The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapter 7 summary

Chapter 7 of 24 · 7 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 7, Dorothy and her companions cross two dangerous gaps in the forest and escape the Kalidahs through shared effort, clever plans, and the Lion’s strength. They reach a broad river, where the Tin Woodman begins a raft, but night arrives before he finishes it.

What happens

  1. The travelers camp beneath a tree, and the Scarecrow gathers nuts for Dorothy and covers her with leaves.
  2. The Lion carries everyone across a deep ditch, taking the Scarecrow first because a fall cannot hurt him.
  3. At a wider gulf, the Scarecrow suggests a tree bridge, which the Tin Woodman and Lion make together.
  4. Two Kalidahs pursue them, but the Woodman cuts away the bridge at the Scarecrow’s direction, sending the beasts onto deadly rocks.
  5. The travelers reach a swift river, and the Scarecrow proposes crossing on a raft.
  6. The Woodman starts building while Dorothy eats fruit; they camp again because the raft remains unfinished at nightfall.
