But the little old woman walked up to Dorothy, made a low bow and said, in a sweet voice:

Mas a velhinha caminhou até Dorothy, fez uma reverência e disse, em uma voz doce:

"You are welcome, most noble Sorceress, to the land of the Munchkins.

"Seja bem-vinda, nobilíssima Feiticeira, à terra dos Munchkins.

We are so grateful to you for having killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and for setting our people free from bondage."

Somos muito gratos a você por ter matado a Bruxa Malvada do Leste, e por libertar nosso povo da escravidão."

Dorothy listened to this speech with wonder.

Dorothy ouviu esse discurso com espanto.

What could the little woman possibly mean by calling her a sorceress, and saying she had killed the Wicked Witch of the East?

O que poderia a velhinha querer dizer ao chamá-la de feiticeira, e ao afirmar que ela havia matado a Bruxa Malvada do Leste?

Dorothy was an innocent, harmless little girl, who had been carried by a cyclone many miles from home; and she had never killed anything in all her life.

Dorothy era uma menina inocente e inofensiva, que havia sido levada por um ciclone a muitas milhas de casa; e ela nunca havia matado nada em toda a sua vida.

But the little woman evidently expected her to answer; so Dorothy said, with hesitation, "You are very kind, but there must be some mistake.

Mas a velhinha evidentemente esperava uma resposta dela; então Dorothy disse, com hesitação, "A senhora é muito gentil, mas deve haver algum engano.

I have not killed anything."

Eu não matei nada."

"Your house did, anyway," replied the little old woman, with a laugh, "and that is the same thing.

"A sua casa matou, de qualquer forma," respondeu a velhinha, com uma risada, "e isso dá no mesmo.

See!" she continued, pointing to the corner of the house.

Veja!" ela continuou, apontando para o canto da casa.

"There are her two feet, still sticking out from under a block of wood."

"Lá estão seus dois pés, ainda saindo por baixo de um bloco de madeira."

Dorothy looked, and gave a little cry of fright.

Dorothy olhou, e soltou um pequeno grito de susto.

There, indeed, just under the corner of the great beam the house rested on, two feet were sticking out, shod in silver shoes with pointed toes.

Lá, de fato, bem abaixo do canto da grande viga sobre a qual a casa repousava, dois pés estavam saindo, calçados em sapatos de prata com bicos pontudos.

"Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" cried Dorothy, clasping her hands together in dismay.

"Ai, meu Deus! Ai, meu Deus!" exclamou Dorothy, juntando as mãos em desespero.

"The house must have fallen on her. Whatever shall we do?

"A casa deve ter caído sobre ela. O que devemos fazer?
