"There is nothing to be done," said the little woman calmly.

"Não há nada a ser feito", disse a mulherzinha calmamente.

"But who was she?" asked Dorothy.

"Mas quem era ela?" perguntou Dorothy.

"She was the Wicked Witch of the East, as I said," answered the little woman.

"Ela era a Bruxa Malvada do Leste, como eu disse", respondeu a mulherzinha.

"She has held all the Munchkins in bondage for many years, making them slave for her night and day.

"Ela manteve todos os Munchkins em cativeiro por muitos anos, fazendo-os trabalhar como escravos para ela noite e dia.

Now they are all set free, and are grateful to you for the favor."

Agora todos estão livres, e são gratos a você pelo favor."

"Who are the Munchkins?" inquired Dorothy.

"Quem são os Munchkins?" quis saber Dorothy.

"They are the people who live in this land of the East where the Wicked Witch ruled."

"São as pessoas que vivem nesta terra do Leste onde a Bruxa Malvada governava."

"Are you a Munchkin?" asked Dorothy.

"Você é uma Munchkin?" perguntou Dorothy.

"No, but I am their friend, although I live in the land of the North.

"Não, mas sou amiga deles, embora eu viva na terra do Norte.

When they saw the Witch of the East was dead the Munchkins sent a swift messenger to me, and I came at once.

Quando viram que a Bruxa do Leste estava morta, os Munchkins enviaram um mensageiro veloz até mim, e eu vim imediatamente.

I am the Witch of the North."

Sou a Bruxa do Norte."

"Oh, gracious!" cried Dorothy.

"Oh, minha nossa!" exclamou Dorothy.

"Are you a real witch?"

"Você é uma bruxa de verdade?"

"Yes, indeed," answered the little woman.

"Sim, de fato", respondeu a mulherzinha.

"But I am a good witch, and the people love me.

"Mas sou uma bruxa boa, e o povo me ama.

I am not as powerful as the Wicked Witch was who ruled here, or I should have set the people free myself."

Não sou tão poderosa quanto a Bruxa Malvada que governava aqui, caso contrário eu mesma teria libertado o povo."

"But I thought all witches were wicked," said the girl, who was half frightened at facing a real witch.

"Mas eu pensava que todas as bruxas eram malvadas", disse a menina, que estava meio apavorada diante de uma bruxa de verdade.

"Oh, no, that is a great mistake.

"Oh, não, isso é um grande engano.

There were only four witches in all the Land of Oz, and two of them, those who live in the North and the South, are good witches.

Havia apenas quatro bruxas em toda a Terra de Oz, e duas delas, as que vivem no Norte e no Sul, são bruxas boas.
