A field of poppies causes Dorothy Gale to fall asleep in "The Wizard of Oz."
The original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz" are quite different. Among the similarities is the incident in the poppy field, which is one of the events that the book presents and the movie version retains. But in the book Dorothy is rescued by her travelling companions, who get the gracious Queen of the Field Mice to remove the Cowardly Lion also. In the movie, Glinda causes snow to fall and thereby protects everyone from the somnolent dangers of the poppies.

What does the Wizard of Oz give to the Scarecrow?
In the book by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the Wizard gives the Scarecrow a "bran-new" brain that he had stuffed with bran, needles, and pins. In the posthumous 1939 film version, he gives the Scarecrow a piece of paper that's an honorary degree ka Th.D., or Doctorate in Thinkology.
How does the Wizard act in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
That he knows that what he does is bogus is the reason why the Wizard is a con artist in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, a con artist describes a person who cheats others through deceit or fraud. The description fits the Wizard. In the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version, the Wizard gives to the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman external remedies that have nothing to do with internal characteristics. The only person that he does not swindle is Dorothy Gale, to whom he offers the honest remedy of a ride back home.
