In the original book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the wearer of the Golden Cap could command the Winged Monkeys three times. Dorothy Gale requested them to get herself, Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion to the Emerald City; to get herself and Toto back to Kansas; and to get herself, Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion past the Hill of the Hammer-Heads and safely into the Red Quadling Country of Glinda the Good Witch of the South. The only request that the Monkeys couldn't carry out was the wish to be back in Kansas. For the lands of Oz were surrounded by a desert that the Monkeys weren't allowed to cross. Once at the Red Castle, Dorothy gave the Golden Cap to Glinda. Glinda then called upon the Winged Monkeys to take the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion to their respective kingdoms of Winkieland, the Emerald City, and the Grand Old Forest. She then gave the Cap, and freedom, to the Monkeys.

Dorothy Gale became eligible for three wishes, by becoming the wearer of the Golden Cap. Whoever wore the Cap could command the Winged Monkeys to carry out three wishes. After she had used up her three wishes, Dorothy gave the Cap to Glinda the Good Witch of the South. Glinda used the three wishes to benefit the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. Then she handed the Cap over to the Leader of the Winged Monkeys. The monkeys thereby received their freedom, from ever having to carry out someone else's orders ever again.

According to author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the wearer of the Golden Cap was allowed three wishes for the Winged Monkeys to carry out. Originally, the Cap had been the wedding present of Gayelette, beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North, to her fiance Quelala. But the Wicked Witch of the West had managed to get the Cap, and the right to the fulfillment of three wishes by the Winged Monkeys. With the death of the Wicked Witch of the East, Dorothy had obtained the Slippers. With the death of the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy obtained the Golden Cap. Once her three wishes were used up, she gave the Cap to Glinda the Good Witch of the South. Glinda used her three wishes on the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. And then she gave the Cap, and freedom from fulfillment of any further commands, to the Winged Monkeys.

Transportation to the Emerald City, to Kansas and then toQuadling Country are the three requests made by Dorothy to the Winged Monkeys in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, this incident takes place in the original 1900 book edition, but not the beloved 1939 film version, of "The Wizard of Oz." Three requests may be made of the Winged Monkeys by the wearer of the Golden Cap. Dorothy Gale's first wish is for transportation of her and her friends from the Castle of the Wicked Witch of the West to the Emerald City. Her second wish is for transportation of her and her pet dog Toto back to Kansas. Her third wish is for transportation of her and her four friends away from the hill of the Hammer-Heads and into the Quadling Country of Glinda the Good. The monkeys fulfill all but the second wish, which is impossible since they are not allowed to cross the great desert that separates Oz from the world.
