“Let s go and see,” the Scarecrow says.
She follows him into the forest. A man made of tin is standing next to a big tree.

“Can we help you ” Dorothy says.
“Yes!” the man says. “There s an oilcan⑦ in the cottage. Bring it here and put

Dorothy runs back to the little house. She finds the oilcan and goes back to the
Tin Woodman. First she puts some oil on his neck. Then she puts some on his arms
and finally she puts some on his legs.
“That s much better! Thank you very much!” the Tin Woodman says. He turns
his head and bends⑧ his arms and legs. “When it rains, I get wet⑨ and then I can t
move. Water is very bad for my body. ” Toto barks at him but the Tin Woodman isn t
afraid of him.

see the Great Oz in the Emerald City. I want to ask him to send me back to Kansas.
The Scarecrow wants to ask him for a brain. ”
“ I haven t got a heart,” the Tin Woodman says. “Can Oz give me one ”
“ I don t know,” Dorothy replies. “Come with us and ask him. ”
“Thank you,” the Tin Woodman says. He picks up his oilcan and they all start
walking back to the yellow brick road.
