2 why did the scarecrouw decide to try the jump across the ditch
on the lions back first ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

They were all greatly pleased to see how easily he did it, and after the Scarecrow had got down from his back the Lion sprang across the ditch again. Dorothy thought she would go next; so she took Toto in her arms and climbed on the Lion's back, holding tightly to his mane with one hand.
