📚✨ The Wizard of Oz: How the Balloon Was Launched 🎈🌪️
Hello, little adventurers! 🧒✨ Are you ready for a new magical moment from The Wizard of Oz? Dorothy is so close to finding her way back home to Kansas, but things take an unexpected twist! When the Wizard reveals his plan to use a hot air balloon 🎈, it seems like her wish might finally come true. But as always, there’s a surprise waiting! Let's explore this incredible chapter and see what happens when Dorothy and Oz prepare for their big lift-off! 🌟
The Great Balloon Plan 🎈🪄
In this chapter, Dorothy’s longing for Kansas is stronger than ever. While her friends—Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and the Lion—are all content with their new gifts, Dorothy still dreams of reuniting with Aunt Em and Uncle Henry. 😢🏡
To help her, the Wizard comes up with a plan: he decides to build a hot air balloon from green silk 🎨, using the hot air from a fire to make it float! Dorothy is excited, and the two of them work together, sewing the strips of silk while the Wizard adds a coat of glue to keep the balloon airtight. After three days, the balloon is finally ready to fly! 🧵🔥
A Sky-High Farewell 🚀👋
With the balloon complete, Oz announces to the people of the Emerald City that he is going on a special visit to a “great brother Wizard in the clouds.” 🌥️ He even names the Scarecrow as the new ruler of the Emerald City! 🤴✨ The crowd gathers in awe as the balloon is brought out, and Oz begins to fill it with hot air. As the balloon starts to lift off the ground, the Wizard urges Dorothy to jump into the basket.
But, oh no! 😲 Dorothy can’t find Toto, who has run off to chase a kitten! 🐶🐱 She manages to find him, but just as she reaches the balloon, the ropes snap and the balloon floats away without her!
Dorothy is left behind, calling out to the Wizard, but he is unable to return. “Goodbye!” he shouts as he disappears into the sky. The crowd watches as Oz drifts away, and that is the last time anyone in the Emerald City sees the Wonderful Wizard. 😢👋
