The Wizard of Oz, The Road Through the Forest
A scarecrow who wants brains, a tin woodman who wants a heart, and a lion who roars louder than he feels.
Retold for sleep from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, first published in 1900 and long out of copyright. The story is Baum's; every sentence here is our own.

Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
