1、Chapter 1 The cyclone Dorothy lived in a small house in Kansas,with Uncle Henry,Aunt Em,and a little black dog called Toto.There were no trees and no hills in Kansas,and it was often very windy.Sometimes the wind came very fast and very suddenly.That was a cyclone,and it could blow trees and people

2、and buildings away.There were cellars under all the houses.And when a cyclone came,people went down into their cellars and stayed there.One day Uncle Henry came out and looked up at the sky.Then he ran quickly back into the house.Theres a cyclone coming,he called to Aunt Em and Dorothy.We must go do

5、ses,a long way down.She closed the cellar door quickly.The wind blew the house along for many hours.At first Dorothy was afraid.But we cant do anything about it,she said to Toto.So lets wait and see.And after two or three hours,she and Toto went to sleep.When Dorothy opened her eyes again,the house

6、was on the ground and everything was quiet.She picked up Toto,opened the door,and went out.They saw tall trees and beautiful flowers,and little houses with blue doors.Dorothy gave a little cry.This isnt Kansas,Toto!And who are these people?There were three very short men in blue hats,coats and trous

7、ers,and a little old woman in a beautiful white dress.The woman walked up to Dorothy and said,Thank you,thank you!Now the people are free!Why are you thanking me?Dorothy asked.You killed the Witch of the East,said the woman.She was a bad witch,and her people,the Munchkins,were very afraid of her.Now

8、 she is dead,and we and the Munchkins want to thank you.The little old woman and the three little men all smiled happily at Dorothy,but Dorothy did not understand.But I didnt kill anybody!she said.Your house fell on the Witch,laughed the little woman.Look!You can see her feet!Dorothy looked,and saw

9、two feet,with red shoes,under the house.Suddenly,one of the Munchkins gave a shout.Look!Her feet are disappearing in the hot sun.A second later,there were only the red shoes.Good,said the little woman.She picked up the shoes and gave them to Dorothy.Theyre your shoes now.You must wear them,because a

10、 witchs shoes can sometimes do wonderful things.Thank you,said Dorothy.But who are you?Are you a Munchkin?No,but Im their friend.Im the Witch of the North,and I came to see the dead Witch of the East.But dont be afraidIm a good witch.But Aunt Em says there arent any witches.Oh yes,there are!said the

11、 Witch.Here in the country of Oz we have four witches.The witches of the North and the South are good witches,but those of the East and the West are bad witches.Now the Witch of the East is dead,so there is only one bad witch.We have a famous wizard,too.We call him the Wizard of Oz,and he lives in t

12、he Emerald City.How many witches and wizards do you have in your country?We dont have any!said Dorothy.Suddenly she remembered Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.How can I get back home to Kansas?she asked.Where is Kansas?asked the good Witch.I dont know a country called Kansas,so I cant tell you the way.Dorot

13、hy began to cry.Oh dear!What can I do?please dont cry!said the Witch.Go and see the Wizard of Oz.Hes a good wizard,and perhaps he can help you.Its a long way,and you must walk there.I cant go with you,but I can give you my kiss.She gave Dorothy a little kiss.It looked like a small red flower on Doro

14、thys face.Now nothing can hurt you,she said.Lookthere is the road to the Emerald City.It is made of yellow bricks,so you cannot lose your way.Goodbye.Goodbye!said the three little Munchkins.In the house Dorothy found some bread and some apples,and she put them all in a bag.Then she put on her blue a

15、nd white dress.Now I look nice,she said.She looked down at her old shoes.Then she remembered the bad Witchs red shoes,and put them on.She picked up her bag of food.Come on,Toto!she called.Were going to find the Wizard of Oz.Chapter 2 The yellow brick road Dorothy and Toto walked along the yellow bri

16、ck road for a long time.When they were tired,they stopped in a field by the road.Not far away,there was a scarecrow,and Dorothy and Toto walked across to look at it.Good day,said the Scarecrow.Oh!said Dorothy.You can speak!Of course I can speak,said the Scarecrow.But I cant move,up here on this pole

