"Over the hill of the Hammer-Heads (за холмом Молоткоголовых)," he answered, "lies a grand old forest (лежит огромный старый лес), and all the beasts that live there have made me their King (и все звери, которые живут в нем, сделали меня своим Королем). If I could only get back to this forest (если бы я только мог вернуться в этот лес), I would pass my life very happily there (я бы счастливо проводил там свою жизнь; to pass — идти, проходить; проводить /время, день и т. п./)."

"My second command to the Winged Monkeys," said Glinda "will be that they carry you safely to the land of the Winkies. Your brain may not be so large to look at as those of the Scarecrow, but you are really brighter than he is — when you are well polished — and I am sure you will rule the Winkies wisely and well." Then the Witch looked at the big, shaggy Lion and asked, "When Dorothy has returned to her own home, what will become of you?"

"Over the hill of the Hammer-Heads," he answered, "lies a grand old forest, and all the beasts that live there have made me their King. If I could only get back to this forest, I would pass my life very happily there."

"My third command to the Winged Monkeys (моим третьим приказанием Крылатым Обезьянам)," said Glinda, "shall be to carry you to your forest (будет /приказание/ отнести тебя в твой лес). Then, having used up the powers of the Golden Cap (затем, полностью использовав силу Золотой Шапки; to use up — израсходовать, использовать), I shall give it to the King of the Monkeys (я отдам ее Королю Обезьян), that he and his band may thereafter be free for evermore (чтобы он и его стая могли навечно стать свободными)."

The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman and the Lion now thanked the Good Witch earnestly for her kindness (тогда Страшила, Железный Дровосек и Лев от всей души: «искренне» поблагодарили Добрую Ведьму за ее доброту; earnest — серьезный, важный; искренний); and Dorothy exclaimed (а Дороти воскликнула): "You are certainly as good as you are beautiful (ты действительно столь же добрая, сколь и красивая)! But you have not yet told me how to get back to Kansas (но ты еще не сказала мне, как мне вернуться в Канзас)."
