The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter V. The Rescue of the Tin Woodman, sentence 100

Dorothy did not say anything, for she was puzzled to know which of her two friends was right, and she decided if she could only get back to Kansas and Aunt Em, it did not matter so much whether the Woodman had no brains and the Scarecrow no heart, or each got what he wanted.

Who acts: Dorothy, it, Woodman, each, Scarecrow · What happens: not say, puzzle, know, be, decide, get back · To what, where: anything, Dorothy, brains · Speech: someone speaks here
