     Dorothy and her two friends walked along the yellow brick road for several miles, and they still had quite a distance to go "I'm going to rest against this tree for a little while" she said.  While Dorothy rested, the scarecrow and the tinman talked "we don't have to go to that wizard to get what we need" the tinman said, "why not?" the scarecrow asked, "she has a heart and a brain inside of her" the tinman replied, "how will be get them out of her?" the scarecrow asked, "I will use my axe" the tinman replied, "what will happen to her?" the scarecrow questioned "she will be dead" the tinman replied "I don't like that idea" the scarecrow said "it's either that, or walking a few more miles" the tinman replied "let's keep walking" the scarecrow said "you are no fun" the tinman replied.

     After several minutes, Dorothy remained asleep.  The tinman and the scarecrow grew impatient "I changed my mind.  Let's cut her open" the scarecrow said, "good choice" the tinman replied.  Little did they know, a munchkin was hiding in the forest.

     The tinman's arm creaked, as he picked up his axe.  However, Dorothy remained asleep.  Then, the munchkin jumped out of the forest.  He tried tackling the tinman, but he ended up knocking himself out.  The tinman turned his attention to the munchkin.

     When the munchkin started to get up, the tinman stepped on his back, breaking every bone in his back.  While he was cutting of the munchkin's head, Dorothy woke up.  As the tinman continued chopping up the munchkin, blood squirted all over him.  The scarecrow stood back far enough.  He only got a few drops of blood on him.  Dorothy sat against the tree trembling.  She covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming.  Once he finished cutting up the munchkin, the tinman looked over at Dorothy.  She stood up, and she ran through the forest as fast as she could.

     The tinman and the scarecrow followed Dorothy through the forest.  The scarecrow was faster, but he didn't have a weapon.  He was close behind Dorothy, but she was slightly faster.  At that point, Dorothy entered an open area of the forest "now where?" she wondered.

     As the tinman and the scarecrow drew closer to Dorothy, she heard a voice in the trees behind her "get down" the voice said.  Dorothy laid on the ground, while a giant lion jumped out from behind the trees.  He took a bite out of the scarecrow's arm, but the lion wasn't done yet.  He ripped apart the scarecrow piece by piece.  Finally the tinman knocked the lion out with the back of his axe.

     The tinman once again turned his attention to Dorothy "there's nobody left to save you" he said.  She just turned around, and continued running through the forest.  She had no idea where she was going.  She just knew, she had to get away from the tinman.

     While Dorothy ran through the forest, she discovered what looked like a cabin a few feet away from her.  However, as she walked closer to the cabin, she tripped over her own shoes "darn Ruby slippers" she exclaimed.  Dorothy hit her head on a rock.  When the tinman finally caught up to her, he realized she was knocked unconscious.  He picked Dorothy up, and he carried her away.
