From the library
“Now,” said the Scarecrow to the Tin Woodman, “you must go to those trees by the riverside and make a truck that will carry the Lion.”
So the Woodman went at once to the trees and began to work; and he soon made a truck out of the limbs of trees, from which he chopped away all the leaves and branches.
So fast and so well did he work that by the time the mice began to arrive the truck was all ready for them.
The Scarecrow and the Woodman now began to fasten the mice to the truck, using the strings they had brought.
