Amazing transformations of the magician Goodwin. The amazing transformations of the magician Goodwin What is his creative potential directed at?

James Goodwin is one of the most controversial sorcerers of the Enchanted Land and the rulers of the Emerald City.

Appearance

Acquaintance with the "wizard" James Goodwin is unusual. At first, we only hear about him (in the scene when Villina tells Ellie about the Emerald City and its ruler), then Ellie and her friends talk about him, using the epithet "Great and Terrible" and thinking about how the sorcerer looks and what he is similar (head, mermaid, fireball, six-legged). And only then, by pure chance, thanks to the dog Totoshka, we see an elderly man of small stature, with a large head and a wrinkled face, dressed in a colorful waistcoat, striped trousers and a long frock coat. And the first phrase of this little man was a maxim:

“I am Goodwin, the Great and Terrible,” the little man answered in a trembling voice. "But please, please don't touch me!" I will do whatever you ask of me!"

When James Goodwin arrived in Fairyland, he was only about 30 years old, “He was short, strongly built, and had lush red hair. And most importantly, he was energetic and enterprising. He had golden hands, accustomed to any craft.

Personality and character

The prototype of James Goodwin was the wizard from Oz from a series of fairy tales by L.F. Baum. A.M. Volkov only changed the name and slightly corrected the "biography" of the imaginary sorcerer. S. Sukhinov supplemented information about Goodwin. In all three authors, the magician appears as a dreamer, dreamer, storyteller, inventor. By nature - kind, but somewhat selfish.

Magic

James Goodwin is an illusionist, magician and circus performer (according to S. Sukhinov, a local theater actor, then a carpenter, loader, salesman and director of a department store) from Kansas (although for some time our hero lived in the state of Dakota, in the city of Aberdeen, working as an aeronaut ). He is not a mage in the truest sense of the word. Just like Ellie, Goodwin ended up in Fairyland by accident, being carried by the hurricane of the evil sorceress Gingema. And, like Ellie, the simple-hearted locals mistook him for a great sorcerer.

Goodwin decided to take advantage of this: he hid the truth from them and became the ruler of the Green Country. In order not to be exposed, he came up with several tricks with masks, and the rumor about his "magic" spread throughout the Fairyland.

Years of pretense began with the first lie. It was not an easy life, as Goodwin himself later admitted.

Goodwin with Scarecrow brains

He built the Emerald City, in which everything was "green" in color. In fact, the emerald color was given by glasses that were worn by all the inhabitants of the city without exception. And only the emeralds on the highest towers of the city were real.

Goodwin's ingenuity is shown in the scenes in which the "wizard" gives Ellie's friends a coveted heart sewn from a red piece of cloth, brains from pins and needles, "courage" from valerian.

Most of all, he was afraid of real sorceresses, he even tried to fight with them, but failed. The good-natured but weak-willed Goodwin was so intimidated that he sent a little girl and her friends to fight Bastinda.

When Goodwin was exposed, the imaginary wizard was even delighted: he was very sick of pretense, and he himself did not know how to get out of this story ...

Care

Before departure

James Goodwin left Fairyland in a balloon, appointing the Scarecrow the Wise as ruler of the Emerald City. Actually, he flew away because of Ellie: the girl had to be returned home. But it so happened that the rope was torn off the Earth earlier, and Goodwin returned to Kansas alone. There he opened a grocery store. In the future, Ellie and her uncle, the one-legged sailor Charlie, saw Goodwin and called him to help the Fairyland, but he flatly refused.

All of a sudden they all quiet down and part. In the center of the square appears a throne made of green marble, shining with emeralds. And on this throne lies a huge living head, one head, without a torso... Only Ellie and her friends find themselves in front of the throne. Ellie steps forward.

ELLIE. I am Ellie, small and weak. I came from afar and I ask you for help.

ELLIE. From the cave of the evil sorceress Gingema. My house fell on her - she died, and now the glorious munchkins are free ...

ELLIE. Send me home, to Kansas, to my father and mother...

GOODWIN'S VOICE. Here is my answer: I do nothing for nothing. If you wish to use my magical arts to return home, you must do as I command you. Free the Purple Land from the power of the evil sorceress Bastinda.

ELLIE. But I can't do it.

ELLIE. It was Villina's magic that did it, and I'm a simple little girl...

ELLIE(cries). You are asking for the impossible!

