The Wizard of Oz: The Deadly Poppy Field 🌺💤✨

Hello, adventurers! 🌟 Today’s story from our children’s storytime podcast is a thrilling chapter of The Wizard of Oz! 🎧✨ Dorothy and her friends encounter a beautiful yet dangerous field of poppies that nearly puts them to sleep forever! 😲🌸 With teamwork and quick thinking, they manage to escape—but not without a few challenges along the way.

The Beautiful but Dangerous Poppy Field 🌺😴

Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion continue their journey toward the Emerald City. 🌿✨ They enjoy the sunny land, picking fruits and flowers along the way. But suddenly, they find themselves surrounded by a huge field of bright red poppies! 🌹🌹

Little do they know, the sweet scent of these flowers is so strong that it makes anyone who breathes it fall into a deep, unending sleep. 😴 Dorothy and Toto are soon overcome by the scent and fall asleep among the flowers, while the Cowardly Lion struggles to keep his eyes open. 🦁


A Brave Rescue and a Heartfelt Goodbye 💚🚣‍♂️

The Scarecrow and Tin Woodman, who are not affected by the flowers, know they must act quickly! 🏃‍♂️🤖 They carry Dorothy and Toto to safety, but the Cowardly Lion is too big for them to lift. 😢 So, they have to leave him behind, hoping he’ll dream of courage as he sleeps.

Just when it seems all hope is lost, the gentle breeze wakes Dorothy, and she realizes that not all is well without their lion friend. The story leaves us wondering—will they find a way to save the Cowardly Lion too? 🦁💤
