2In the middle of a busy farm, the scarecrow Hayward Stilton stands dutifully in the field. He has a lot of time to ponder life's important questions. What is his purpose? Will he ever be free? What does the future hold? He knows one thing: he's lonely. Hayward longs to go on an adventure to see if there is more to the world out there. And, one day, he's visited by Old Thomas, the scarecrow of memories, who offers Hayward an interesting proposition.
