THE WIZARD OF OZ

In Kansas, USA, there are no witches or wizards. But there are cyclones, and one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz. And in Oz there are four witches, and a very famous wizard – the Wizard of Oz.

Dorothy wants to go home to Kansas, but she doesn’t know how to get there. She needs help. ‘Go to the Emerald City,’ the Witch of the North tells her, ‘and ask the Wizard of Oz to help you.’

Then Dorothy meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. But what are they going to find there? Who – or what – is the famous Wizard of Oz?
