"I am a Woodman, and made of tin
(я — Дровосек, и сделан из железа). Therefore I have no heart, and cannot love (поэтому у меня нет сердца, и я не могу любить). I pray you to give me a heart (и я молю тебя дать мне сердце) that I may be as other men are (чтобы я мог быть таким, как все остальные люди).""Why should I do this
(почему я должен сделать это)?" demanded the Beast (потребовал ответа Зверь;"Because I ask it

"I am Oz, the Great and Terrible," spoke the Beast, in a voice that was one great roar. "Who are you, and why do you seek me?"
"I am a Woodman, and made of tin. Therefore I have no heart, and cannot love. I pray you to give me a heart that I may be as other men are."
"Why should I do this?" demanded the Beast.
"Because I ask it, and you alone can grant my request," answered the Woodman.
Oz gave a low growl at this, but said, gruffly
(на это Оз издал глухой рык, но мрачно ответил;"How
(как)?" asked the Woodman."Help Dorothy to kill the Wicked Witch of the West
(помоги Дороти убить Злую Ведьму Запада)," replied the Beast. "When the Witch is dead (когда Ведьма будет мертва), come to me (приходи ко мне), and I will then give you the biggest and kindest and most loving heart in all the Land of Oz (и я дам тебе самое большое, и самое доброе, и самое любящее сердце во всей стране Оз)." So the Tin Woodman was forced to return sorrowfully to his friends (тогда Железный Дровосек был вынужден печально вернуться к своим друзьям) and tell them of the terrible Beast he had seen (и рассказать им о том грозном Звере, которого он увидел).gruffly [ˈɡrʌflɪ], earn [ɜːn], forced [fɔːst]
Oz gave a low growl at this, but said, gruffly: "If you indeed desire a heart, you must earn it."
"How?" asked the Woodman.
"Help Dorothy to kill the Wicked Witch of the West," replied the Beast. "When the Witch is dead, come to me, and I will then give you the biggest and kindest and most loving heart in all the Land of Oz." So the Tin Woodman was forced to return sorrowfully to his friends and tell them of the terrible Beast he had seen.
