"Send me back to Kansas, where my Aunt Em and Uncle Henry are
(отправь меня назад, в Канзас, где /живут/ мои Тетушка Эм и Дядюшка Генри)," she answered earnestly (горячо: «серьезно» ответила она). "I don’t like your country (мне не нравится твоя страна), although it is so beautiful (хотя она такая красивая). And I am sure Aunt Em will be dreadfully worried over my being away so long (и я уверена, что Тетушка Эм будет ужасно волноваться из-за моего отсутствия так долго)." The eyes winked three times (глаза моргнули три раза), and then they turned up to the ceiling (затем они повернулись /наверх/ к потолку) and down to the floor (и /вниз/ к полу) and rolled around so queerly (и завращались /вокруг/ так странно) that they seemed to see every part of the room (что казалось, они видят каждую часть комнаты). And at last they looked at Dorothy again (и наконец они снова взглянули на Дороти)."Why should I do this for you
(почему я должен сделать это для тебя)?" asked Oz.dreadfully [ˈdredfulɪ], worried [ˈwʌrɪd], wink [wɪŋk], queerly [ˈkwɪəlɪ]

And at last they looked at Dorothy again.
"Why should I do this for you?" asked Oz.
"Because you are strong and I am weak
(потому что ты сильный, а я слабая); because you are a Great Wizard and I am only a little girl (потому что ты — Великий Волшебник, а я только маленькая девочка).""But you were strong enough to kill the Wicked Witch of the East
(но ты была достаточно сильной, чтобы убить Злую Ведьму Востока)," said Oz."That just happened
(это произошло случайно: «это просто случилось»)," returned Dorothy simply (просто ответила Дороти); "I could not help it (я ничего не могла с этим поделать).""Well
(хорошо)," said the Head, "I will give you my answer (я дам тебе свой ответ). You have no right to expect me to send you back to Kansas (ты не имеешь права ожидать от меня, что я отправлю тебя назад, в Канзас;"What must I do
(что я должна сделать)?" asked the girl.strong [strɒŋ], weak [wiːk], magic [ˈmædʒɪk], power [ˈpaʊə]
"Because you are strong and I am weak; because you are a Great Wizard and I am only a little girl."
"But you were strong enough to kill the Wicked Witch of the East," said Oz.
"That just happened," returned Dorothy simply; "I could not help it."
"Well," said the Head, "I will give you my answer. You have no right to expect me to send you back to Kansas unless you do something for me in return. In this country everyone must pay for everything he gets. If you wish me to use my magic power to send you home again you must do something for me first. Help me and I will help you."
"What must I do?" asked the girl.
"Kill the Wicked Witch of the West
(убей Злую Ведьму Запада)," answered Oz."But I cannot
(но я не могу /сделать это/)!" exclaimed Dorothy, greatly surprised (воскликнула Дороти, очень удивленная).
