riding this into the ground

The Scarecrow wanted brains, and the Wizard stuck pins in him to make him "sharp".

The Lion wanted courage, and the Wizard gave him a medal.

The Tin Woodman wanted a heart, and the Wizard gave him a velvet placebo heart-shaped velvet cloth.

Of course, in the original book and in the movie, too, I guess, the Lion was already the most courageous of the lot, the Tin Woodman clearly had the most caring heart of the lot, and, to finish the trifecta, the Scarecrow would have been the cleverest.
