A Gray and Gloomy Day in Kansas 🌾🌫️

Dorothy lives with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em on the gray Kansas prairies, where everything is as dull as can be. 🌫️🏠 Their little farmhouse stands alone on the flat, empty land, with nothing but dry, cracked earth all around.

Just as she grabs him, a huge gust of wind hits, and the entire house starts spinning in the air! 🌪️🏠 Dorothy feels like she’s in a flying balloon, being carried away far from her home in Kansas. 🎈

Flying High Above the Clouds ☁️🌌

Though the wind howls fiercely outside, Dorothy finds that she’s riding quite gently inside the house. 🚪✨ She even manages to save Toto when he nearly falls into the open trap door! 🐶 She closes the door, and hour after hour, they float through the air until Dorothy falls asleep on her bed, with Toto by her side. 💤💙
