The Scarecrow wanted the Wizard to give him a brain. Ironically, the Wizard was a humbug, and made a show of giving the Scarecrow what the Scarecrow already had. For the Scarecrow had reacted to many situations, on the way to the Emerald Palace of the Wizard of Oz, in ways that showed that he already had a brain. In the way of a humorous example, Dorothy irritated a tree by picking an apple off the branch instead of picking it up from the ground. The Scarecrow explained that the little girl didn't like green worms in her apples. Exactly!

In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow was one of three friends and traveling companions to Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto through the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. He didn't consider himself brainy. And yet it was his brains that got Dorothy, Toto, and friends Cowardly Lion and Tin Woodman through many adventures. So he also held down the role of rescuer. In the end, he succeeded the Wizard as Ruler in the Emerald City over the lands and peoples of Oz.

A brain. The Scarecrow considered himself brainless. But he showed himself to be quite brainy, long before the supposed bestowal of a "bran-new" brain by the Wizard of Oz. For example, he was able to figure out how to defeat the hordes of crows that the Wicked Witch of the West commanded to destroy him and his four friends.