17、 Id like to get down.Can you help me?Carefully,Dorothy took the Scarecrow off his pole.Thank you very much,said the Scarecrow.He moved his arms and legs,and straw went everywhere.Who are you?he asked.And where are you going?Im Dorothy,and Im going to the Emerald City.I want to go home to Kansas,but

18、I dont know the way.Im going to ask the Wizard of Oz for help.Where is the Emerald City?asked the Scarecrow.And who is the Wizard of Oz?I dont know anything,you see,because I have no brains in my headonly straw.Oh dear!said Dorothy.Im very sorry.I would very much like to have some brains,the Scarecr

19、ow said.Can I go to the Emerald City with you?Perhaps the Wizard of Oz can give me some brains.What do you think?I dont know,said Dorothy.But yes,please come with me.Hes a famous wizard,so perhaps he can help you.She felt very sorry for the Scarecrow.Dont be afraid of Toto,she said.He never hurts pe

20、ople.Nothing can hurt me,said the Scarecrow.Im not afraid of anythingWell,thats not true.I am afraid of fire,of course.Dorothy walked along the road with her new friend.Soon she began to feel hungry,so she sat down and she and Toto ate some bread and apples.Would you like some,Scarecrow?said Dorothy

21、.No,thank you.said the Scarecrow.I dont need to eat or drink.You cant eat when youre made of straw Now,tell me about your home.So Dorothy told him about Kansas,and Uncle Henry and Aunt Em,and the cyclone.But why do you want to leave this beautiful country?asked the Scarecrow.Kansas,you say,has no tr

22、ees,no green hills,no gardens.I dont understand.Thats because you have no brains,said Dorothy.Kansas is my home.We say,“East,westhomes best”,and its true.I want to go home.They walked along the road for some hours,and then it got dark.Dorothy was tired,and soon the Scarecrow saw a little house behin

23、d some trees.There was nobody there,so they went in.Dorothy and Toto slept,but the Scarecrow just stood all night with his eyes open.Scarecrows dont sleep,he said.In the morning Dorothy looked for water.Why do you want water?asked the Scarecrow.Toto and I are thirsty.And I need to wash.Im sorry for

24、you,said the Scarecrow.You need a lot of things!But you have brains,and you can think,and thats wonderful.They found some water,and Dorothy washed.Then she and Toto ate some bread.Suddenly,they heard a shout from the trees near the house,and they all ran out of the house to look.They saw a man by a

25、big tree,with an axe in his hand.He was made of tin.He stood very still and shouted Help!again and again.What can I do for you?asked Dorothy.I canmove,said the Tin Man.Please oil me.Theres an oil-can in my house.At once Dorothy ran back to the house and found the oil-can.Then she came back and,with

26、the Scarecrows help,she carefully oiled the Tin Man.Slowly,he began to move,first his head,and then his arms and legs.Thank you,he said.I feel better now.He put down his axe.I went out in the rain,you see,and water is very bad for a tin body.I was there for a long time,and nobody came to help me.We

27、stopped at your house for the night,Dorothy said,and we heard your shout this morning.Where are you going?asked the Tin Man.So Dorothy told him about the Wizard of Oz.I want to go back to Kansas,and the Scarecrow wants some brains.she said.The Tin Man was very interested.Can the Wizard give me a hea

28、rt,do you think?I have no heart,so I cant love,or feel.I would very much like to have a heart.Come with us,said the Scarecrow.Yes,said Dorothy.And then you can ask the Wizard for help,too.So they all walked along the yellow brick road.There were many tall trees next to the road,and sometimes the thr

29、ee friends heard noises from animals behind the trees.Dorothy did not like these noises very much.How far is it to the Emerald City?she asked the Tin Man.Do you know?Its a long way,I think,said the Tin Man.And we must be careful because But just then a big lion suddenly ran out from the trees,into t

30、he road.It opened its mouthit had long yellow teethand began to run after Toto.Dorothy was afraid for Toto.She ran up to the lion and hit it on the nose with her bag.Dont hurt my dog!she cried angrily.Hes smaller than you!I didnt hurt him,said the Lion.Dont hit me againplease!Whyyoure afraid!said Do

