The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 7
"At the East, not far from here," said one, "there is a great desert, and none could live to cross it."
"Ao Leste, não muito longe daqui," disse um, "há um grande deserto, e ninguém conseguiria viver para atravessá-lo."
"It is the same at the South," said another, "for I have been there and seen it. The South is the country of the Quadlings."
"É o mesmo ao Sul," disse outro, "pois eu estive lá e o vi. O Sul é o país dos Quadlings."
"I am told," said the third man, "that it is the same at the West. And that country, where the Winkies live, is ruled by the Wicked Witch of the West, who would make you her slave if you passed her way."
"Disseram-me," disse o terceiro homem, "que é o mesmo ao Oeste. E aquele país, onde os Winkies vivem, é governado pela Bruxa Malvada do Oeste, que faria de você sua escrava se você passasse por lá."
"The North is my home," said the old lady, "and at its edge is the same great desert that surrounds this Land of Oz. I'm afraid, my dear, you will have to live with us."
"O Norte é minha casa," disse a velha senhora, "e em sua borda está o mesmo grande deserto que rodeia esta Terra de Oz. Receio, minha querida, que você terá de viver conosco."
Dorothy began to sob at this, for she felt lonely among all these strange people.
Dorothy começou a soluçar com isso, pois ela se sentia solitária entre todas aquelas pessoas estranhas.
Her tears seemed to grieve the kind-hearted Munchkins, for they immediately took out their handkerchiefs and began to weep also.
Suas lágrimas pareciam entristecer os bondosos Munchkins, pois eles imediatamente tiraram seus lenços e começaram a chorar também.
As for the little old woman, she took off her cap and balanced the point on the end of her nose, while she counted "One, two, three" in a solemn voice.
Quanto à velhinha, ela tirou seu chapéu e equilibrou a ponta na extremidade do seu nariz, enquanto contava "Um, dois, três" em uma voz solene.
At once the cap changed to a slate, on which was written in big, white chalk marks:
De repente, o chapéu se transformou em uma lousa, na qual estava escrito em grandes marcas de giz branco:
"LET DOROTHY GO TO THE CITY OF EMERALDS"
"DEIXAI DOROTHY IR À CIDADE DOS ESMERALDAS"
The little old woman took the slate from her nose, and having read the words on it, asked, "Is your name Dorothy, my dear?
A velhinha tirou a lousa do seu nariz e, tendo lido as palavras nela, perguntou: "Seu nome é Dorothy, minha querida?
