"The Witch said 'Go and see the Wizard of Oz. He is a good wizard, and perhaps he can help you. It is long way, and you must walk there. I can't go with you, I can give you my kiss.' " (Baum, 1998, p. 6 ).
I think that you know the story or the title of the book, as it is very famous story in the world. Perhaps some have never heard its mane. As it was written by easy and simple English, and it is an enjoyable book, I want you who have never red the story to read it.
There are Dorothy who is a girl and Toto that is a small dog as main characters. Oneday, a cyclone hit and blew her house with Dorothy and Toto. Then, the house touched down other place where Dorothy has never been to. And then they met three strange people and a witch. They told her how to go back Kansas. It was going to wizard of Oz and ask him. It was the moment the journey which she looks for wizard of Oz started.
Dorothy and Toto met some strange things which are not people, but they alive things on the them way. And then the party left heading for Emerald City where Oz lives. They were faced with some difficult problems, but they got over them difficulties somehow. At long last they arrived the Emerald City and they met the wizerd of Oz.....
The first I read the story, I thought that it like "Momotaro" because Dorothy gathered her pals, and they came through a lot of difficulties, but the end of story is not same. It is not so much 'The broth of them not same' as but 'The end is different'.
The author of the book is Lyman Frank Baum was born in Chittenago New York State. His first job was an actor, but also wrote for newspapers and for the theater. He had four children, and like to tell them stories, so in 1897 he wrote his first children's book. He was soon very successful, and in 1900 the Wonderful Wizard of Oz came out.
