The Wonderful Wizard of Oz — Page 8

"
"Yes," answered the child, looking up and drying her tears.
"Sim", respondeu a criança, olhando para cima e enxugando suas lágrimas.
"Then you must go to the City of Emeralds. Perhaps Oz will help you."
"Então você deve ir à Cidade das Esmeraldas. Talvez Oz possa te ajudar."
"Where is this city?" asked Dorothy.
"Onde fica essa cidade?" perguntou Dorothy.
"It is exactly in the center of the country, and is ruled by Oz, the Great Wizard I told you of."
"Ela fica exatamente no centro do país, e é governada por Oz, o Grande Mágico de quem lhe falei."
"Is he a good man?" inquired the girl anxiously.
"Ele é um bom homem?" perguntou a menina ansiosamente.
"He is a good Wizard. Whether he is a man or not I cannot tell, for I have never seen him."
"Ele é um bom Mágico. Se ele é um homem ou não eu não posso dizer, pois nunca o vi."
"How can I get there?" asked Dorothy.
"Como posso chegar lá?" perguntou Dorothy.
"You must walk. It is a long journey, through a country that is sometimes pleasant and sometimes dark and terrible. However, I will use all the magic arts I know of to keep you from harm."
"Você deve ir a pé. É uma longa jornada, por um país que às vezes é agradável e às vezes é sombrio e terrível. No entanto, usarei todas as artes mágicas que conheço para mantê-la a salvo de todo mal."
"Won't you go with me?" pleaded the girl, who had begun to look upon the little old woman as her only friend.
"Você não vai comigo?" implorou a menina, que havia começado a ver a velhinha como sua única amiga.
"No, I cannot do that," she replied, "but I will give you my kiss, and no one will dare injure a person who has been kissed by the Witch of the North."
"Não, não posso fazer isso", ela respondeu, "mas vou lhe dar meu beijo, e ninguém ousará machucar uma pessoa que foi beijada pela Bruxa do Norte."
She came close to Dorothy and kissed her gently on the forehead. Where her lips touched the girl they left a round, shining mark, as Dorothy found out soon after.
Ela se aproximou de Dorothy e a beijou suavemente na testa. Onde seus lábios tocaram a menina, eles deixaram uma marca redonda e brilhante, como Dorothy descobriu logo depois.
"The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick," said the Witch, "so you cannot miss it.
"O caminho para a Cidade das Esmeraldas é pavimentado com tijolos amarelos", disse a Bruxa, "portanto você não pode perdê-lo.
