Dorothy and her friends were worried and they wanted to get out of the forest as soon as they could, so they hurried along the yellow brick road. It was not long before they came to a wide river.
“What can we do now?” Dorothy exclaimed. “There isn’t a tree tall enough to fall across this river.”
“There’s no problem,” the Scarecrow said. “The Tin Woodman will use his axe to build a raft.”
And this was what the Tin Woodman did. While he was busy making the raft, Dorothy found some wild fruit and nuts, which she ate hungrily. Then, because it was taking the Tin Woodman a long time to finish the raft, Dorothy lay down and went to sleep.
The night passed without any problems, and the next morning the raft was ready. Dorothy sat in the middle with her dog, Toto. The Lion stood at one end and nearly sank it because he was so big and heavy. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman stood at the other end. They both had long poles that they used to push the raft through the water.
At first all went well, but then the river became so deep that the poles could not touch the bottom. The Tin Woodman said, “If we cannot stay near the land and the yellow brick road, the Wicked Witch of the West will use her magic and put a magic word on us.”
“And then we won’t meet the Wizard, and I won’t get a brain,” the Scarecrow said.
“And I won’t get a heart,” the Tin Woodman said.
“And I won’t get any courage,” the Lion said.
“And I’ll never get home to Kansas,” Dorothy said. “We must do something.”
The Scarecrow was able to push the raft to the riverbank. Dorothy, Toto, the Lion and the Tin Woodman got off. Before the Scarecrow could get off, however, the raft moved away from the riverbank and carried the Scarecrow down the river.
Dorothy said, “Perhaps we’ll meet the raft further down the river. The most important thing now is to get back to the yellow brick road and continue with our way to the City of Emeralds.”
The Lion and the Tin Woodman agreed, and they set off along the riverbank. It was not long before they saw the Scarecrow. He was holding onto the pole in the middle of the river. There was no sight of the raft.
