Part 2

Dorothy told him about the wonderful wizard who could give him a heart. The tin man joined them, and they continued down the yellow brick road. Next, they met a huge lion. He was curled up in a little ball, he was very afraid. A mouse had bitten his tail. He was very cowardly, but Dorothy calmed him. She asked him to join in their journey to the Emerald City where the wizard would give him some courage.

They continued their journey to the wizard and didn’t know that the witch followed them. The wicked witch of the west was furious that Dorothy had killed her sister and she wanted her sister’s slippers back. She told her soldiers to bring them to her, but they helped to each other and she couldn’t do it. They overcame the witch and suddenly a wizard appeared. The wizard thanked Dorothy for saving him and freeing Oz of not just one, but two horrible witches. "As a reward, the Scarecrow got his brain, the Tin-man got his heart, and the lion got his courage.
