The The Wizard o Oz poppy field and the Great Oz Chapter 5 The four friends and Toto walk and walk and arrive at a poppy field1. When there are a lot of these flowers together, their perfume is very powerful and when you breathe2 it, you fall asleep. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman know that. But Dorothy doesn t know. She can t get away from the red poppies. So her eyes are heavy and she sleeps. We must hurry3 and get back to the road of yellow bricks before the night comes, says the Tin Woodman. Yes, and we must carry Dorothy with us, or the smell of the flowers will kill her, says the Lion. Let us make a chair with our hands, and carry her and Toto, says the Scarecrow. And so they leave the poppy field. When Dorothy wakes up, she sees her friends around her. They tell her about the poppies and she thanks them for their help. The travellers continue to walk and after some time they see a green city. That s the Emerald City and we are very near! says Dorothy. Isn t it beautiful? says the Tin Woodman. Oz must really be a wonderful wizard to live in a city like that! says the Cowardly Lion. Let s hurry! says the Scarecrow. Yes, let s run! says Dorothy. 1. poppy field: 2. breathe: take air into your lungs to live. 3. hurry: move quickly. 49
