The four travelers see a beautiful green light in the sky in front of them.

"That's the Emerald (翡翠) City, "Dorothy says. "Come on!It isn't far now. "Soon they come to a big green wall. There's a gate in it. It's shining in the afternoon sun. Dorothy looks at it carefully. It's made of emeralds!She knocks on the gate. The gate opens and they all go inside. A little man in green clothes is standing there with a big box.

"What do you want in the Emerald City"he says. "We want to see the Great Oz, "Dorothy answers. "It's important, "the Scarecrow says.

"I am the Keeper of the Gate, "the little man in green says. "I can take you to his Palace. But before you go there, you must put on these glasses. "He takes five pairs of glasses out of the box. The glass in the glasses is emerald green.

"Why" Dorothy asks.

"Everyone in the Emerald City wears them, " the Keeper of the Gate says.

They put on the glasses. Then the Keeper takes out a big gold key and opens another gate. Dorothy is surprised. Everything is green--the houses and the streets. The sky is also green. Children are buying green juice with green money. Men in green clothes are driving green cars along the green streets. Everybody is smiling.

The Keeper of the Gate takes them to a big building in the middle of the city. Oz cannot see them today, so they must stay in the Palace for a few days.

A young girl takes them to their rooms. These rooms are beautiful and comfortable. They feel very tired now. . . .

一 Taken from The Wonderful Wizard of OZ

Along time ago, there lived a very wise king. He was so wise that he knew the ways of almost everything. One day, a tiny bee lost her way, and flew into the king's beautiful palace. The little bee begged the king." Please, let me live, and l will offer you help some other day."

The king was amused (被逗乐的)to think a tiny bee could one day help a powerful king like him. He let the bee go and said, "Go, be on your way for l need nothing more from you today."

Many days later, a queen was coming to visit from a far-away land.

"I hear you are wise." the queen aid to the king. "Would you be willing to put your intelligence to atilt?

The king agreed and the queen did her best, with puzzles, quizzes, and difficult questions. But the king soiled all the problems perfectly.

On the last day of her visit, the queen came up with another plan. She ordered the workers to produce ninety-nine fake flowers, but looking so real and natural. When finished, even he queen could not tell they were fake. She was sure the king would fake the same mistake. And from the Ying's garden, she took just one real flower and cleverly hid it among all the others.

The queen then challenged the king." My workers creaked many beautiful flowers. Ninety-nine are fake, but one is real somewhere. Can you find that one?"

The king accepted the challenge again. He smelled the flowers, but they were all so sweet, and all so beautiful. Now which one could the real flower be? The king became a bit nervous. Suddenly, he heard a buzzing: sound something was there flying around. I was the tiny little bee he saved many days before. "I am here to repay the kindness you gave me, Sir."

The little bee quickly flew over the flowers and stopped on the real one the king picked the flower and handed it to the queen. Finality, the queen had to give up and told everyone the king was truly the wisest man in the world.
