James Bond had no choice but to get up off of the road after being beaten silly by munchkins. He knew what he had to do now, He had to set off and find this emerald city, or whatever it was called. This task, he knew, would not be easy for he didn't know where to go in a place like this. Where do you go, he thought, when you don't know where you're going?
He was dragged out of his thoughts by the sudden appearance of a crossroad. He had to decide which way to go before he continued.
"Which way to the Emerald City," he said aloud.
"Well," said a feminine voice, "a lot of people often go straight, but they never talk to themselves."
Bond looked around. Where had that voice come from? Was he hearing things now, too?
He looked to his right and he saw a scarecrow, only he didn't know how a scarecrow could talk, but then again.
This scarecrow was different then other scarecrows Bond had seen before. This one was beautiful, and he instantly found himself attracted to it. He made his move, and approached the scarecrow. Suddenly, an ear of corn was thrown at him.
"Listen, buster," the scarecrow said. "I'm for looks only, ok. Besides, you're a human and I'm a scarecrow. What would my boyfriend say if he knew I was hanging out with you?"
"You have a boyfriend," Bond asked incredulously.
"Yeah," she said. "He has a spot over in the back thirty acres, you know."
"I can't say that I've met him," Bond answered truthfully.
"What are you up to anyway," the scarecrow asked.
"I'm off to the emerald city to stop the wizard from terrorizing the munchkins."
The scarecrow moved to hit him. "You leave the wizard alone," she said angrily. "If it wasn't for him, I'd have no boyfriend and we wouldn't be able to do it."
"I have my orders to stop the wizard," Bond said finally. "I bid you farewell," and with that he marched off to the Emerald City.
