[00:12.00]Dorothy followed the Yellow Brick Road all afternoon, and then she wondered where she would sleep for the night.
[00:18.41]Not far ahead she saw a small Munchkin village, but all the houses seemed empty.
[00:25.07]When she came to the last and biggest house in the village, she understood why.
[00:29.34]Everyone in the village was there.
[00:32.34]All the Munchkins knew who Dorothy was.
[00:35.40]She was famous, and Boq, the host, was very happy to have her as a guest.
[00:41.26]"You killed the Wicked Witch of the East.
[00:44.04]You must be a powerful witch," Boq said to Dorothy.
[00:49.49]"I am not a witch," replied Dorothy. "I am an ordinary girl."
[00:56.69]"Girl or witch," said Boq, "you can stay at my house."
[01:03.98]In the morning Dorothy said good-bye and continued down the Yellow Brick Road.
[01:08.97]She hadn't walked far when she came to a cornfield.
[01:12.21]In the cornfield was a scarecrow.
[01:15.24]As Dorothy looked at the scarecrow, she thought she saw it blink its eyes.
[01:21.23]"Impossible," thought Dorothy. Then the scarecrow smiled and nodded its head.
[01:27.49]Curious, Dorothy went over to the scarecrow.
[01:31.23]"Good day," said the Scarecrow.
[01:34.43]"Did you speak?" asked Dorothy.
[01:37.29]"Yes," answered the Scarecrow. "How are you?"
[01:41.68]"I'm fine," replied Dorothy. "And you?"
[01:46.44]"I'm not well," said the Scarecrow. "I'm stuck to this pole. Can you help me?"
[01:53.03]Straw men are very light, so Dorothy was able to easily lift him from the pole.
[01:58.77]"Thank you," said the Scarecrow. "I feel better now."
[02:03.31]"You're welcome," said Dorothy.
[02:06.32]"Who are you?" asked the Scarecrow. "And where are you going?"
[02:11.51]"My name is Dorothy, and I am going to the Emerald City to see the Wizard of Oz."
[02:17.01]"Where is the Emerald City, and who is Oz?" asked the Scarecrow.
[02:21.75]"Don't you know?" Dorothy asked in surprise.
[02:25.76]"No, I don't know anything," answered the Scarecrow sadly.
[02:30.49]"My head is made of straw, so I have no brain."
[02:36.02]"Oh," said Dorothy. "I'm sorry to hear that. Oz is a great wizard."
[02:42.30]"Do you think Oz could give me a brain?" asked the Scarecrow hopefully.
[02:47.15]"I don't know," said Dorothy. "But come with me and we will ask him together.
[02:54.48]I'm scared to go and see the Wizard alone. Are you scared?"
[02:58.61]"Oh, I'm not afraid," answered the Scarecrow.
[03:02.51]"I'll tell you a secret: there is only one thing in the world that I am afraid of—"
[03:07.47]"The farmer who made you?" interrupted Dorothy.
[03:11.69]"Oh no," said the Scarecrow. "I'm afraid of fire."
[03:16.77]"Let's not talk about fire and scary things," said Dorothy. "Tell me a story."
[03:22.43]"Me?" exclaimed the Scarecrow. "My life has been too short.
[03:27.88]I was made only two days ago.
[03:30.49]Why don't you tell me about the place you are from?"
[03:34.20]Dorothy told the Scarecrow about her aunt and uncle and their farm in Kansas.
[03:38.62]She was very sad.
[03:40.68]"Why are you sad?" asked the Scarecrow.
[03:44.21]"You said Kansas is dull and boring. Why do you want to go back?"
[03:49.19]"Because, my brainless friend, there is no place like home," said Dorothy, weeping.
[03:55.94]"Shall we spend the night over there?" asked the Scarecrow, pointing to a cottage.
[04:01.17]"Okay," said Dorothy.
[04:03.76]The next morning when Dorothy woke up, she said, "I need water."
[04:08.31]"Why do you need water?" asked the Scarecrow.
[04:11.65]"I need water to wash my face and to drink with breakfast," she replied.
[04:17.32]"Being alive sounds inconvenient," said the Scarecrow.
[04:20.93]"You need to sleep, wash, eat, and drink.
[04:25.12]But you have a brain, and I'd do anything for a brain."
[04:29.68]Behind the cottage they found a clear spring.
[04:32.69]Dorothy realized she didn't have much bread left, so she was glad her friend didn't eat.
[04:38.00]After breakfast Dorothy was startled to hear what sounded like a low groan.
[04:42.82]The noise came from the forest nearby.
[04:45.88]"Wh . . . what was that?" asked Dorothy fearfully.
[04:49.70]"I don't know," said the Scarecrow.
[04:52.96]"But we should go look. Someone may be hurt."
[04:57.19]They heard another low groan. "Look!" shouted Dorothy.
[05:01.84]"What's that through the trees?"
[05:04.27]They entered the forest and were amazed at what they saw.
[05:07.83]A man, made of tin and holding an ax, stood frozen, as if he was about to chop a tree.
