A few minutes went by. The Scarecrow looked near every building. His eyes widened as soon as he viewed the man with Alice in Wonderland. The Scarecrow hesitated. Part of him refused to obtain the book. Perhaps the Mad Hatter was going to mention every word from the book if it wasn't returned to him. The horror!

*My friend* the Scarecrow thought while his shoulders slumped. He watched as the man walked to a pawn shop. He ran to him. The Scarecrow watched while the man paused and turned to him.

The man's smile returned. ''Oh. It's you again. Your friend with the hat is sobbing about his book?''

*Most likely!* the Scarecrow thought after his scowl came back.

''I'm not returning the book to your friend.''

''Ohhh. You will return the book,'' the Scarecrow said. He approached the man and pointed every finger. Red gas emerged from the fingers before the man inhaled. The Scarecrow stepped back. He watched while the man's eyes widened. His enemy's body trembled.

The man saw many ''spiders'' on his body. ''Spiders! Spiders!'' He dropped the book and fled another time.
