"This is a great comfort," he said. "I have been holding that axe in the air ever since I rusted, and I'm glad to be able to put it down at last. Now, if you will oil the joints of my legs, I shall be all right once more." So they oiled his legs until he could move them freely; and he thanked them again and again for his release, for he seemed a very polite creature, and very grateful.
"I might have stood there always if you had not come along," he said; "so you have certainly saved my life. How did you happen to be here?"
"We are on our way to the Emerald City to see the Great Oz (мы на своем пути = мы идем в Изумрудный Город, чтобы увидеть Великого Оза)," she answered, "and we stopped at your cottage to pass the night (и мы остановились у твоего домика, чтобы провести ночь = переночевать)."
"Why do you wish to see Oz (а почему вы хотите увидеть Оза)?" he asked.
"I want him to send me back to Kansas (я хочу, чтобы он вернул меня в Канзас), and the Scarecrow wants him to put a few brains into his head (а Страшила хочет, чтобы он вложил немного мозгов ему в голову)," she replied.
The Tin Woodman appeared to think deeply for a moment (на мгновение показалось, что Железный Дровосек глубоко задумался). Then he said (затем он сказал): "Do you suppose Oz could give me a heart (как вы полагаете, может ли Оз дать мне сердце)?"
"Why, I guess so (я предполагаю так = думаю, да)," Dorothy answered. "It would be as easy as to give the Scarecrow brains (это будет так же легко, как дать Страшиле мозги)."

"True (правда)," the Tin Woodman returned. "So, if you will allow me to join your party (тогда, если вы позволите мне присоединиться к вашей компании), I will also go to the Emerald City and ask Oz to help me (я тоже пойду в Изумрудный город и попрошу Оза помочь мне)."
