Write how the travellers crossed the second gulf.
Advertisements
Solution
After crossing the first ditch, the travellers travelled some distance and came across another gulf which was broader and deeper than the first ditch/gulf. It was impossible for the lion to jump across. The scarecrow came up with an idea. He asked Tin Woodman to chop the tree near the ditch, in such a way that it fell across the gulf creating a bridge. The travellers successfully crossed this gulf too.
