Английский язык с Л. Ф. Баумом - Волшебник страны Оз

"Thank you," replied Dorothy (ответила Дороти), and then the kind Stork flew into the air and was soon out of sight (и затем добрый Аист взвился в небо и вскоре исчез из вида; sight — зрение; поле зрения, предел видимости).

forever [fəˈrevə], kindness [ˈkaɪndnəs], beside [bɪ’saɪd], trouble [trʌbl], babies [ˈbeɪbɪz]

"I was afraid I should have to stay in the river forever," he said, "but the kind Stork saved me, and if I ever get any brains I shall find the Stork again and do her some kindness in return."

"That’s all right," said the Stork, who was flying along beside them. "I always like to help anyone in trouble. But I must go now, for my babies are waiting in the nest for me. I hope you will find the Emerald City and that Oz will help you."

"Thank you," replied Dorothy, and then the kind Stork flew into the air and was soon out of sight.

They walked along listening to the singing of the brightly colored birds (они шагали /по дороге/, слушая пение ярко окрашенных птиц = птиц с ярким оперением) and looking at the lovely flowers (и любуясь красивыми цветами;to look — смотреть, глядеть) which now became so thick that the ground was carpeted with them (которые теперь стали такими густыми = росли так густо, что земля была покрыта ими, как ковром; carpet — ковер; to carpet — устилать коврами). There were big yellow and white and blue and purple blossoms

(там росли большие желтые, и белые, и пурпурные цветы; blossom — цвет, цветение; цветок), besides great clusters of scarlet poppies (наряду с большими скоплениями алых маков; cluster — кисть, пучок, гроздь, куст), which were so brilliant in color they almost dazzled Dorothy’s eyes (которые были такого блистающего цвета, что они почти слепили глаза Дороти; brilliant — бриллиант; brilliant — блестящий, сверкающий; dazzle — ослепление; ослепительный блеск; to dazzle — слепить, ослеплять).

"Aren’t they beautiful (/ну/ разве они не красивы)?" the girl asked (спросила девочка), as she breathed in the spicy scent of the bright flowers

(вдохнув пряный аромат ярких цветов; spice — специя, пряность; острый запах, пряный аромат; spicy — приправленный специями; пряный, ароматный).

"I suppose so (полагаю так = думаю, да)," answered the Scarecrow. "When I have brains (когда у меня будут мозги), I shall probably like them better (возможно, они мне будут нравиться больше)."

"If I only had a heart, I should love them (если бы у меня только было сердце, то они бы нравились мне больше; love — любовь; to love — любить; любить /что-либо/, находить удовольствие /в чем-либо/)," added the Tin Woodman

(добавил Железный Дровосек).