ELLIE. Great and terrible Goodwin! You do not want to comply with my request. But then please, I beg you, help at least my friends. They came with me and are waiting for you to fulfill their cherished desires. They dreamed so much about meeting you!...

GOODWIN. I will fulfill their desires only if I myself deem it necessary!

Suddenly, the large head disappears, and a beautiful sea maiden with a brilliant fish tail appears in its place. The maiden fans herself with a fan, making monotonous mechanical movements with her hand. The Scarecrow gathers his courage and bows respectfully.

SCARE. Good stump! Oh, that is, the day! Do you happen to know where Goodwin is?

SCARE. Can't be!

SCARE. Somehow I didn't think about that.

SCARE. How do you know?

The woodcutter takes a few steps towards the throne. And again, Goodwin magically changes his appearance. Now a monstrous beast sits on the throne. His snout is like that of a rhinoceros, and about a dozen eyes are scattered on it, staring blankly in different directions. Pieces of twelve paws of different lengths and thicknesses hang from the clumsy torso.

worry me?

WOODCUTTER. I am a Woodcutter and made of iron. I don't have a heart and I don't know how to love. Give me a heart and I will be like all people. This is my most cherished wish!

It is the Lion's turn to go to Goodwin, but when he wants to approach the throne of the great wizard, he jumps back in amazement: a fireball sways and shines above the throne.

A LION. I am a cowardly lion! I would like to get some courage from you to become the king of the beasts, as everyone calls me.

Leaving the Emerald City, Ellie and her friends return the gatekeeper (Goodwin) with green glasses.

ELLIE. This Goodwin was not at all what I expected. I thought he was kind, I thought he would take pity on me and bring me back to my mom and dad ...

GOODWIN. But he didn't refuse you, did he?

ELLIE. He ordered first to defeat the evil sorceress Bastinda. But I don't even know who she is?

GOODWIN. Bastinda has ruled the Purple Land for two hundred years, and has intimidated the poor people of the Winklings so that they blink incessantly, and some even have eye twitches.

ELLIE. I'm scared!

GOODWIN. But you are not alone. True friends are with you.

ELLIE. It's good to have wonderful friends like you around! With you, I really have almost nothing to fear. Well, it's time for us to hit the road again!

SCARE. Hey hey hey hey! Hold on, wicked Bastinda! Soon we will come to your Purple country, and then you will not be in trouble!

Goodwin (character) Goodwin (character)

Goodwin (also Goodwin, Great and Terrible)(in the original by L. F. Baum: Wizard of Oz - Wizard of Oz) is one of the heroes of the fairy tale cycle about the Magic Land and the Emerald City (author Alexander Volkov, founder Lyman Frank Baum).

History of Goodwin

Unsuccessful dreamer James Goodwin, who worked at the circus, is caught in a hurricane, which blows him along with a balloon to Fairyland. There he lands in the Green Country, where the inhabitants mistake him for a wizard.

Returning to Kansas, Goodwin continued his career in the circus, and upon its completion he opened a grocery store. Ellie saw Goodwin at least twice in Kansas, and once even invited him to go on a new trip to Magic Land, which Goodwin categorically refused.

Goodwin in the works of various authors

Wizard of Oz

In L.F. Baum's original work, the Wizard was also an ordinary man named Oscar Zoroaster Fadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuel Ambroise Diggs (Eng. Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs ). He worked as a circus magician in Omaha, Nebraska. As one of the numbers, he used a balloon, on which he wrote his initials - O. Z. On this balloon, he ended up in the Land of Oz during a hurricane. The inhabitants of Oz, because of the identity of the initials with the name of the country, mistook Oscar for the great Wizard and offered him to rule the country, since there was no ruler in it at that time. Oz agreed, and to maintain his reputation as a magician, he used his circus props. When Dorothy and her friends exposed the magician, he flew home to Omaha, leaving the Scarecrow the Wise to temporarily rule the country until the rightful ruler of Oz, Princess Ozma, took the throne. Despite the fact that Oz was no longer the ruler of Oz, he is also found in the following works of L. F. Baum, for example, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, where they, along with Dorothy and the boy Zeb, enter a magical land through a crack in the earth formed after an earthquake.

