Chapter 4

Brook looked down at her feet. She didn't realize it when she crossed into a corn field.

She looked up and saw two paths both on the yellow brick road.

"Which way do I go?" Brook wondered aloud. She was surprised when someone answered.

"Some people go this way." Brook turned to face the scarecrow.

"Who said that?" She asked. "But of course some people go the other way as well."

Brook tilted her head in confusion. "wasn't that scarecrow pointing the other way?"

"But some of them go both ways." Brook watched the scarecrow talk and move. "So it was you! but, how are you talking? Your nothing but straw."

"I don't know. I just am. I have a heart and arms and a face. But I have no brain. I wish I had one though."

Brook smiled.

"You can come with me to the wizard of Oz. I heard he's a miracle worker."

Scarecrow nodded. "I would love to come. But sadly I can't. I have this pole stuck up my back, think you could help me?"

Brook nodded, and slipped the pole out as she properly introduced herself.

"I'm Dorothy Pickets."

Scarecrow smiled, then frowned when crows came along and plucked corn.

"Being a scarecrow is boring, plus since I don't have a brain, I don't know how to be scary, so the stupid crows just laugh at me."

Scarecrow began to walk, but fell. Brook helped him up.

"Are you sure you can walk?"

"Of course I can! I'm just a little bit rusty. But I still can make it."

The crows laughed as Brook helped scarecrow every time he fell.

She cursed under her breath, and kept on getting punishments for swearing from scarecrow. Finally he asked, "So how did you get here?"

Brook held her breath and told him the long story.

"Well, I lived in Kansis before, but then I ran off, and took my dog Toto with me. But there was a twister and I got caught in it. I met Glinda, she told me about the wizard, and here I am."

Scarecrows face showed concern. "Where is Titi?" Brook laughed. "Actually, it's Toto. and he's right here."

Brook motioned for Toto to come out of her bag. The little black dog came out and sniffed him.

Brook smiled.

For once she felt like she could trust this guy.

Well, this Scarecrow.
