In Jackson Heights, Queens, there were ten-year-old Dorothy who was in a wheelchair. She was with her service animal, Toto the Service Cat. On the back of Toto, there was sign that indicate PROFESSIONAL SERVICE CAT.

As they approach overpass entrance, Toto the Service Cat presses HELP button. When call is answer, Toto mews and station agent, Aunt Em and Uncle Henry instantly opens the gate.

As they were waiting for Manhattan-bound express train at Junction Blvd Station, strong wind came blowing and train was halted at 103rd St.

Strong wind had carry Dorothy on her wheelchair with Toto all the way to Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs station on line in Brooklyn where Dorothy`s wheelchair fall down to Wicked Witch of Brooklyn.

Dorothy said: Where am I?

Munchinkins came out.

First Munchinkin: You're in Land of Oz.

Dorothy: Land of OZ?

Second Munchinkin: Yes.

Dorothy: How do we get back?

Third Munchinkin: Here comes the Good Witch of Queens.

Good Witch of Queens, Glinda got off the train.

Glinda: I am Good Witch of Queens, Dorothy. You need to see great king of Emerald City in Staten Island. Thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of Brooklyn.

Dorothy: Wicked Witch of Brooklyn?

Glinda: Yes, we have four witches. Just remember witch in Queens and Manhattan are friendly. However, Wicked Witch of Bronx are very evil and mean. So you better watch out.

Dorothy: Thank you. How do I get there?

Fourth Munchinkin: You need to drive the yellow train on yellow track to Emerald City Station.

Dorothy: How I will drive train? I am disable.

Glinda: Don't worry. You're not disable in this world. Here is your shoes to wear to tell warlock you kill the Wicked Witch of Brooklyn.

Glinda kiss Dorothy.

Glinda: This kiss will protect you from Wicked Witch of the Bronx.

In this world, it was empty.

Dorothy started up the RD57 work train and as she headed south on yellow track.

As she was operating train, she spotted scarecrow tied up at island near Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

She stops the RD57 and she look both ways as she cross the tracks and went to island.

Second Snake: It is comfortable.

Third Snake: Yes.

They climb up on Scarecrow.

Dorothy came upon and said.

Dorothy: STOP BULLYING THE SCARECROW OR I'LL CALL THE STATEN ISLAND ZOO.

Snakes immediately stop when they heard word ZOO.

First Snake: Please don't call the zoo. Staten Island Zoo is mean.

Second: Yes, we will never harm Scarecrow again.

Third: We promise, Dorothy.

Dorothy turns to help Scarecrow.

Dorothy: Why don't you fight, Scarecrow?

Scarecrow: I can't move because I have no brain. I really want to get a brain.
