Having managed to protect themselves from the Khadijahs, the group cross the river by use of the raft that Tin Woodman had made. While the other members manage to pass to the other side of the river, the Scarecrow gets stuck on the pole, in the middle of the river. The lion comes to his aid, showing his high level of brevity and resolve to assist them. He swims to the shore, on the other side and manages to pull the raft to safety.

The Scarecrow gets lost and members of the group attempt to look for him. Three of the group members get tired as they try to search for him. Fortunately, a friendly stork manages to rescue the Scarecrow. Having faced the great challenge, the remaining part of the journey becomes easier for the group. They do not encounter an event that would poise some challenge on the activities that they are involved in. They encounter a countryside that is appealing to their eyes and quite welcoming. It is filled with flowers and gives them a happy feeling as they spend some time looking at the flowers and the general beauty that they bear.

The group, however, encounter another problem, they need to walk through a field of poppies. The scent of the poppies is strong. It has a chance of making the Lion, Dorothy and Toto fall asleep. Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow can carry Dorothy and Toto to a place where they can be safe. The Lion is, however, too heavy for them. Thus, they find it quite challenging for them to carry him. They, therefore, leave Lion where he is. They wait by the side of Dorothy and Toto till they manage to wake up from the deep sleep that had befallen them.