31、rothy.Be quiet,Toto,he isnt going to hurt you.Hes more afraid than you are.Hes just a big coward.Its true,said the Lion.I am a coward.Everyone thinks lions are brave.I make a lot of noise,but Im not brave.Im just a coward.And the Cowardly Lion began to cry.Then Dorothy told him about the Wizard of O

32、z.Come with us to the Emerald City,she said.I want to go back to Kansas,the Scarecrow wants some brains,and the Tin Man wants a heart.Perhaps the Wizard of Oz can make you brave.Oh,thank you!said the Lion.I would very much like to be brave.And so the Cowardly Lion came with them.At first Toto was af

33、raid of him,but very soon he and the Lion were good friends.That night Dorothy and Toto slept under a big tree,next to the Cowardly Lions big,warm body.In the morning they ate the last of their bread.Oh dear!said Dorothy.What are we going to eat for dinner?I can kill an animal for you,said the Cowar

34、dly Lion.Oh noplease dont kill anything!the Tin Man said.He began to cry.We dont want to hurt any animals.I havent got a heart,but I feel sorry for them.Dorothy quickly got out the oil-can and oiled his face.Dont cry,she said.You know water is bad for you.They walked along the yellow road,and after

35、an hour or two they came to a big river.Oh no!said Dorothy.How can we get across?The Lion looked down at the river.Im very afraid of falling,he said,but I think I can jump across.Good!said the Scarecrow at once.You can carry us on your back,one at a time.So the Cowardly Lion jumped across the river,

36、first with the Scarecrow on his back,then with Dorothy and Toto,and last with the Tin Man.But soon they came to a second river.This one was very big,and the Lion could not jump across it.The Scarecrow thought for a minute.Look,he said.Theres a tall tree next to the river.The Tin Man can cut it down

37、with his axe.And when the tree falls across the river,we can walk across the tree.Very good,said the Lion.For somebody with straw in their head,and not brains.So the Tin Man cut down the tree with his axe,and soon they were all across that river,too.Chapter 3 The Emerald City It was a long day.The y

38、ellow brick road went past fields and through trees,up hills and down hills.In the evening they began to see small green houses by the road.Sometimes little people in green clothes came out and looked at the friends.But they did not come near them,because they were afraid of the Cowardly Lion.Everyt

39、hing here is green.Perhaps were near the Emerald City,said Dorothy.Toto and I are hungry.Lets stop at the next house.A little woman opened the door,and Dorothy said,Please can we stay the night in your house?The little woman looked at the Lion,and Dorothy said quickly,The Lion is my friend,and he ne

40、ver hurts anybody.All right,the little woman said.You can all come in.She put a wonderful dinner on the table.Dorothy and Toto ate a lot of it,and the Lion ate some of it.But the Scarecrow and the Tin Man ate nothing.Where are you all going?asked the little woman.To the Emerald City,said Dorothy.We

41、want to see the Wizard of Oz.Thats not easy,said the woman.The Wizard never goes out of his house,and nobody sees his face.Is the Wizard a man?asked the Scarecrow.Nobody knows,said the woman.Hes a wizard,so he can be a man,or an animalor anything!How strange!said Dorothy.But we need his help,so we m

42、ust see him.The next day they thanked the woman,left the house,and began walking again.Soon they saw a beautiful city in front of themit was the Emerald City at last.The friends went up the yellow brick road to a big green door,and stopped.Slowly,the door opened,and a little man in green clothes sto

43、od there.We want to see the Wizard,please,said Dorothy.Nobody sees the Wizard,he said,He is a very good and very famous Wizard,but nobody can see him.We must see him,said Dorothy.Please ask him.All right,said the green man.I can take you to his house.But first,you must all put glasses on.He opened a

44、 big box.In it were lots of glasses.You must wear your glasses all the time,he said.Everybody in the city must wear glasses.The Wizard says this.So they all put on glasses.The green man put on some glasses too,and then he took them through the Emerald City.Everything in the city was greenmen,women,c

45、hildren,houses,shops,streets.The green man took them to a very big house,and they went into a long green room.Wait here,he said.After a short time he came back.You can see the Wizard,he said.But you must go to him one by one.He wants to see the little girl first.Then he went away,and a green girl ca
