The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Story Summary

Dorothy and her friends go on a fantastic adventure to find the Emerald City.

On a farm in Kansas, there lived a little girl named Dorothy. She lived with her uncle and aunt, and there was also a lovely little dog named Toto by her side. One day, a tornado suddenly swept in. Before Dorothy and Toto could hide in the cellar, they were swept by the tornado into a magical world.

Dorothy and Toto arriving at a strange place for the first time

After getting out of the tornado, Dorothy and Toto found themselves in a completely strange place. There were colorful flowers here, which were bigger and more vivid than any flowers she had ever seen in Kansas. Everything around looked very strange but full of novelty. Dorothy knew that she had to find her way home. She heard that there was a great wizard in the far - off Emerald City. Maybe he could help her return to Kansas. So, she set off on the journey to the Emerald City with Toto.

Meeting the Scarecrow on the road

After walking along the Yellow Brick Road for a while, Dorothy met a scarecrow. The scarecrow was stuck in the field, and he told Dorothy about his troubles. He was eager to have a clever brain. Dorothy thought the scarecrow was very pitiful, and he seemed very friendly, so she invited the scarecrow to go to the Emerald City together. Maybe the wizard could give him a clever brain. The scarecrow readily agreed, and so they set off on the journey together.

Meeting the Tin Man

Continuing on their way, they walked into a forest. In the forest, they heard a dull sigh. Following the sound, they found a tin man. The tin man was trapped there because his body had rusted. The tin man told them that his greatest wish was to have a warm heart. Dorothy thought the tin man was very kind, so she invited him to go to the Emerald City to find the wizard together. The tin man happily joined their group.

Meeting the Cowardly Lion

After walking a little further, they came to an open area. Here, they met a lion. This lion looked majestic, but in fact, he was very timid. The lion said that he wanted to gain courage. Dorothy and her companions thought the lion was very interesting, and also invited him to go to the Emerald City. The lion hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go with them.

Arriving at the Emerald City

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the Emerald City. The Emerald City was a beautiful and magnificent city, and all the buildings were green and shining. Dorothy and her companions were all stunned by the sight in front of them. They couldn't wait to enter the city to find the great wizard.

Meeting the Wizard

In the palace of the Emerald City, they met the great wizard. The wizard looked very mysterious, sitting on a high throne. Dorothy told the wizard about her wish to go home, the scarecrow hoped to get a brain, the tin man wanted a heart, and the lion longed for courage. The wizard told them that to fulfill these wishes, they must first complete a task.

After Completing the Task

They completed the task as required by the wizard. The wizard fulfilled his promise, giving the scarecrow a clever brain, the tin man a warm heart, and the lion gained courage. For Dorothy, the wizard told her that she had always had the power to go home, which was her faith and love. Dorothy and her companions happily celebrated.

Dorothy Returning Home

Finally, Dorothy used the magic power given to her by the wizard and returned to the farm in Kansas. She happily reunited with her uncle and aunt, and Toto wagged its tail merrily beside her. She would never forget her adventure in that magical world and the good friends she made.
