Dorothy was an orphan So she was sent to Kansas to live with her Uncle Henry and her Auntie Em They lived in a farmhouse that Uncle Henry had built Can I help you Dorothy asked There’s nothing you can do replied Uncle Henry You’re just a little girl 4
Then Uncle Henry put a trapdoor in the floor He dug a large hole under the trapdoor He placed a ladder for them to climb down This cellar will protect us from cyclones said Uncle Henry 5
When Dorothy looked out her front door she saw only the flat prairie Not a tree nor a house disrupted the flat country The stretch of dull gray land seemed to go on forever 6
Only Dorothy’s dog Toto could make her laugh Toto was never dull They played all day long and Dorothy loved him dearly 7
