The Wizard of Oz - Chapter 15: The Discovery of Oz, The Terrible

Updated: Oct 27


📚✨ The Wizard of Oz: The Discovery of Oz, The Terrible 🎩🌪️

Hello, brave adventurers! 🧒🧙‍♂️ It’s time to join Dorothy and her friends for another exciting chapter in The Wizard of Oz. This time, they finally confront the mysterious Wizard of the Emerald City, expecting to receive the gifts they were promised. But oh, what a surprise awaits them! 🎩😲



A Big Surprise Behind the Curtain! 🎩🧙‍♂️

When Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, and the Lion return to the Emerald City after defeating the Wicked Witch of the West, they expect Oz to keep his promises. But here’s what they discover:


🚪 A Mysterious Throne Room: The friends step into the grand Throne Room, expecting to see the Wizard as they had before. But this time, there’s nobody there! A strange, booming voice echoes through the room, claiming to be Oz. 😮

🎭 A Secret Revealed: The Lion’s mighty roar knocks over a screen, and behind it, they find a small, old man with a wrinkled face. It turns out that the great and powerful Oz is just a regular man—a humbug! He’s been pretending to be a wizard using clever tricks like a giant paper head and ventriloquism. 🧔📜

💭 Their Wishes, Granted with a Twist!: Despite being a “humbug,” Oz promises to give each of the friends what they’ve been seeking:

  • 🧠 Scarecrow’s Brains: Oz mixes bran with pins and needles and stuffs them into the Scarecrow’s head. “Now you have brains that are sharp!” he says.

  • 💖 Tin Woodman’s Heart: The Tin Woodman receives a heart made of silk and stuffed with sawdust. It’s not real magic, but it’s enough to make him feel complete.

  • 🦁 Lion’s Courage: The Lion drinks a special potion that Oz says will fill him with courage. And just like that, the Lion feels braver than ever!


What We Can Learn from the Wizard 🧠💖🦁

✨ Be True to Yourself: Oz felt like he had to pretend to be something he wasn’t—a great wizard. But in the end, being honest and true is always better! 🧡

✨ Believe in Your Own Strength: The Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion already had what they needed inside them—they just needed a little confidence boost. 💫

✨ Friends Make Everything Better: Even though they discovered that Oz was not a real wizard, Dorothy and her friends still appreciated his effort to help them. Friendship makes even the toughest situations easier! 😊
