The yellow brick road went on through the forest and
Dorothy was becoming a little afraid.
"How big is this forest?" the girl asked the Tin Man. "Are
we far from the Emerald City?"
"1 don't know," the Tin Man replied. "There may be wild
animals living here, but don't worry. Animals don't eat straw
or tin. You are made of flesh, but you are safe because the
good Witch has kissed you."
"But what about my dog, Toto?" Dorothy asked.
At that moment, they all heard a terrible sound. It was
the roar of a Lion! Then the Lion ran onto the road and
knocked over the Scarecrow.
22
With another roar, the Lion knocked over the Tin Man
too.
Toto was very brave. He ran up to the Lion, barking
loudly. The Lion opened his mouth.
"No, no!" Dorothy shouted and she hit the Lion on his
nose. "How dare you! You coward36! How dare you bite a
poor little dog!"
"I didn't bite him. I only opened my mouth," the Lion
said. "I am a coward and I am afraid of everything. When I
roar, my heart beats very fast because I have no courage37."
"At least you have a heart," the Tin Man said. "I don't. I
am going to ask the Wizard of Oz for one."
"You have brains too," the Scarecrow said to the
Cowardly Lion. "I don't. But I am going to ask the Wizard of
Oz for some."
"Toto and I want to go home to Kansas. I am going to ask
Oz to help us get back there," Dorothy said.
"Do you think that Oz can give me courage?" the
Cowardly Lion asked. "Then I wouldn't be a coward
anymore."
"The Wizard of Oz is very powerful," Dorothy replied.
"You are welcome to come with us and ask him."
And so they went on their way. The Scarecrow carried
Dorothy's basket and the Cowardly Lion walked by her side.
Toto was afraid of the huge animal at first, but they soon
became friends.
That night, they had to sleep in the forest. The Tin Man
cut down a tree and made a fire with the wood. Dorothy and
Toto ate the last of their bread.
"There is no food for breakfast," Dorothy said.
"I can kill an animal for you," the Cowardly Lion told her.
"Then you can cook it on the fire."
"I think that it is wrong to kill anything," the Tin Man
said. "But as I have no heart, I am not sure."

The Cowardly Lion did not answer. He went into the
forest and was away for some time.
The Scarecrow found a nut38 tree and he picked some
nuts.
"Put them in your basket, my dear," he said to Dorothy.
"You can have them for breakfast. Now you and Toto must
sleep. I will stand under this tree, away from the fire."
Dorothy and Toto slept well. In the morning, the girl ate
the nuts and drank some water from a stream. Soon, all the
friends were walking along the yellow brick road again.
It was not an easy day. After a time, they came to a very wide
ditch39. The ditch divided the forest in two and it was too
wide to cross. Dorothy walked to the edge of the ditch and
looked into it.
"We can't climb down there," she said. "The ditch is too
deep and there are rocks40 at the bottom. What can we do?"
The Scarecrow and the Tin Man looked at each other, but
they did not speak. The Cowardly Lion walked to Dorothy's
side and looked across the ditch.
"I think that I could jump over it," the Cowardly Lion
said at last.
"Then you can carry us on your back," the Scarecrow
said. "Take me first. If I fall, the rocks won't hurt me."
"If I fall, I will be killed," the Lion replied. "That makes
me very afraid. But get on my back. I will try to jump across."
So the Scarecrow got on the Lion's back and the animal
did a great jump. When he landed safely on the other side,
the Tin Man and Dorothy shouted happily.
The Lion jumped back for Dorothy and Toto.
"Hold on!" the Cowardly Lion cried and he jumped again.
When Dorothy was safe on the other side, the Lion went
back for the Tin Man. Then the huge animal had to rest.
The forest was dark now, but the yellow brick road went on.
24
"Will this forest never end?" Dorothy asked sadly.
They walked on and soon they came to another ditch.
"I'm sorry, but I can't jump that. It is too wide," the
Cowardly Lion said. "What can we do now?"
"I have an idea," the Scarecrow said at last. "Look, there
is a tall tree next to the ditch. If the Tin Man cuts the tree
down, it will fall across the ditch like a bridge. Then we can
all walk across to the other side."
"That is a great idea," the Lion said.
The Tin Man picked up his axe and began to work at
once. He chopped41 at the tree for some time. When it was
ready to fall, the Lion pushed the tree hard and it fell across
the ditch. Now they could all walk to the other side.
Dorothy went first, with Toto in her arms. The Tin Man
followed, then the Scarecrow. The Lion came last of all.
