The Amazing Wizard of Oz
The girl Dorothy lived with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in the Kansas steppe. Uncle Henry was a farmer and Aunt Em ran the household. Hurricanes often raged in these places, and the family escaped from them in the cellar. Once Dorothy hesitated, before she had time to go down to the cellar, and the hurricane picked up the house and carried it along with Dorothy and the dog Toto, no one knows where. The house landed in the magical land of Oz, in that part of it where the Munchkins lived, and so successfully that it crushed the evil sorceress who ruled in these parts. The Munchkins were very grateful to the girl, but could not help her return to her native Kansas. On the advice of the good sorceress of the North, Dorothy goes to the Emerald City to the great sage and wizard Oz, who, in her opinion, will certainly help to be with Uncle Henry and Aunt Em again.
Putting on the silver shoes of the dead evil sorceress, Dorothy sets off for the Emerald City along a road paved with yellow bricks. Soon she meets the Scarecrow, who scared the crows in the cornfield, and they go to the Emerald City together, as the Scarecrow wants to ask the great Oz for some brains.
They then find a rusted Tin Woodman in the forest, unable to move. Lubricating it with oil from an oil can left in the hut of this strange creature, Dorothy brings him back to life. The Tin Woodman asks him to take him to the Emerald City: he wants to ask the great Oz for a heart, because, as it seems to him, he cannot truly love without a heart.
Soon, Dev joins the squad, who assures new friends that he is a terrible coward and he needs a f....
In the Canadian steppe stood a small wooden house. He was grey. Everything that was in the steppe acquired such a boring color. Even people became gray and sad, like the aunt and uncle of a girl named Dorothy.
Only the laughter of a little girl and the color of the black dog Totoshka could not make the steppe gray and boring.
Hurricanes often hit Kansas. Once a strong hurricane came up, which took the house along with the girl Dorothy and her dog. A house has landed in the wonderful land of Oz. In doing so, he fell upon an evil sorceress who had terrorized the people of the Munchkins for many years. People were very grateful to their savior and gave her the silver shoes of the deceased sorceress.
A kind sorceress from the northern part of the country showed the way to the Emerald City, where Dorothy could ask for help from a great wizard named Oz. The girl really wanted to go home.
On the way to the city, the girl was greeted and thanked by all the Munchkins. They considered Dorothy a sorceress.
The little girl found fellow travelers: a straw scarecrow for the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the cowardly Lion. They all wanted to receive gifts from the great Oz. The Scarecrow dreamed of smart brains, the Woodcutter wanted a good heart for himself, and the Lion needed courage.
The wizard agreed to help his friends, but on the condition that they defeat another evil sorceress.
The brave girl agreed, and all together they went to the country of Winkies. The travelers had to fight the Flying Monkeys. They were captured, where the sorceress was published on Dorothy's new comrades. The girl doused the evil sorceress with water to protect her friends. It turned out that more than anything she was afraid of water. The sorceress melted before everyone's eyes.

It's harder to fulfill Dorothy's request. After much deliberation, Oz decides to make a big balloon and fly back to America with the girl.

The Scarecrow becomes the ruler of the Emerald City. The Tin Woodman is the lord of the Winkies, and the Cowardly Lion, as befits him, the king of the forest dwellers. Soon Dorothy and Toto find themselves in their native Kansas, but without silver shoes: they got lost along the way.

Soon the Leo joins the squad, who assures new friends that he is a terrible coward and he needs to ask the great Oz for a little courage. After going through many trials, friends arrive in the Emerald City, but the great Oz, appearing before each of them in a new guise, sets a condition: he will fulfill their requests if they kill the last evil sorceress in Oz, who lives in the West, pushing around the timid and intimidated Winkies.
Friends are on the road again. The evil sorceress, noticing their approach, tries to kill the intruders in a variety of ways, but the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion show a lot of intelligence, courage and desire to protect Dorothy, and only when the sorceress summons the Flying Monkeys does she manage to take over.

It's harder to fulfill Dorothy's request. After much deliberation, Oz decides to make a big balloon and fly back to America with the girl. However, at the last moment, Dorothy rushes to catch the runaway Toto, and Oz flies away alone. Friends go for advice to the good sorceress Glinda, who rules the southern country of the Quadlings. On the way they have to endure the battle with the Warring Trees, go through the porcelain country and meet the very unkind Shooting Heads, and the Cowardly Lion deals with a giant spider that kept the forest inhabitants at bay.
Glinda explains that the silver slippers Dorothy takes from an evil sorceress in Munchkin Country can take her anywhere, including Kansas. Dorothy says goodbye to her friends. The Scarecrow becomes the ruler of the Emerald City. The Tin Woodman is the lord of the Winkies, and the Cowardly Lion, as befits him, the king of the forest dwellers. Soon Dorothy and Toto find themselves in their native Kansas, but without silver shoes: they got lost along the way.
The girl Dorothy lived in the steppes of Kansas with her uncle and aunt. Uncle Henry was a farmer, and Aunt Em preferred farming. There was often a strong wind in the steppe, and the family was forced to hide from it in the basement. At one point, Dorothy did not have time to hide from the wind, and a strong gust tore the house from its place, taking the girl and her dog Totoshka into the unknown.
Oddly enough, but the house landed successfully in the magical land of Oz. At the same time, he fell directly on the evil sorceress who ruled in this place. Having met with a kind sorceress, Dorothy learned that she needed to go to the Emerald City, where the wise wizard Oz could help the girl get back. Having set out on a journey, Dorothy met unusual fellow travelers on the road. One of them was the Scarecrow, who stood in the garden as a scarecrow. The other was the Tin Woodman. He could not move and also wanted to get to the great wizard to ask him for a human heart. And finally, they met the Lion, who wants to ask the sorcerer of the Emerald City for a little courage.
On the way to the Emerald City, friends meet an evil sorceress who is trying to destroy them. But by joint efforts they repulse the attacks of the evil sorceress. And only after she called the Flying Monkeys, our travelers were defeated. Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion were captured, and the rest were left lying on the road. Not at a loss, Dorothy plucked up courage and poured water from a bucket over the witch. And to everyone's joy, the evil witch melted away.
When friends came to the Emerald City, they demanded a reward for the destroyed witch. However, the Great Oz was confused. In fact, he was not a wizard, but an ordinary American who was brought to Oz as well as a girl. In the end, he makes a decision and gives the Woodcutter, the Lion and the Scarecrow what they asked for, only in a different form.
Deciding to fulfill Dorothy's request, the Great Oz builds a balloon and wants to fly away with the girl. But by chance, he flies away himself, and the girl remains with her friends.
But having met a good sorceress, Dorothy learns that she has silver shoes that she took from an evil sorceress. And these shoes will be able to move it anywhere. Saying goodbye to her friends, the girl flies back to her place in Kansas, and her fellow travelers become who they wanted to be.
