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.
