Does Dorothy carry an apple in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

Yes and no. In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], Dorothy Gale doesn't carry an apple. But in the beloved 1939 film version, she does. In the movie, she gets in a fight with fighting apple trees when she tries to take apples off the branches instead of off the ground.

Answer 2

In the movie only, the Scarecrow baits the living apple trees into throwing the fruit to Dorothy.

There is no such scene in the book.
