Dorothy and the Munchkins / The Wizard of Oz / The little people who lived in Munchkinland were overjoyed when a tornado / dropped Dorothy's house right on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. / Although the Munchkins were shy at first, they were soon telling the story of / the "young lady who fell from a star," celebrating her as their hero. They didn't / know how to grant her wish--to go home to Kansas--but they had an idea. / Perhaps the wonderful Wizard who lived in the Emerald City could help. / To see just how shy the Munchkins were, press the button on the side / of the ornament. When Dorothy begins to speak, she turns toward / the Munchkins and they hide behind the flower. They appear again / as she turns away. / Dorothy: I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. We must be over the rainbow! / Ken Crow / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / Use only with standard UL, cUL, or CSA listed or certified miniature light strings / using push-in type bulbs, having multiple of 35 bulbs or 50 bulbs in series. / Typical electrical raging 6 volts, 1.2 watts. / Not for use with blinking lights. / Complete display instructions enclosed. / Linited Warranty through 2009 enclosed. / For decorative use only.
