In the afternoon the sun shone hot in their faces (днем солнце жарко светило им в лица; afternoon — время после полудня; послеобеденное время; in the afternoon — днем, после полудня), for there were no trees to offer them shade (потому что там не было деревьев, /которые могли бы/ предоставить им тень); so that before night Dorothy and Toto and the Lion were tired (так что /еще/ до /наступления/ ночи Дороти, Тото и Лев устали: «были уставшими»), and lay down upon the grass and fell asleep (прилегли на траву и заснули), with the Woodman and the Scarecrow keeping watch (а Дровосек и Страшила стояли на страже; watch — пристальное наблюдение, надзор; дежурство; to keep watch — нести вахту, дежурить).

The Emerald City was soon left far behind. As they advanced the ground became rougher and hillier, for there were no farms nor houses in this country of the West, and the ground was untilled.

In the afternoon the sun shone hot in their faces, for there were no trees to offer them shade; so that before night Dorothy and Toto and the Lion were tired, and lay down upon the grass and fell asleep, with the Woodman and the Scarecrow keeping watch.

Now the Wicked Witch of the West had but one eye (а у Злой Ведьмы Запада был всего лишь один глаз; now — теперь; now, … — так вóт, …), yet that was as powerful as a telescope, and could see everywhere (однако он был такой же мощный, как телескоп, и мог видеть везде; powerful — крепкий, могучий, мощный). So, as she sat in the door of her castle (итак, пока она сидела на пороге: «в дверном проеме» своего замка; door — дверь, дверца), she happened to look around and saw Dorothy lying asleep (ей случилось посмотреть вокруг = осмотреться и увидеть Дороти, которая лежала спящей), with her friends all about her (со всеми своими друзьями вокруг нее). They were a long distance off (они были очень далеко: «они находились на большом расстоянии»; distance — расстояние), but the Wicked Witch was angry to find them in her country (но Злая Ведьма рассердилась, обнаружив их в своей стране; angry — рассерженный, сердитый, недовольный); so she blew upon a silver whistle that hung around her neck (и она свистнула в серебряный свисток, который висел у нее на шее: «вокруг ее шеи»).

At once there came running to her from all directions a pack of great wolves (тут же со всех сторон прибежала стая огромных волков; to come running — прибежать). They had long legs and fierce eyes and sharp teeth (у них были длинные лапы, свирепые глаза и острые зубы).

"Go to those people (идите к тем людям)," said the Witch, "and tear them to pieces (и разорвите их на куски)."

"Are you not going to make them your slaves (разве ты не собираешься сделать их своими рабами)?" asked the leader of the wolves (спросил вожак волков; leader — руководитель, глава, лидер; вожак /стада, стаи/).
