THE WIZARD OF OZ: THE STORY

In Kansas it was a sunny day and Dorothy with her dog Toto, her uncle

Henry and her aunt Emmy were talking to each other in the garden.

Suddenly some dark clouds appeared in the sky and there was a storm with

thunders and lightnings. Finally there was a tornado which destroyed

everything. Dorothy flew and she lost Toto. Later she found herself in a

strange world where she met the good witch of the North, Glinda, and two

people called the Munchkins, who told her that her house killed the bad witch

of the East. She was frightened but she couldn’t do anything. Dorothy told

them that she wanted to return to Kansas, but Glinda couldn’t take her there.

So Glinda said that if she wanted to

return to Kansas she had to go to

the wizard of Oz. Dorothy went to

the Emerald City following a yellow

brickroad. On her way she met a

scarecrow that wanted a brain, a

tin man that wanted a heart and

finally a lion that wanted courage.

She took them with her to ask the

wizard all the things that they

wanted, so they went to him.

At the Emerald City they met the

wizard, but he said that if they

wanted to have their wishes

granted, they had to kill the bad

witch of the West. On the way, Dorothy lost her friends, but she found the

witch and she killed her by mistake letting some water fall on her. Then

Dorothy found her friends and they returned to the wizard of Oz. He told

them that they had to come back the following day. They weren’t happy, so

they took the Wizard’s big floating face which revealed a man. He was the

guardian of the City and he explained to them that he was an ordinary man

and an inventor too, who arrived in that world from a hot air balloon. They

were sad and angry because they thought that their wishes wouldn’t come

true, but the man solved their

problems, he said to the

scarecrow that he had a brain

already but he lacked the

experience that he earned in

the journey, then he said to the

Tin man that he had already a

heart, but he had closed it

because he did not want to

suffer. Then he made the Lion

drink a potion of courage and

the lion found courage himself,

but the potion was coloured

water and the man said that he

lacked only his self- confidence.

Finally he took Dorothy with him on the hot air balloon, but suddenly he left

the ground before Dorothy could join him, so she was sad, but Glinda arrived.

Glinda explained to Dorothy that she could return to Kansas with her magic

slippers, so she said goodbye to everybody and she went to Kansas. Dorothy

found herself immediately in her house and her uncle and aunt told her that

she was dreaming and then they lived happily ever after.
