The old man from Kansas
The little green man opened the door. He gave them all glasses, then he took them through the city to the Wizard's house. There, in the long green room, the friends waited, and waited... and waited.
After three hours the Scarecrow said, 'I'm tired of waiting.' He called the green man. 'We want to see the Wizard now. Or we're going to call the Magic Monkeys. Please tell the Wizard that.'
The green man went away to speak to the Wizard through the door. The Wizard knew about the Magic Monkeys, and he was very afraid of them. So he said to the green man, 'These people can come and see me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.'
At nine o'clock the green man took the friends to the Wizard's room. They went in and looked all round, but they could not see anybody. Then a voice said, 'I am the Wizard of Oz. Who are you, and what do you want?'
'Where are you?' asked Dorothy.
'I am everywhere, but you can't see me. Now answer me-who are you and what do you want?'
'You know us all,' said the Scarecrow. 'You said to me, "Help Dorothy to kill the Witch of the West, and you can have some brains." Well, the Witch is dead, and now I want my brains.'
'And I want my heart,' said the Tin Man.
'And I want to be brave,' said the Cowardly Lion.
'And I want to go home to Kansas,' said Dorothy.
'Is the Witch truly dead?' asked the Voice.
'Yes,' said Dorothy. 'I threw a bucket of water over her, and she disappeared.'
'Very well,' said the Voice. 'Come again tomorrow. I must think about things first and-'
'No!' said the Tin Man. 'I want my heart now!'
'I'm not going to wait another minute!' said the Scarecrow.
'And I'm going to eat you!' the Lion shouted very angrily. Toto was afraid. He jumped away from the Lion, and hit a screen near the wall. The screen fell over, and behind it the friends saw an old man with no hair.
The Tin Man looked angry and picked up his axe.
'Who are you?' he said.
'Please don't hurt me!' said the old man, in a quiet little voice. 'I'm the Wizard of Oz.'
'But the Wizard of Oz is a big head without a body,' said Dorothy.
'No, he's a beautiful woman,' said the Scarecrow.
'You're wrong,' said the Tin Man. 'The Wizard of Oz is a big animal with two heads.'
'No,' said the Lion. 'The Wizard is a ball of fire.'
'You're all wrong,' said the old man. 'I am the Wizard... Well, I'm not a true wizard. Oh, I know a lot of tricks, but I don't know any true magic. You see, I'm from Kansas too. I went from town to town and did magic tricks. And I went up in a big balloon. The balloon was always on a rope, but one day something went wrong. The rope broke and the balloon blew away. For a long time the wind carried my balloon across the sky. Then I came down here, in the country of Oz. The people saw my balloon and said, "This man is a wizard! He comes out of the sky!" They were afraid of me and wanted to work for me... So they built this city for me, and I called it the Emerald City. Well, emeralds are green, so I made green glasses for everybody. That's why everything in the city looks green.'
The Scarecrow took off his glasses. 'Oh,' he said. 'Now I understand. The Emerald City isn't green. It just looks green. It's all a trick.'
'That's right,' said the old man. 'Well, all that happened many years ago. I never went out because I was afraid of the two bad Witches. Now they are dead-thanks to you, Dorothy. But I'm very sorry, I don't know any true magic, so I can't help you.'
'You're a very bad man,' said Dorothy.
'No, my child. I'm a very good man, but I am a very bad wizard, that's true.'
'What about my brains?' said the Scarecrow.
'You don't need brains. You understand things; you can think, you learn quickly. You're very clever.'
'I want brains,' said the Scarecrow.
'Very well,' said the old man. 'I can give you some brains tomorrow morning.'
'What about my heart?' asked the Tin Man.
'You don't need a heart,' said the old man. 'You laugh, you cry, you love, you feel sorry for people.'
The Tin Man looked angry and picked up his axe.
'All right-please don't hurt me!' said the old man. 'I can give you a heart tomorrow morning.'
'I want to be brave,' said the Cowardly Lion.
