Their house was small, for the lumber
65、to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles. There were four walls, a floor and a roof, which made one room; and this room contained a rusty looking cookstove, a cupboard for the dishes, a table, three or four chairs, and the beds. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner, and Dorot
66、hy had a little bed in another corner. There was no garret at all, and no cellarexcept a small hole dug in the ground, called a cyclone cellar, where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose, mighty enough to crush any buildings in its path. It was reached by a trap door in th
67、e middle of the floor, from which a ladder led down into the small, dark hole. When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around, she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side. Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all
68、directions. The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass, with little cracks running through it. Even the grass was not green, for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere. Once the house had been painted, but the sun blistered th
69、e paint and the rains washed it away, and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else. When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife.

70、heeks and lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled now. When Dorothy, who was an orphan, first came to her, Aunt Em had been so startled by the childs laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart whenever Dorothys merry voice reached her ears; and s
71、he still looked at the little girl with wonder that she could find anything to laugh at. Uncle Henry never laughed. He worked hard from morning till night and did not know what joy was. He was gray also, from his long beard to his rough boots, and he looked stern and solemn, and rarely spoke. It was
72、 Toto that made Dorothy laugh, and saved her from growing as gray as her other surroundings. Toto was not gray; he was a little black dog, with long silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose. Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and
73、 loved him dearly. Today, however, they were not playing. Uncle Henry sat upon the doorstep and looked anxiously at the sky, which was even grayer than usual. Dorothy stood at the door with Toto in her arms, and looked at the sky too. Aunt Em was washing the dishes. From the far north they heard a l
74、ow wail of the wind, and Uncle Henry and Dorothy could see where the long grass bowed in waves before the coming storm. There now came a sharp whistling in the air from the south, and as they turned their eyes that way they saw ripples in the grass coming from that direction also. 导语: 绿野仙踪是美国作家莱曼弗兰克

80、来不笑。他从早到晚努力干活, 不知道什么是快乐。从他的长须直到他粗糙的鞋子, 也全是灰色的, 他看起来庄重严肃, 很少说话。让多萝茜笑的是托托, 在多萝茜和四周一切事物一样都逐渐褪变成灰色时, 托托带来了不同的色彩; 托托不是灰色的, 它是一只小黑狗, 有着柔软滑顺的长毛, 一对小黑眼睛, 在它那只有趣的极小的鼻子两边, 快乐地眨着。 多萝茜整天跟它在一起玩着, 并且十分喜欢托托。然而, 今天他们没有一起玩。亨利叔叔坐在门口的阶沿上, 烦恼地望着比平时更加灰暗的天空。多萝茜抱着托托, 站在门口, 也望着天空。爱姆婶婶正在洗盆碟。他们听到北风低低的哀叫声, 亨利叔叔和多萝茜看到风暴到来之前的草原, 像波浪似地起伏着。接着, 从南方的高空中, 也传来了一种尖锐的呼啸声。他们转眼望去, 只见在那个方向的草同样掀起了波浪。关闭Word文档返回原板块
