"If it required brains to figure it out, I never should have said it." After an hour or so the light faded away, and they found themselves stumbling along in the darkness. Dorothy could not see at all, but Toto could, for some dogs see very well in the dark; and the Scarecrow declared he could see as well as by day. So she took hold of his arm and managed to get along fairly well.

"If you see any house, or any place where we can pass the night," she said, "you must tell me; for it is very uncomfortable walking in the dark." Soon after the Scarecrow stopped.

"I see a little cottage at the right of us (я вижу маленький домик справа от нас; cottage — загородный дом, коттедж; изба)," he said, "built of logs and branches (построенный из бревен и веток). Shall we go there (ну что, пойдем туда)?"

"Yes, indeed (да, конечно)," answered the child. "I am all tired out (я вся измучена)."

So the Scarecrow led her through the trees until they reached the cottage (тогда Страшила повел ее между деревьями: «сквозь деревья», пока они не дошли до домика), and Dorothy entered and found a bed of dried leaves in one corner (и Дороти вошла /в дом/ и обнаружила постель из сухих листьев в одном углу). She lay down at once (она сразу же легла), and with Toto beside her soon fell into a sound sleep (Тото /прилег/ рядом с ней, и вскоре /она/ погрузилась в крепкий сон; to fall — падать; to fall into — падать в /воду, яму и т. п./; впадать, приходить в какое-либо состояние; to fall into a sleep — погружаться в сон; sound — здоровый, крепкий; спокойный, крепкий /о сне/). The Scarecrow, who was never tired (Страшила, который никогда не уставал), stood up in another corner and waited patiently until morning came (встал в другом углу и терпеливо ждал, когда наступит утро;

patiently — терпеливо).

5. The Rescue of the Tin Woodman (Спасение Железного Дровосека; tin — оловянный; жестяной, железный; woodman — лесник; лесоруб, дровосек; wood — дерево, древесина)

When Dorothy awoke the sun was shining through the trees (когда Дороти проснулась, солнце светило сквозь деревья; to awake) and Toto had long been out chasing birds around him and squirrels (и Тото уже давно был на улице и гонял вокруг себя птиц и белок; to be out — не быть дома, в комнате и т. п.; to chase — гнаться, преследовать)

.

She sat up and looked around her (она села /на постели/ и посмотрела вокруг себя = огляделась). Scarecrow, still standing patiently in his corner, waiting for her (Страшила все еще терпеливо стоял в своем углу, ожидая ее = когда она проснется).

"We must go and search for water (мы должны пойти поискать воду)," she said to him (сказала она ему).

"Why do you want water (зачем тебе нужна вода; to want — желать, хотеть; нуждаться)?" he asked.

"To wash my face clean after the dust of the road (чтобы начисто вымыть /свое/ лицо после дорожной пыли), and to drink, so the dry bread will not stick in my throat (и попить, чтобы сухой хлеб не застрял у меня в горле)."
