"I thought you asked Dorothy to kill the Witch," said the Scarecrow, in surprise.
"So I did. I don't care who kills her.
But until she is dead I will not grant your wish.
Now go, and do not seek me again until you have earned the brains you so greatly desire."
The Scarecrow went sorrowfully back to his friends and told them waht Oz had said; then she said, "until the witch's dead I will not grant your wish."
and Dorothy was surpriseed to find that the Great Wizard was not a Head, as she had seen him, but a lovely lady.
"All the same," said the Scarecrow, "she needs a heart as much as the Tin Woodman."
On the next morning the soldier with the green whiskers came to the Tin Woodman and said:
"Oz has sent for you. Follow me."
So the Tin Woodman followed him and came to the great Throne Room.
He did not know whether he would find Oz a lovely lady or a Head, but he hoped it would be the lovely lady.
"For," he said to himself, "if it is the head, I am sure I shall not be given a heart, since a head has no heart of its own and therefore cannot feel for me.
But if it is the lovely lady I shall beg hard for a heart, for all ladies are themselves said to be kindly hearted."
