There were no trees or houses. And the earth was baked dry by the sun. 房子的四周是空旷的田野，没有树木和房屋，只有被太阳烤灸的土地。 Life was very hard on the farm. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em were not old, but they looked old because the sun and wind made their skin dry. The hard work took away their happiness, and they never laughed or even smiled. 农场的生活非常艰苦，亨利叔叔和爱姆婶婶并非年老，只是因为风吹日晒使他们的皮肤干燥，日复一日的劳作夺走了他们的快乐，他们从不大笑，甚至连一丝微笑也没有。 Dorothy did not often laugh either.Sometimes,though, her litle dog, Toto,made her laugh.She often played with him, and she loved him very much. 有时，即使她的小狗图图逗她笑。多萝茜也不常常大笑，她常和图图一起玩，她也很爱图图。 On this day, she was not playing with him, however.lnstead she was standing at the door of the house,looking at the sky. It was very dark, and there was a whistling sound in the air. 然而，就在这天，她没有和图图一起玩，而是站在房子的门口看着天空。天空漆黑一片，空中传来阵阵风啸声。 Uncle Henry said, “Theres a cyclone coming.Illput the animals in the shed.” 亨利叔叔说道：“龙卷风来了，我去把牲口赶到牲口棚里” He ran out of the house to the shed. Aunt Em came to the door and looked at the sky. 他从房子里冲了出来，朝牲口棚跑去。爱姆婶婶来到门口看了看天空。 “Quickly, Dorothy, she shouted. “Go to the cellar. “多萝茜，快点！到地洞去躲躲。” Aunt Em ran to the door of the cellar and opened it. Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door.Before she could climb down the ladder into the cellar,a great wind picked up the house. It turned it roundand round and round and then carried it high into the sky. 爱姆婶婶跑到地洞门口，把门打开。多萝茜抱起图图跑到地洞门口，
