'm sure there is," said Dorothy.
