The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Wearing the silver slippers of the deceased evil sorceress, Dorothy sets off for the Emerald City along the road paved with yellow bricks. Soon she meets the Scarecrow, who was scaring the crows in the corn field, and they go to the Emerald City together, since the Scarecrow wants to ask the great Oz for some brains.

They then find a rusty Tin Woodman in the forest, unable to move. After anointing him with oil from an oil can left in this strange creature's hut, Dorothy brings him back to life. The Tin Woodman asks him to take him with him to the Emerald City: he wants to ask the great Oz for a heart, because, as it seems to him, without a heart he cannot truly love.

Then they find a rusty Tin Woodman in the forest, unable to move. Having anointed him with oil from the oil can left in the hut of this strange creature, Dorothy brings him back to life. The Tin Woodman asks him to take him with him to the Emerald City: he wants to ask the great Oz for a heart, because, as it seems to him, without a heart he cannot truly love.

Soon Lev joins the squad, and assures his new friends that he is a terrible coward and he needs to ask the great Oz for some courage. Having gone through many trials, the friends arrive in the Emerald City, but the great Oz, appearing before each of them in a new guise, sets a condition: he will fulfill their requests if they kill the last evil sorceress in the land of Oz, who lives in the West, pushing around the timid and intimidated by the Winks.

Friends hit the road again. The evil sorceress, noticing their approach, tries to in different ways destroy the uninvited guests, but the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion show a lot of intelligence, courage and desire to protect Dorothy, and only when the sorceress summons the Flying Monkeys does she manage to gain the upper hand. Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion are captured. The Tin Woodman is thrown onto sharp stones, straw is poured out of the Scarecrow. But the evil sorceress of the West did not rejoice for long. Driven to despair by her bullying, Dorothy splashes her with water from a bucket, and, to her surprise, the old woman begins to melt, and soon only a dirty puddle remains.

Friends return to the Emerald City and demand what they promised. The Great Oz hesitates, and then it turns out that he is not a magician or a sage, but a very ordinary deceiver. At one time he was a circus balloonist in America, but, like Dorothy, he was carried by a hurricane to the land of Oz, where he managed to deceive gullible local residents and convince them that he was a powerful wizard. However, he fulfills the requests of Dorothy’s friends: he fills the Scarecrow’s head with sawdust, which makes him experience a surge of wisdom, inserts a scarlet silk heart into the Tin Woodman’s chest and gives the Cowardly Lion to drink some potion from a bottle, assuring that now the King of Beasts will feel brave.

It is more difficult to fulfill Dorothy's request. After much deliberation, Oz decides to go big balloon and fly back to America with the girl. However, at the last moment, Dorothy rushes to catch the runaway Toto, and Oz flies away alone. Friends go for advice to the good sorceress Glinda, the ruling southern country Quadlings. On the way, they have to endure a battle with the Warring Trees, go through the porcelain country and meet the very unkind Shooting Heads, and the Cowardly Lion deals with a giant spider that kept the forest inhabitants at bay.

Glinda explains that the silver slippers Dorothy took from the evil witch in Munchkin Country can take her anywhere, including to Kansas. Dorothy says goodbye to her friends. The Scarecrow becomes the ruler of the Emerald City. The Tin Woodman is the ruler of the Winks, and the Cowardly Lion, as befits him, is the king of the forest dwellers. Soon Dorothy and Toto find themselves in their native Kansas, but without the silver slippers: they got lost along the way.

The girl Dorothy lived in the steppes of Kansas with her uncle and aunt. Uncle Henry was a farmer, and Aunt Em preferred farming. There was often a strong wind in the steppe, and the family was forced to take refuge from it in the basement. At one point, Dorothy did not have time to hide from the wind, and a strong gust tore the house from its place, carrying the girl and her dog Totoshka into the unknown.

Oddly enough, the house landed successfully in the magical land of Oz. At the same time, he fell straight onto the evil sorceress who ruled in this place. Having met the good sorceress, Dorothy learned that she needed to go to the Emerald City, where the wise wizard Oz could help the girl return back. Having set out on a journey, Dorothy met extraordinary travel companions along the way. One of them was the Scarecrow, who stood in the garden as a scarecrow. The other was the Tin Woodman. He could not move and also wanted to get to the great wizard to ask him for a human heart. And finally, they met Leo, who wants to ask the sorcerer of the Emerald City for some courage.

On the way to the Emerald City, the friends meet an evil sorceress who is trying to destroy them. But with joint efforts they repel the attacks of the evil witch. And only after she called the Flying Monkeys, our travelers were defeated. Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion were captured, and the rest were left lying on the road. Undeterred, Dorothy plucked up courage and poured water from a bucket onto the witch. And to everyone’s joy, the evil witch melted.

When friends came to the Emerald City, they demanded a reward for the destroyed witch. However, Great Oz was at a loss. In fact, he was not a wizard, but an ordinary American who was brought to the land of Oz just like the girl. In the end, he makes a decision and gives the Woodcutter, Lion and Scarecrow what they asked for, only in a different form.

Deciding to fulfill Dorothy's request, the Great Oz builds a hot air balloon and wants to fly away with the girl. But by chance, he flies away on his own, and the girl remains with her friends.

But having met the good witch, Dorothy finds out that she has silver shoes that she took from the evil witch. And these shoes can move her anywhere. Having said goodbye to her friends, the girl flies back to her place in Kansas, and her fellow travelers become who they wanted to be.

The girl Dorothy lived with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in the Kansas steppe. Uncle Henry was a farmer and Aunt Em ran the farm. Hurricanes often raged in these places, and the family took refuge in the cellar. One day Dorothy hesitated, did not have time to go down to the cellar, and a hurricane picked up the house and carried it along with Dorothy and the dog Toto to God knows where. The house landed in the magical land of Oz, in the part of it where the Munchkins lived, and so successfully that it crushed the evil sorceress who ruled in these parts. The Munchkins were very grateful to the girl, but could not help her return to her native Kansas. On the advice of the good sorceress of the North, Dorothy goes to the Emerald City to the great sage and wizard Oz, who, she is convinced, will certainly help him find himself again with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Wearing the silver slippers of the deceased evil sorceress, Dorothy sets off for the Emerald City along the road paved with yellow bricks. Soon she meets the Scarecrow, who was scaring the crows in the corn field, and they go to the Emerald City together, since the Scarecrow wants to ask the great Oz for some brains. They then find a rusty Tin Woodman in the forest, unable to move. After anointing him with oil from an oil can left in this strange creature's hut, Dorothy brings him back to life.
