One of the larger Light Bulbs saw them
approaching and lit up. "Look, fellows!" he said. "It's Biff! And he has
brought some friends along!"
"Hi, Watts!" said Biff to the light bulb. "Me is so happy to seeing you!
Me haves the Queen of Oz here, too. Her wants to meet you. Her are much
good and nice. You are liking her?"
"Of course," replied Watts. "Any friend of Biff's is a friend of mine!"
He extended one of his long appendages to the small queen. She took it
in her hand. "It is a pleasure," said Watts to Ozma. "I had heard that
Oz had a new queen. I am glad to see that you are a kind-looking one."
"Thank you," said Ozma.
"So what can I do for you?" asked Watts, quickly realizing that there
had to be some sort of business that had brought the queen to see him.
"Well," began Ozma, not sure just how to begin her explanation, "the
Lunechien Forest of Oz has come upon a problem."
"Oh, no!" said Watts. "That's awful! What kind of a problem?"
"It seems that there is a terrible monster that is threatening our fine
forest," she began. "A very large spider-like creature."
"Sounds beastly!" shuddered the light bulb.
"And he can sap away the energy from any living creature and render him
an empty shell of himself," added Tweaty.
