“Look! A forest!” cried the Tin Man.
“Yeah. It might have a mean surprise,” said the Scarecrow.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the bushes:
“Warning. A lion is about to jump out from the bushes and will inquire on your purpose in this forest. The lion does not want to startle anyone, so he thought it would be appropriate if visitors were notified in advance. Thank you.”
Suddenly, a roaring lion leaped out from the bushes, and landed in front of the trio. “What do you want?”
“Well, that was smartly done,” Tin Man said.
“I said, what do you want?”
“We need nothing. We just wanta kut through the forest so we can reach the Wizard.” replied Dorothy.
“Very well, you may pass.”

“So now we can take you to the Wizard! Let’s go!”
