B(2024扬州广陵期末)
"The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!" says Dorothy to her friends. Everyone is very happy.
"We must go back to the Wizard男巫 of Oz and tell him," says Dorothy.
Soon Dorothy and her friends arrive at the Emerald City. They are given glasses and led to the Wizard's room. But no one is there.
A voice says, "I am the Wizard of Oz."
"Where are you?" asks Dorothy.
"I am everywhere, but you can't see me," says the Wizard. "Who are you and what do you want?"
"Don't you remember us? I'm Dorothy! I'm here with my friends—the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead and you must keep your promise. I want to go home to Kansas."
"Yes," says the Scarecrow. "You must give me a brain."
"And you must give me a heart," says the Tin Woodman.
"And I want some courage," says the Lion.
"Is she really dead?" asks the Wizard.
"Yes, she is!" the friends all say.
"Come back tomorrow," says the Wizard. "I must think about it."
"No way! I'm going to eat you!" shouts the angry Lion.
Dorothy's pet dog Toto, afraid of the Lion, jumps up and hits a big screen. It falls over and the friends see a little old man. They can't believe their eyes.
"Who are you?" asks Dorothy.
"I am the Great Oz," says the little man. "Please don't hurt me!" "But the Wizard is a big head with no body," says Dorothy.
"No, it's a beautiful woman," says the Scarecrow.
"You're wrong. It's a monster with five eyes, five arms and five legs," says the Tin Woodman.
"No," says the Lion. "The Wizard is a big ball of fire."
"You are all wrong," says the little man quietly. "▲ I'm from Kansas too. I like travelling in hot-air balloons. That's why I'm here. The people here think I'm a wizard because I come from the sky," says the little man. "I live inside this room and never go out. I can't let anyone see me. I must make everyone think I'm a real wizard."
"The Emerald City isn't green," continued the little man sadly. "It just looks green, because everyone wears green glasses. I have no magic. It's only a trick! Everything here is a trick!"