'But you are brave. You do a lot of brave things! No, no-don't eat me! Come here tomorrow morning. I'm going to make you brave.'
'What about Toto and me?' asked Dorothy.
'We can go up in my balloon,' said the Wizard. 'The wind blew us here from Kansas-perhaps it can blow us back to Kansas again.'
*  *  *
The next morning the friends came again to the Wizard's room. The old man was ready. He took a bottle with BRAINS on it in big green letters, and carefully opened the Scarecrow's head.
'Don't move. I'm putting your brains in,' he said. 'There-now you're the cleverest scarecrow in Oz.' The Scarecrow thanked him.
Next the Wizard gave the Tin Man a small red heart. 'Wear this always,' he said.
The Tin Man was very happy and thanked the Wizard again and again.
Then the old man took a bottle with BE BRAVE on it. 'Drink this,' he said to the Cowardly Lion.
The Lion drank. 'Yes. Yes, I feel brave!' he shouted. 'Very, very brave! Thank you!'
The Wizard smiled at them. 'You didn't need my magic,' he said. 'But you're all happy now, and that's a good thing. Now, Dorothy,' he said, 'come and see my balloon. It's all ready. I mended it last night.'
They went out into the garden behind the Wizard's house. The balloon was very big. There was a small box under it, and the Wizard of Oz jumped into the box.
'Come on, Dorothy!' he shouted. 'We're going to Kansas. Say goodbye to your friends.'
Dorothy kissed the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man, and said goodbye. 'Come on, Toto,' she said. 'We're going home to Kansas. We're going to see Aunt Em and Uncle Henry.'
But just then Toto saw a cat. He jumped out of Dorothy's arms and ran after it.
'Toto!' called Dorothy, and she began to run after him.





绿衣小矮人打开了门。他给了他们每人一副眼镜,带他们穿过城市,来到魔法师的房子里。在那长长的绿房子里,他们几个等啊,等啊,等啊......
三个小时以后,稻草人说:"我讨厌就这么等下去了。"他叫绿衣人,"去告诉魔法师,我们现在就要见他。否则我们要召唤魔猴来帮忙了。"
绿衣人隔着门将稻草人的话转告给了魔法师。魔法师知道魔猴是怎么回事,并且很怕它们。因此他对绿衣人说:"这些人可以在明天早上9点来见我。"
第二天9点钟,绿衣人将多萝西和她的朋友们带到魔法师那里。他们进去四处张望,却看不见任何人。这时一个声音响起了:"我就是奥兹魔法师,你们是谁?有什么要求?"
"你在哪儿?"多萝西问。
"我无处不在,但你们看不见我。现在回答我--你们是谁,有什么要求?"
"你认识我们,"稻草人说,"你还对我说过:'帮助多萝西杀死西方女巫,你就可以得到智慧。'嗯,现在巫婆死了,我要我的智慧。"
"我要我的心。"锡人说。
"我要我的勇气。"胆小鬼狮子说。
"我要回堪萨斯的家。"多萝西说。
"巫婆真的死了?"那声音问道。
"是的,"多萝西回答说,"我朝她泼了一桶水,然后她就消失了。"
"很好,"声音说,"你们明天再来吧!我需要先考虑一下然后--"
"不行!"锡人说,"我现在就要我的心!"
