Woot, the Tin Woodman, and the Scarecrow (the last two are rather like an old married couple, chatting in a desultory way about the past) set out to find the girl. … However, like in all well done fantasy tales, you usually end up finding other kind of troubles that show you that life doesn't come easy to anyone (even in a magical land) and when you think you're facing an impossible puzzle with no way out to the surface, somehow, if you try hard enough, there just might be one.