An excerpt characterizing Goodwin (character)

“Well, I’m hell to see you,” Denisov interrupted him, and his face again took on a worried expression.
“Mikhail Feoklitich,” he turned to the esaul, “after all, this is again from a German. He is pg "and he is a member." And Denisov told the esaul that the content of the paper brought now consisted in a repeated demand from the German general to join in attacking the transport. "Wow," he concluded.
While Denisov was talking to the esaul, Petya, embarrassed by Denisov's cold tone and assuming that the position of his pantaloons was the reason for this tone, so that no one would notice this, adjusted his fluffy pantaloons under his greatcoat, trying to look as militant as possible.
“Will there be any order from your high nobility?” - he said to Denisov, putting his hand to his visor and again returning to the game of adjutant and general, for which he had prepared, - or should I remain with your honor?
“Orders?” Denisov said thoughtfully. - Can you stay until tomorrow?
- Oh, please ... Can I stay with you? Petya screamed.
- Yes, how exactly were you ordered from the geneg "ala - now to get out"? Denisov asked. Petya blushed.
Yes, he didn't say anything. I think it is possible? he said inquiringly.
“Well, all right,” said Denisov. And, turning to his subordinates, he made orders that the party go to the designated resting place near the guardhouse in the forest and that the officer on a Kyrgyz horse (this officer acted as adjutant) went to look for Dolokhov, find out where he was and whether he would come in the evening . Denisov himself, with the esaul and Petya, intended to drive up to the edge of the forest, overlooking Shamshev, in order to look at the location of the French, which was to be directed tomorrow's attack.
“Well, God’s ode,” he turned to the peasant conductor, “take me to Shamshev.
Denisov, Petya and the esaul, accompanied by several Cossacks and a hussar who was carrying a prisoner, drove to the left through the ravine, to the edge of the forest.

The rain had passed, only fog and drops of water fell from the branches of trees. Denisov, the esaul, and Petya silently followed the peasant in the cap, who, lightly and silently stepping with his feet turned out in bast shoes over the roots and wet leaves, led them to the edge of the forest.
Coming out to the izvolok, the peasant paused, looked around and headed towards the thinning wall of trees. At a large oak tree, which had not yet shed its leaves, he stopped and mysteriously beckoned to him with his hand.
Denisov and Petya drove up to him. From the place where the peasant stopped, the French were visible. Now a spring field was going down behind the forest like a semi-hillock. To the right, across a steep ravine, one could see a small village and a manor house with collapsed roofs. In this village, in the manor house, and along the whole hillock, in the garden, by the wells and the pond, and along the entire road uphill from the bridge to the village, no more than two hundred sazhens away, crowds of people could be seen in the wavering fog. Their non-Russian cries were clearly heard at the horses in the carts tearing up the mountain and calls to each other.
“Give the prisoner here,” Denisop said quietly, not taking his eyes off the French.
The Cossack dismounted from his horse, removed the boy, and together with him approached Denisov. Denisov, pointing to the French, asked what kind of troops they were. The boy, thrusting his chilled hands into his pockets and raising his eyebrows, looked frightened at Denisov and, despite his apparent desire to say everything he knew, got confused in his answers and only confirmed what Denisov was asking. Denisov, frowning, turned away from him and turned to the esaul, telling him his thoughts.
Petya, turning his head with quick movements, glanced first at the drummer, then at Denisov, then at the esaul, then at the French in the village and on the road, trying not to miss something important.
- Pg "is coming, not pg" is Dolokhov, you have to bg "at! .. Huh?" Denisov said, his eyes flashing merrily.
“The place is convenient,” said the esaul.
“We’ll send infantry from below—by swamps,” Denisov continued, “they’ll crawl up to the garden; you will call with the Cossacks from there, ”Denisov pointed to the forest outside the village,“ and I’m from here, with my gusags.
“It won’t be possible in a hollow - it’s a quagmire,” said the esaul. - You will bog down the horses, you have to go around to the left ...
While they were talking in an undertone in this way, below, in the hollow from the pond, one shot clicked, smoke began to turn white, another, and a friendly, as if cheerful, cry of hundreds of voices of the French who were on the half-mountain was heard. In the first minute, both Denisov and the esaul leaned back. They were so close that it seemed to them that they were the cause of these shots and screams. But the shots and screams did not belong to them. Below, through the swamps, a man in something red was running. Obviously, the French were shooting at him and shouting at him.
- After all, this is our Tikhon, - said the esaul.
- He! they are!
“Eka rogue,” said Denisov.
- Leave! - screwing up his eyes, said the esaul.
The man whom they called Tikhon, running up to the river, flopped into it so that the spray flew, and, hiding for a moment, all black from the water, got out on all fours and ran on. The French, who were running after him, stopped.
- Well, clever, - said the esaul.
- What a beast! Denisov said with the same expression of annoyance. And what has he done so far?
- Who is this? Petya asked.
- This is our plast. I sent him to pick up the language.
“Ah, yes,” said Petya from Denisov’s first word, nodding his head as if he understood everything, although he decidedly did not understand a single word.
Tikhon Shcherbaty was one of the most needed people in the party. He was a peasant from Pokrovsky near Gzhatya. When, at the beginning of his actions, Denisov came to Pokrovskoye and, as always, calling the headman, asked what they knew about the French, the headman answered, as all the headmen answered, as if defending themselves, that they did not know anything, know they don't know. But when Denisov explained to them that his goal was to beat the French, and when he asked if the French had wandered into them, the headman said that there had been marauders for sure, but that in their village only Tishka Shcherbaty was engaged in these matters. Denisov ordered Tikhon to be called to him and, praising him for his activities, said a few words in front of the headman about the loyalty to the tsar and the fatherland and hatred for the French, which the sons of the fatherland should observe.
“We do no harm to the French,” said Tikhon, apparently timid at these words of Denisov. - We only so, means, on hunting dabbled with the guys. It’s like two dozen Miroderov were beaten, otherwise we didn’t do anything bad ... - The next day, when Denisov, completely forgetting about this peasant, left Pokrovsky, he was informed that Tikhon had stuck to the party and asked to be left with it. Denisov ordered to leave him.
Tikhon, who at first corrected the menial work of laying fires, delivering water, skinning horses, etc., soon showed a great desire and ability for guerrilla warfare. He went out at night to plunder and each time brought with him a dress and French weapons, and when he was ordered, he brought prisoners. Denisov put Tikhon away from work, began to take him on trips with him and enrolled him in the Cossacks.

