Dorothy Gale has just ended her struggle with the apple trees. She is about to pick up two apples when she sees a tin foot. She realizes that the foot belongs to a tin man who is next to an oil can. She says, 'Why, it's a man! A man made out of tin!'When the tin man squeaks out, 'Oil can...oil can...', Dorothy says, 'Did you say something?' The tin man repeats, 'Oil can...', to which Dorothy responds, 'Oil can? Oh - oh, here it is! Where do you want to be oiled first?' The tin man directs her, 'My mouth - mouth!' And then the Tin Woodman is able to tell his story to Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, and her friend the Scarecrow.

In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', the Wizard tried to Dodge filling the different requests made of him by Dorothy and her friends the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. But he finally agreed to make sure that each and every one of the four requests got granted. For example, the Tin Woodman wanted a heart. The Wizard said that a heart needed to be unbreakable. He therefore gave what he called a 'testimonial' to the Tin Woodman. It was the tick-tock sound that in its own way was reminiscent of a heartbeat that got the Tin Woodman's attention. He said, 'Oh, oh, it ticks! Listen! Look, it ticks!'

The Tin Woodman received the benefit of having his wish for a heart granted. Although he didn't realize it, he already had a heart. But he didn't know that, and needed the supposed bestowal of such by the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy had her own concerns, about getting herself and her pet dog Toto home. But she saw to it that the Tin Woodman's request was granted. In the book, the Wizard gave the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and stuffed with sawdust. In the 1939 film version, he gave the Tin Woodman a testimonial, which looked and ticked like a clock. The Tin Woodman also received the benefit of Dorothy handing the Golden Cap over to Glinda the Good Witch of the South. The wearer of the Cap could call upon the Winged Monkeys to carry out three wishes. Dorothy allowed Glinda to use up the three wishes on safe transport of the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion to their respective kingdoms of the Yellow Winkie Country of the West, the Emerald City of Oz, and the Great Forest.

The Tin Woodman requested a heart, to be able to love and to live as other men. Because he was made of tin, he thought that he had no heart and was incapable of love.

What surprised the Lion when he hit the Tin Woodman?

The Tin Woodman himself surprises the Lion when he hits the Tin Woodman in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the Lion hits the Scarecrow, who is sent flying off. But nothing happens when the Lion hits the Tin Woodman. The Tin Woodman gets knocked over, but the Lion's claws and roar make no impression. Additionally, hitting the Tin Woodman begins a chain reaction that is nowhere in evidence with the Scarecrow. Toto barks, and Dorothy slaps the Lion.


Did Dorothy meet first the Lion or the Scarecrow or the Tin Woodman in The Wizard of Oz?

Scarecrow, then tinman, then the cowardly lion


Dorothy and the Scarecrow and the Tin Man worry about all but which of these animals?

Answer #1 Wolves. Answer #2 Does this question refer to the animals that the Wicked Witch of the West sent out to destroy Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion? If so, the animals are - in the order of their unleashing - wolves, crows, black bees, enslaved Winkies, and winged monkeys. Worry suggests to me that Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, and the Scarecrow were concerned about the outcome of any interaction. So they would have been worried about the Winkies, whom the Cowardly Lion scared off with his roar; and the winged monkeys, against which only the mark on the forehead from the kiss of the Good Witch of the North protected Dorothy and Toto. So Dorothy, the Tin Woodman, and the Scarecrow wouldn't have been worried about the wolves, crows, and black bees. For the Tin Woodman beheaded the wolves and killed the bees by removing their stingers; and the Scarecrow twisted the necks of the crows.


In the book The Wizard of Oz how was the Queen of the Field Mice saved from wild cats?

The Queen of the Field Mice was saved by the killing power of the Tin Woodman's axe. She returned the favor by saving the life of the Cowardly Lion. For he and Dorothy Gale fell asleep in the poppy fields. The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman were able to carry Dorothy away. But the Lion was too heavy. The Queen had good reason to fear Toto, Dorothy's pet dog; and the Lion. But she put her trust in the Tin Woodman that she and her mice wouldn't be harmed. And so they all pulled the Lion to safety.


What is the Tin Woodman doing when Dorothy finds him?
