The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 5
He ran about the room, now here, now there, barking loudly; but Dorothy sat quite still on the floor and waited to see what would happen.
Ele correu pela sala, ora aqui, ora ali, latindo alto; mas Dorothy ficou bem quieta no chão e esperou para ver o que aconteceria.
Once Toto got too near the open trap door, and fell in; and at first the little girl thought she had lost him.
Uma vez, Toto chegou perto demais da alçapão aberta e caiu; e no início a menina pensou que o havia perdido.
But soon she saw one of his ears sticking up through the hole, for the strong pressure of the air was keeping him up so that he could not fall.
Mas logo ela viu uma das orelhas dele sobressaindo pelo buraco, pois a forte pressão do ar o mantinha suspenso de modo que ele não conseguia cair.
She crept to the hole, caught Toto by the ear, and dragged him into the room again, afterward closing the trap door so that no more accidents could happen.
Ela se arrastou até o buraco, pegou Toto pela orelha e o arrastou de volta para o quarto, fechando em seguida a alçapão para que não pudessem ocorrer mais acidentes.
Hour after hour passed away, and slowly Dorothy got over her fright; but she felt quite lonely, and the wind shrieked so loudly all about her that she nearly became deaf.
Hora após hora se passou, e aos poucos Dorothy foi superando seu susto; mas ela se sentia muito sozinha, e o vento uivava tão alto ao seu redor que ela quase ficou surda.
At first she had wondered if she would be dashed to pieces when the house fell again; but as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring.
No início ela havia se perguntado se seria despedaçada quando a casa caísse novamente; mas com o passar das horas e sem que nada de terrível acontecesse, ela parou de se preocupar e resolveu esperar com calma para ver o que o futuro lhe reservava.
At last she crawled over the swaying floor to her bed, and lay down upon it; and Toto followed and lay down beside her.
Por fim, ela se arrastou pelo chão oscilante até a sua cama e se deitou nela; e Toto a seguiu e se deitou ao seu lado.
In spite of the swaying of the house and the wailing of the wind, Dorothy soon closed her eyes and fell fast asleep.
Apesar do balanço da casa e do lamento do vento, Dorothy logo fechou os olhos e caiu num sono profundo.