THE AMAZING TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE WIZARD GOODWIN
The next morning, the green girl washed and combed Ellie and led her to the throne room of Goodwin.
In the hall next to the throne room, gentlemen of the court and ladies in elegant costumes gathered. Goodwin never went out and never received them. However, for many years they spent every morning in the palace, laughing and gossiping; they called it court service and were very proud of it.
The courtiers looked at Ellie with surprise and, noticing the silver shoes on her, bowed low to her to the ground.
- Fairy ... fairy ... this is a fairy ... - a whisper was heard.
One of the most daring courtiers approached Ellie and, bowing incessantly, asked:
“I dare to inquire, gracious lady fairy, did you really get a terrible reception from Goodwin?”
“Yes, Goodwin wants to see me,” Ellie replied modestly.
There was a murmur of surprise in the crowd. At this time the bell rang.
- Signal! the green girl said. “Goodwin wants you into the throne room.
The soldier opened the door. Ellie timidly entered and found herself in a wonderful place. Goodwin's throne room was round, with a high vaulted ceiling; and everywhere - on the floor, on the ceiling, on the walls - countless precious stones shone.
Ellie looked ahead. In the center of the room stood a throne of green marble gleaming with emeralds. And on this throne lay a huge living head, one head, without a body ...

The head was so imposing that Ellie froze with fear.
The face of the head was smooth and glossy, with full cheeks, with a huge nose, with large, tightly compressed lips. The naked skull gleamed like a convex mirror. The head seemed lifeless: no wrinkles on the forehead, no folds at the lips, and only the eyes lived on the whole face. With incomprehensible agility, they turned in their orbits and stared at the ceiling. As the eyes rolled, there was a creaking sound in the stillness of the room, and Ellie was startled by it.
The girl looked at the incomprehensible movement of the eyes and was so confused that she forgot to bow her head.
“I am Goodwin, great and terrible!” Who are you and why are you bothering me?
Ellie noticed that the mouth of the head did not move and the voice, soft and even pleasant, was heard as if from the side.
The girl perked up and replied:
“I am Ellie, small and weak. I came from afar and I ask you for help.
The eyes turned in their orbits again and froze, looking away; they seemed to want to look at Ellie, but they couldn't.
The voice asked:
Where did you get your silver shoes from?
- From the cave of the evil sorceress Gingema. My house fell on her - crushed her, and now the glorious munchkins are free ...
– Munchkins released?! – revived voice. “And Gingema is no more?” Good news! The eyes of the living head spun and finally stared at Ellie. - Well, what do you want from me?
- Send me to my homeland, to Kansas, to my father and mother ...
Are you from Kansas? interrupted the voice, and good human notes were heard in it. - And how is it now ... - But the voice suddenly stopped, and the eyes of the head turned away from Ellie.
“I'm from Kansas,” the girl repeated. “Although your country is magnificent, I don’t like it,” she continued bravely. There are dangers at every turn...
– What happened to you? the voice asked.
- Dear, I was attacked by a cannibal. He would have eaten me if my faithful friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, had not rescued me. And then we were chased by saber-toothed tigers... And then we ended up in a terrible poppy field... Oh, this is a real sleepy kingdom! Lev, Toto, and I fell asleep there. And if it were not for the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, and even the mice, we would have slept there until we died ... Yes, all this is enough to talk about for the whole day. And now I ask you: please fulfill the three cherished desires of my friends, and when you fulfill them, you will also have to return me home.
Why should I bring you home?
“Because it’s written in Villina’s magic book…”
“Ah, this is the good sorceress of the Yellow Country, I heard about her,” said the voice. Her predictions don't always come true.
