Oscar and Glinda were staring at a map.

" These four roads lead to the Emerald City". Glinda pointed at the map. " They will expect us to come from the south".

Oscar pointed at the map. " What is to the east of the city?".

" The deadly poppy fields". She frowned. " We need to stay clear of that".

" Why is that?".

" One good smell". She looked at Oscar. " And it's everlasting sleep".

Just then, someone stood in the doorway. It was China Girl.

" I need someone to tuck me in".

As Oscar tucked in China Girl, she stared at Oscar. " Do you grant wishes Wizard?".

" What wish is that?".

" I wish to have my family back".

Oscar kissed her on the cheek. She fell asleep.

As Oscar walked back to Glinda, a thought came over him.

He walked into the room where Glinda was. " Glinda, I've got it".

" Got what Wizard?".

" A way out of this mess".
