He lives in the City of Emeralds."

Ele mora na Cidade das Esmeraldas."

Dorothy was going to ask another question, but just then the Munchkins, who had been standing silently by, gave a loud shout and pointed to the corner of the house where the Wicked Witch had been lying.

Dorothy ia fazer outra pergunta, mas naquele momento os Munchkins, que tinham ficado parados em silêncio, deram um grito alto e apontaram para o canto da casa onde a Bruxa Malvada estava deitada.

"What is it?" asked the little old woman, and looked, and began to laugh.

"O que é isso?" perguntou a velhinha, e olhou, e começou a rir.

The feet of the dead Witch had disappeared entirely, and nothing was left but the silver shoes.

Os pés da Bruxa morta tinham desaparecido completamente, e nada havia sobrado além dos sapatos de prata.

"She was so old," explained the Witch of the North, "that she dried up quickly in the sun.

"Ela era tão velha", explicou a Bruxa do Norte, "que secou rapidamente ao sol.

That is the end of her.

Este é o fim dela.

But the silver shoes are yours, and you shall have them to wear."

Mas os sapatos de prata são seus, e você os terá para calçar."

She reached down and picked up the shoes, and after shaking the dust out of them handed them to Dorothy.

Ela se abaixou e pegou os sapatos, e depois de sacudir o pó deles os entregou a Dorothy.

"The Witch of the East was proud of those silver shoes," said one of the Munchkins, "and there is some charm connected with them; but what it is we never knew."

"A Bruxa do Leste tinha muito orgulho desses sapatos de prata", disse um dos Munchkins, "e há algum encanto ligado a eles; mas o que é, nunca soubemos."

Dorothy carried the shoes into the house and placed them on the table.

Dorothy levou os sapatos para dentro de casa e os colocou sobre a mesa.

Then she came out again to the Munchkins and said:

Então ela voltou para fora com os Munchkins e disse:

"I am anxious to get back to my aunt and uncle, for I am sure they will worry about me.

"Estou ansiosa para voltar para minha tia e meu tio, pois tenho certeza de que ficarão preocupados comigo.

Can you help me find my way?"

Vocês podem me ajudar a encontrar o meu caminho?"

The Munchkins and the Witch first looked at one another, and then at Dorothy, and then shook their heads.

Os Munchkins e a Bruxa primeiro olharam uns para os outros, depois para Dorothy, e então balançaram a cabeça negativamente.