“Because of that,” Ellie continued. That the strong should help the weak. You are a great sage and magician, and I am a helpless little girl...
“You were strong enough to kill the evil sorceress,” the head objected.
"It was Villina's magic that did it," the girl answered simply. - I have nothing to do with this.
“Here is my answer,” said the living head, and its eyes rolled with such extraordinary rapidity that Ellie cried out in fright. “I don’t do anything for free. If you wish to use my magical arts to return home, you must do as I command you.
The eyes of the head blinked many times in a row. Despite her fright, Ellie followed her eyes with interest and waited for what they would do next. The movements of the eyes did not at all correspond to the words of the head and the tone of her voice, and it seemed to the girl that her eyes were living an independent life.
The head was waiting for a question.
“But what should I do? Ellie asked surprised.
“Free the Purple Country from the power of the evil sorceress Bastinda,” the head replied.
“But I can't! Ellie screamed in fright.
“You ended the slavery of the Munchkins and managed to get Gingema's magic silver slippers. There is one evil sorceress left in my country, and poor, timid winks, the inhabitants of the Purple Country, are languishing under her rule. They also need to be free...
– But how to do it? Ellie asked. “I can’t kill the sorceress Bastinda, can I?”
“Um, um…” The voice trailed off for a moment. - I don't care. You can put her in a cage, you can expel her from the Purple Country, you can ... Yes, in the end, - the voice got angry. You will see what can be done on the spot! The only important thing is to get rid of her dominance of Winkies, and judging by what she told about herself and her friends, you can and should do it. Thus said Goodwin, the great and terrible, and his word is law!
The girl began to cry.
You are asking the impossible from us!
“Any reward must be deserved,” the head objected dryly. “This is my last word: you will return to Kansas with your father and mother when you free the Winkies. Remember that Bastinda is a powerful and evil sorceress, terribly powerful and evil, and you must deprive her of her magical powers. Go and do not return to me until you have completed your task.
Sad Ellie left the throne room and returned to her friends, who were anxiously waiting for her.
- No hope! – said the girl with tears. “Goodwin ordered me to deprive the evil Bastinda of her magical powers, and I will never do that!”
Everyone was sad, but no one could console Ellie. She went to her room and cried until she fell asleep.

Goodwin seated the guests in easy chairs and began:

My name is James Goodwin. I was born in Kansas...

How?! Ellie was surprised. - And you're from Kansas?

Yes, my child! Goodwin sighed. - We are countrymen. I left Kansas many, many years ago. Your appearance touched and excited me, but I was afraid of exposure and sent you to Bastinda. He lowered his head in shame. - However, I hoped that the silver shoes would protect you, and, as you can see, I was not mistaken ... But let's get back to my story. In my youth I was an actor, I played kings and heroes. Convinced that this occupation gives me little money, I became a balloonist ...

By whom? Ellie didn't understand.

Ball-lo-ni-stom. I went up in a balloon, that is, in a balloon filled with light gas. I did this for the amusement of the crowd, driving around the fairs. I always tied my balloon with a rope. One day the rope broke, my balloon was caught by a hurricane, and it rushed off to no one knows where. I flew for a whole day, swept over the desert and huge mountains, and descended into the Fairyland, which is now called Goodwin's country. People came running from everywhere and, seeing that I was descending from the sky, mistook me for the Great Magician. I did not dissuade these gullible people. On the contrary, I remembered the roles of kings and heroes and played the role of a wizard quite well for the first time (however, there were no critics!). I declared myself the ruler of the country, and the inhabitants obeyed me with pleasure. They expected my protection from the evil sorceresses who visited the country. First of all, I built the Emerald City.

