A few words to begin

On the east edge of the Land of Oz, in the Munchkin Country, is a big, tall hill called Mount Munch.

The Munchkin folks, however, merely stand off and look at Mount Munch and know very little about it; for, about a third of the way up, its sides become too steep to climb, and if any people live upon the top of that great towering peak that seems to reach nearly to the skies, the Munchkins are not aware of the fact.
