Chapter 3 the scarecrow with the green wool hat
Once she had the boots upon her feet,Stephanie began walking along the yellow brick road. As she was walking,she passed by a cornfield and heard some one singing to the birds.
Wondering who could possibly be singing,since there was no one around but her,Stephanie finally saw a tall scarecrow with a green wool hat attached to a pole.
Doing a double take,Stephanie knew in a minute who the scarecrow reminded her of. Smacking herself in the forehead, Stephanie hopped over the fence,and walked to the scarecrow.
"Excuse me,but did I hear you singin?"asked Stephanie
"Maybe,depending on who's askin."said scarecrow Mike
"Funny,I thought scarecrows were supposed to scare away the birds,not sing to them."said Stephanie
"I tried scaring them,but then I'd have no one to talk to so,I started singing to sort of keep them around for company."scarecrow Mike sighed
"I guess that makes sense."said Stephanie
"Now that I told you somethin about me,maybe you could tell me what a nice kid like you,is doing in a place like this."said scarecrow Mike
"Well,I'm kinda lost."said Stephanie"I remember being home in California one minute rehearsing for a play,then I slipped on Micky's drumstick,hit my head and wound up here."
"Sounds like you've been through an awful lot,wish I could help you out but,I'm sort of stuck."said scarecrow Mike
"Maybe I can help you,if you just tell me what to do."said Stephanie
"If you could just pull that nail down in the back,I can drop to the ground I guess."said scarecrow Mike
Pulling down the nail at the back of the pole,Stephanie soon heard a thud as the scarecrow hit the ground. Helping him to his feet,Stephanie invited him to come along with her to see the wizard.
Shrugging his shoulders after taking a final look around the cornfield,the scarecrow held out his arm,which Stephanie wrapped hers around,and the two of them headed down the road together.
Knowing that there was a lot more for her to do before she's able to go home,Stephanie was definitely looking forward to whatever comes next.
