The witch tells Dorothy that her house has just landed on and killed the Witch of East.The Witch of North acquainted Dorothy with the Land of Oz, there were four witches, two of whom were good witches. However, the witches who dwelt in the East and the West were wicked. She advises Dorothy to seek out the Great Wizard, Oz, who was living in the Emerald City to find a way back to her home. “Remember to follow the yellow brick road. It’ll lead you to the Emerald City,” the kind Witch says. 

     On the long journey, Toto isn’t the only comrade for Dorothy as she meets a Scarecrow, a Tin Woodsman and a Cowardly Lion who had longed for different things. The first comrade they meet was the Scarecrow, who accompanies the Dorothy hoping to fulfill his ambition to have a brain instead of straw. 

     The next is the tin woodsman. His desire is to be given a heart as he believes that love is the most valuable possession of all. The last dreamer they encounter is the Lion, who wishes to visit the Emerald City in order to gain the bravery that he believes he lacks. Despite their poor self-image, each of the trio seems to already have what they claim to lack. The scarecrow shows a thoughtful nature on the long trip; the tin-man shows his tender nature and the lion performs acts of courage that the bravest creature would be proud of.
