Joyful reunion, isn't it? But it makes me tired to see grown people cry like children.

Oho! exclaimed the Wizard.

How does it happen, Mr. Goat, that you, who have never been to the Land of Oz, are able to talk?
gpt
That's my business,
human
I see; you are under an enchantment. Indeed, I believe you to be Prince Bobo of Boboland.

This is a great discovery, said the Wizard, addressing Dorothy and the others of the party.

A good many years ago a cruel magician transformed the gallant Prince of Boboland into a talking goat, and this goat, being ashamed of his condition, ran away and was never after seen in Boboland, which is a country far to the south of here but bordering on the Deadly Desert, opposite the Land of Oz. I heard of this story long ago and know that a diligent search has been made for the enchanted Prince, without result. But I am well assured that, in the animal you call Bilbil, I have discovered the unhappy Prince of Boboland.

Dear me, Bilbil, said Rinkitink,

What would be the use?

The use?

Yes, that's the trouble, said the Wizard.

It is one of the most powerful enchantments ever accomplished, and the magician is now dead and the secret of the anti-charm lost. Even I, with all my skill, cannot restore Prince Bobo to his proper form. But I think Glinda might be able to do so and if you will all return with Dorothy and me to the Land of Oz, where Ozma will make you welcome, I will ask Glinda to try to break this enchantment.
