]]>Scene 12 - with the Wicked Witch dead, the adventurers return to the Emerald City to see the wizard and have their wishes granted. But to their surprise, they find out there is no wizard!

In the end, the old man does help everyone. He tells the Tin Man to listen to his heart beating. If he has a heart beat, he must have a heart!

(Keith Nonaka) — Sun, 11 May 2014 18:24:43 GMT
