The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 2
Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale.
No entanto, o conto de fadas antiquado, tendo servido por gerações, pode agora ser classificado como "histórico" nas bibliotecas infantis; pois chegou a hora de uma série de novos "contos maravilhosos" nos quais o gênio, o anão e a fada estereotipados são eliminados, juntamente com todos os incidentes horríveis e de gelar o sangue concebidos por seus autores para apontar uma moral assustadora em cada conto.
Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
A educação moderna inclui a moralidade; portanto, a criança moderna busca apenas entretenimento em seus contos maravilhosos e dispensa de bom grado todos os incidentes desagradáveis.
Having this thought in mind, the story of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" was written solely to please children of today.
Tendo esse pensamento em mente, a história de "O Maravilhoso Mágico de Oz" foi escrita exclusivamente para agradar às crianças de hoje.
It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.
Ela aspira a ser um conto de fadas modernizado, no qual o encantamento e a alegria são preservados e as angústias e os pesadelos são deixados de lado.
