1.龙卷风
多萝西和她的舅舅亨利、舅妈埃姆以及小黑狗托托住在堪萨斯州的一幢小房子里。
堪萨斯没有树也没有山,却常常刮风。
有时候会突然刮起风速极大的风,这就是龙卷风,它能将树木和人甚至房屋卷走,因而每幢房屋都有地下室。
当龙卷风刮起时,人们就钻进地下室躲起来。
一天,亨利舅舅走出房子,抬头看了看天空。
然后他飞快地跑进屋去。
"龙卷风就要来了,"他冲埃姆舅妈和多萝西喊道,"我们得进地下室!
"
他们跑向地下室的门口,可托托受了惊吓,钻到了床底下。
于是多萝西追了过去。
"快点儿!
"埃姆舅妈在地下室里大喊,"别管狗了,下地下室来!
"
多萝西抱起托托,跑向地下室的门口。
可还没有跑到跟前,龙卷风就刮来了。
接着,一件非常奇怪的事发生了。
房子开始移动,然后慢慢升高,升高,升高,一直升到了半空中。
埃姆舅妈和亨利舅舅在地底下的地下室里,但房子、多萝西和托托却升到了龙卷风的顶端。
透过地板上那敞开的地下室门口,多萝西远远地看到了地面上的山峦和房屋,她迅速地关上了地下室的门。
龙卷风卷着房子刮了好几个小时。
一开始多萝西很害怕。
"可是我们也无能为力呀,"她对托托说,"我们只有等着瞧了。
"两三个钟头过去了,她和托托都睡着了。
当多萝西再次睁开眼睛时,房子已经落在地面上了,四周静悄悄的。
她抱起托托,推开房门走了出去。
她们看到高大的树木、美丽的花朵以及一些有着蓝色屋门的小房子。
多萝西轻声惊叫:
"托托,这儿不是堪萨斯!
这些人是谁呀?
"
这里有三个非常矮小的男子,穿着蓝色的外套和裤子,戴着蓝帽子。
还有一个矮小的老婆婆,穿着漂亮的白色衣裙。
老婆婆向多萝西走来,对她说:
"谢谢你,谢谢!
现在我们的人民自由了。
"
"你为什么要感谢我呢?
"多萝西问道。
"因为你杀死了东方女巫,"老婆婆回答,"她是个坏巫婆,而她的人民--芒奇金人--以前都很怕她。
现在她死了,我们和芒奇金人都要感谢你。
"
矮小的老婆婆和三个小矮人一起朝多萝西快乐地微笑着,可多萝西还是不明白。
"我可没有杀任何人!
"她说。
"你的房子落在了那巫婆身上,"老婆婆大笑起来,"瞧!
你还能看见她的两只脚呢!
"
多萝西看见了房子下面两只穿着红鞋的脚。
突然,一个芒奇金人大叫起来:
"看呐!
她的脚在烈日下正慢慢消失。
"
一眨眼的工夫,地上只剩下红鞋子了。
"很好,"老婆婆说。
她拾起鞋子,把它们递给多萝西,说:
"从现在起,这就是你的了。
你必须穿着它们,因为一双女巫的鞋子有时会做出神奇的事来。
"
"谢谢,"多萝西说,"可你是谁?
是芒奇金人吗?
"
"不,但我是他们的朋友。
我是北方女巫,到这儿来看东方女巫的尸体。
别害怕,我是个好巫婆。
"
"可埃姆舅妈说世上没有巫婆。
"
"哦,不!
有巫婆。
"女巫说,"在奥兹国共有四个女巫,其中南方和北方的女巫是好的,而东方和西方的女巫是坏的。
现在东方女巫已死,所以就剩下一个坏巫婆了。
这里还有一个著名的魔法师,我们叫他奥兹魔法师,他住在绿宝石城。
你们那里有多少巫婆和魔法师?
"
"我们那儿可没有,"多萝西回答。
她忽然想起了埃姆舅妈和亨利舅舅。
"我怎样才能返回堪萨斯呢?
"她问。
"堪萨斯是什么地方?
"好心的巫婆问她,"我从不知道一个叫堪萨斯的国家,因此我没法给你指路。
"
多萝西哭了起来,"天哪,我该怎么办?
"
"别哭,"女巫说,"去见奥兹魔法师吧,他是个好法师,或许能帮你。
路途遥远,但你必须走着去。
我不能陪你去,不过我可以给你一个吻。
"
她轻轻吻了多萝西一下,那个吻就像贴在多萝西脸颊上的一朵小红花。
"从现在起没有什么能伤害你了,"女巫说,"看,这就是通向绿宝石城的路。
它是用黄砖铺成的,所以你不会迷路......再见。
"
"再见了!
"三个矮小的芒奇金人齐声说。
多萝西在房子里找到了一些面包和几个苹果,她把它们装进了一个包里。
然后她换上了她那条蓝白花色的裙子。
"现在我可漂亮了。
"她自言自语道。
看了看自己的旧鞋子,她想起坏女巫的那双红鞋,于是就换上了。
她拿起装食物的包。
"走,托托!
"她喊道,"我们去找奥兹魔法师。
"
