In the Wizard of Oz the main character, Dorothy, makes some unlikely friends. Three of these friends accompany on her journey to see the wizard of Oz because they too, need something from him. The first of these three that Dorothy meets is a Scarecrow, who claims he is in need of a brain. Throughout the course of their journey however, the Scarecrow demonstrates many times that he indeed already happens to have one, without ever realizing it himself. One of the first and most obvious cases to attest to this is found in the scene directly after their meeting, where Dorothy tries to pick an apple but is quickly scolded by the tree from which she picked it. The Scarecrow then has the idea of angering the trees so they throw the apples at them,