Where did you get so many green marbles? Ellie asked.

And so many different green things? asked the Tin Woodman.

Patience, my friends! You will soon know all my secrets,” said Goodwin, smiling. - There is no more greenery in my city than in any other. It's all about, - he mysteriously lowered his voice, - it's all about the green glasses that my subjects never take off.

How? Ellie screamed. - So, the marble of houses and pavements ...

White, my child!

What about emeralds? asked the Scarecrow.

Plain glass, but a good grade! added Goodwin proudly. - I spared no expense. And then, the emeralds on the towers of the city are real. After all, they can be seen from afar.

Ellie and her friends were more and more surprised. Now the girl understood why the ribbon around Toto's neck turned white when they left the Emerald City.

And Goodwin calmly continued:

The construction of the Emerald City lasted several years. When it ended, we had protection from evil sorceresses. I was still young at the time. It occurred to me that if I was close to the people, they would see me as an ordinary person. And then my power will end. And I closed myself in the throne room and adjoining rooms.

I cut off communication with the whole world, not excluding my servants. I got the supplies that you saw and started working miracles. I have given myself the solemn names of Great and Terrible. After a few years, people forgot my real appearance, and all kinds of rumors about me spread around the country. And I achieved this and tried in every possible way to maintain my glory as a great sorcerer. In general, I succeeded, but there were also misses. My campaign against Bastinde was a major setback. The Flying Monkeys have defeated my army. Fortunately, I managed to escape and got rid of captivity. Since then, I have been terribly afraid of sorceresses. It was enough for them to know who I really was and I would have come to an end: after all, I am not a magician! And how glad I was when I learned that Ellie's house had crushed Gingham! I decided that it would be good to destroy the power and the second evil sorceress. That is why I sent you so insistently against Bastinda. But now that Ellie has melted it, I'm ashamed to admit that I can't keep my promises! Goodwin finished with a sigh.

I think you're a bad person, - said Ellie.

No, my child! I'm not a bad person, but a very bad wizard!

So I won't get brains from you? asked the Scarecrow with a groan.

Why do you need brains? Judging by everything I know about you, your mind is no worse than that of any person with brains, Goodwin flattered the Scarecrow.

Maybe so, - objected the Scarecrow, - but still without brains I will be unhappy!

Goodwin looked at him carefully.

Do you know what brains are? - he asked.

No! - confessed the Scarecrow. - I have no idea.

Fine! Come see me tomorrow and I'll fill your head with top-notch brains. But you yourself must learn to use them.

Oh, I will learn! cried the Scarecrow joyfully. I give you my word that I will! Hey hey hey hey! I'll have brains soon! - dancing, sang the happy Scarecrow.

Goodwin looked at him with a smile.

And what about courage? - timidly stuttered Leo.

You are a brave animal! Goodwin replied. - You lack only faith in yourself. And then, every living being is afraid of danger, and courage lies in conquering fear. You know how to overcome your fear.

And you give me such courage, - Lev interrupted stubbornly, - so that I am not afraid of anything.

Good, Goodwin said with a sly smile. - Come tomorrow and you'll get it.

And you have it boiling in a pot under a golden lid? inquired the Scarecrow.

Almost so! Who told you? Goodwin was surprised.

Farmer on the road to the Emerald City.

He is well informed about my affairs,” Goodwin remarked curtly.

Will you give me a heart? asked the Tin Woodman.

The heart makes many people unhappy,” said Goodwin. - It's not a very big advantage to have a heart.

One can argue about that,” the Tin Woodman resolutely objected. - I will endure all misfortunes meekly, if I have a heart.

Fine. Tomorrow you will have a heart. After all, I had been a wizard for so many years that it was hard not to learn anything.

What about going back to Kansas? - Ellie asked, very worried.

Ah, my child! This is a very difficult task. But give me a few days time, and perhaps I will be able to transport you ...

You can, you definitely can! Ellie exclaimed happily. “After all, the magic book of Villina says that I will return home if I help three creatures achieve the fulfillment of their most cherished desires.

Friends, satisfied, left the throne room of Goodwin, and Ellie had hope that the Great and Terrible Deceiver would return her to Kansas.
