Dorothy Gale was only 12 years old when she was swept up by a tornado. She did live in a one room farmhouse with Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, four other farmers to help around the farm, and Toto her dog. While Dorothy was in Oz she met three nice friends The Scarecrow, The Tin Man, and The Lion. Her friends all wanted something from The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy wanted to go back home to Kansas where Aunt Em and Uncle Henry were. When Dorothy got to Oz she did not know what to do then she met The Good Witch of the North which told her to follow the yellow brick road to the Wizard of Oz. Her Nickname is "Young Dorothy". (Dorothy Gale was played by Judy Garland.)
The Scarecrow was the first pearson that Dorothy met on her way to The Wizard of Oz. The Scarecrow wanted a brain that he did not know he all ready had. What the Scarecrow did not know was he would be called "The wisest man in all of Oz" The Scarecrow was not scard of anything but...fire. Why wouldn't a hey man be scared of fire that could kill him. (The Scarecrow was played by Ray Bolger.)
The Tin Man was once a real human being like us but the Wicked Witch of the West charmed his ax to cut up his body so he replaced it all with tin. Before The Tin Man was cursed his name was Nick Chopper. What is funny about him is tin does not rust but iron does. The Tin Man's nickname is "Rusty". All The Tin Man wanted was a heart so he could love. (The Tin Man was played by Jack Haley.)
The Lion was the king of the jungle but he lost all of his courage. He was scared of everything so he wanted courage from The Wizard of Oz. The Lionwas called "The Cowardly Lion". This Lion is as big as a hourse and always weres a brightly colored bow on his tail. When Dorothy found The Lion he could not open his eyes because he was so scared of everyone and everything. (The Lion was played by Bert Lahr.)
