Dorothy was a young orphan who lived on a farm in Kansas. One day, a tornado swept through her farm, and Dorothy was caught inside the farmhouse with her dog, Toto. The farmhouse was raised in the air and spinned rapidly. When the farmhouse dropped ti the ground, it landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, killing her. But Dorothy and Toto were unharmed.

The Cowardly Lion is depicted as an African lion, and like all animals in Oz, he can speak. Although he often doubts himself, the Cowardly Lion nonetheless often demonstrates bravery in the face of danger. Since lions are supposed to be "The King of Beasts", the Cowardly Lion worries his own fear makes him inadequate, failing to understand that courage is not a lack of fear, but acting in the face of fear.
Lee and Karen Duquette continued to travel down the Yellow Brick Road which was paved with 44,000 gold-glazed bricks. It stretched three-quarters of a mile, and led Lee and Karen Duquette to the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow.

Below: After opening the green doors, the doorman flipped the sign over and it now read "Bell Out of Order - Please Knock". THEN the doorman told Lee Duquette to knock on the door for entrance as he then retreated behind the closed door to wait for Lee to knock on the door once again. DUH! So of course, that is what Lee did.
