THE WIZARD OF OZ Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas dreams

frequently of what lies over the rainbow. One day, a tornado hit her farm and carries her away. At the end of the rainbow, she finds

herself in picturesque Munchkinland, home of a fascinating people, the Munchkins. The Munchkins considered Dorothy as a

heroine because in landing, her house accidentally killed the Wicked Witch of East. The Sorceress of the North advises Dorothy that

only the great Wizard of Oz can help her get back to Kansas. Dorothy must find the Munchkins again in order to get directions to Emerald City. She gets directions to Munchkinland from the Scarecrow who joins her. They make it to the side of the bridge

where Munchkinland is located, and meet the Tin Woodman and the Lion. The four travelers find the Munchkins and get directions to the Emerald City. When Dorothy and her friends finally meet

the Wizard, he demands that they kill the

Wicked Witch of the West before he will grant them their wishes. The friends go to the Witch’s castle. The witch plans to kill the four friends by shrinking them into nothing in a cauldron of magic water. The witch threatens the Scarecrow with fire but Dorothy protects the

Scarecrow by pulling the Witch back into the full cauldron to extinguish the fire. The magic water puts out the fire and shrinks the Witch into nothing. Back at the Emerald City, the Wizard of Oz

throws a party in honor of the four friends and

grants everyone’s wishes. He gives the Lion a medal to represent courage, the Tinman a heart to show his large heartedness, and the Scarecrow a diploma for a Doctor of Scarecrow to signify graduation from advanced study.

The great Wizard of Oz escorts Dorothy back to Kansas in his rocket ship.