"我一分钟都不愿再等了!"稻草人说。
"我要吃了你!"狮子怒吼道。托托吓坏了,它从狮子身边跳开,撞到墙边的一堵屏风上,屏风倒了,他们看见后面躲着一个秃顶的老头儿。
锡人举起斧子,一脸怒气。
"你是谁?"锡人问道。
"请别伤害我!"老头儿用细细的声音说,"我就是奥兹魔法师。"
"可奥兹魔法师是一个没有身体的大脑袋呀!"多萝西说。
"不,他是个漂亮的女人。"稻草人说。
"你们都错了,"锡人说,"奥兹魔法师是一个长了两个脑袋的怪兽。"
"不对,"狮子说,"魔法师是一团火。"
"你们都错了。"老头儿说,"我是奥兹魔法师......嗯,我不是个真正的魔法师。哦,我虽然会变许多魔术,可我没有魔力。你们看,我也是堪萨斯人。我走乡串镇变魔术。我钻进一个大气球里,气球通常是拴在一根绳子上的,但是有一天出了意外,绳子断了,气球飞起来了。风使我的气球在天空中飘了很久。最后我落在了这儿--奥兹国。这儿的人看见我的气球,说:'这人是魔法师!他从天而降!'他们都怕我,愿意为我效劳......所以他们为我修了这座城,我将它命名为绿宝石城。哦,绿宝石是绿色的,所以我给所有人都做了绿色的眼镜,这就是为什么城里一切看起来都是绿色的原因了。"
稻草人摘下眼镜。"噢,"他说,"我明白了,绿宝石城原来不是绿色的,只是看起来是绿色的,这全是骗人的把戏。"
"完全正确,"老头儿说,"嗯,这些都是许多年前的事了。我从不出去是因为我怕两个坏巫婆。现在她们已死--谢谢你,多萝西,但是很抱歉,我不会真正的魔法,所以不能帮你。"
"你真是个坏蛋!"多萝西说。
"不,我的孩子,我是一个非常善良的人,但我的确是一个糟糕的魔法师。一点不假。"
"那我要的智慧呢?"稻草人问。
"你不需要智慧。你能理解事物,你会思考,你学东西也很快。你很聪明。"
"可我想要智慧。"稻草人说。
"好吧,"老头儿说,"明早我会给你一些智慧。"
"那我的心呢?"锡人问。
"你不需要心,"老头儿回答,"你笑,你哭,你爱别人,你同情别人。"
锡人气乎乎地举起他的斧子。
"好,好--别伤害我!"老头儿说,"我明早就给你一颗心。"
"我要变得勇敢,"胆小鬼狮子说。
"但你的确很勇敢。你做了许多英勇的事情!别,别--别吃我!明早来吧,我会让你变得勇敢。"
"那我和托托怎么办?"多萝西问。
"我们可以钻进我的气球,"魔法师说,"风把我从堪萨斯吹到这儿--或许它也能把我们吹回堪萨斯。"
*  *  *
第二天早上,这几个朋友重新来到魔法师的屋里。老头儿已经准备就绪了。他拿出一个瓶子,瓶子上用绿色的字母写着两个大字"智慧"。他小心翼翼地打开稻草人的脑袋。
"别动,我要把智慧放入你的脑袋里,"老头儿说,"好--你现在是奥兹国最聪明的稻草人了。"稻草人谢过了老头儿。
然后老头儿又给了锡人一颗小小的红色的心。他说:"一直戴着它。"
锡人非常高兴,不停地感谢老头儿。
接着,老头儿拿出一个贴着"勇敢"标签的瓶子。"喝下去。"他对胆小鬼狮子说。
狮子喝了下去。"是的,是的。我感到自己有勇气了!"他大叫道,"非常非常的勇敢!谢谢你!"
魔法师微笑着望着他们。"你们并不需要我的魔法。"他说,"但你们现在很开心,这就好。现在,多萝西,"他说,"来看看我的气球,它已准备就绪,我昨晚把它修好了。"
他们一起走到魔法师房子后面的花园里。气球很大,下面挂了一个小箱子。魔法师跳进箱子里。
"多萝西,来呀!"他大喊,"我们要回堪萨斯去了,和你的朋友们告别吧。"
多萝西一一吻了稻草人、狮子和锡人,并与他们道了别。"走,托托,"她说,"我们就要回家了,我们就要见到埃姆舅妈和亨利舅舅了。"
但就在那时,托托看见了一只猫。它跳出多萝西的手臂,追了过去。
"托托!"多萝西大叫,开始追它。
