The next morning, the four friends go to Oz's room. The Scarecrow (稻草人) asks Oz, "Is my brain (大脑) ready?"
The little man opens a green box with the word "brain" on it. He slowly puts a brain into the Scarecrow's head.
"Now you are a very clever scarecrow, " says Oz.
The Tin Woodman (铁皮人) is next.
"Where is my heart?" he asks.
Oz takes out a beautiful red heart from the green box.
"Here is a special red heart. Wear it all the time, " says Oz.
"Thank you!" says the Tin Woodman. "Now I can love someone. "
"Now, you must give me courage!" says the Lion.
Oz gives him a green bottle with the word "courage" on it.
The Lion drinks it quickly and then smiles.
"I am very, very brave now!" says the Lion, "Thank you!"
"And what about Toto and me?" asks Dorothy quietly.
"I can take you to Kansas in my hot—air balloon (气球), "says Oz. "Come with me!"
But Toto suddenly sees a cat and runs after it. "Toto!Come here!" says Dorothy. She runs after Toto to pick it up. But it's too late. The rope (绳子) breaks and the big hot—air balloon goes up into the sky with Oz in it.
"Go to the land of the Quadlings, Goodbye, " cries Oz "The Good Witch of the South lives there. She can help you!" Then Oz and the hot—air balloon fly far away.
