[00:00:00]There's no place like home.

[00:00:02]One of the most famous lines in English.

[00:00:06]Everyone knows it, but where does it come from?

[00:00:09]>> The Wizard of Oz?

[00:00:12]>> The movie, yes, but the book came first, 1900.

[00:00:17]L. Frank Baum, a man who failed at everything.

[00:00:21]>> Everything?

[00:00:23]>> Business, acting, newspapers, all of it.

[00:00:26]But then he sat down and wrote a fairy tale.

[00:00:30]Not a dark European fairy tale, something new.

[00:00:34]A bright American adventure for children.

[00:00:37]>> What's different about it?

[00:00:39]>> No evil stepmothers, no scary forest, just wonder.

[00:00:44]And here's what most people don't know.

[00:00:47]In the book, Dorothy wears silver shoes, not ruby slippers.

[00:00:52]>> The movie changed them?

[00:00:55]>> The movie changed a lot, but the story is even better.

[00:01:00]Let's hear it. A gray farm, a tornado, and a girl named Dorothy.

[00:01:06]>> Dorothy lived on a gray farm in Kansas with her Aunt Em.

[00:01:11]Everything was gray. The sky, the land, even Aunt Em's face.

[00:01:17]One day, a terrible cyclone came spinning across the plains.

[00:01:22]It lifted the whole house into the sky with Dorothy inside.

[00:01:28]The house flew through the air for hours.

[00:01:31]When it landed, it crushed the Wicked Witch of the East.

[00:01:36]Tiny people called Munchkins came out cheering.

[00:01:41]A good witch named Glinda gave Dorothy silver shoes.

[00:01:46]"Follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City," she said.

[00:01:51]Dorothy set off down the yellow brick road.

[00:01:54]In a cornfield, she found a scarecrow stuck on a pole.

[00:02:00]He could talk, he could walk, but he had no brain.

[00:02:05]"I want to think," the scarecrow said, "real thoughts."

[00:02:10]Dorothy smiled. "Come with me. The wizard can help."

[00:02:15]The scarecrow jumped down and followed her happily.

[00:02:19]He was made of straw. He could not feel pain.

[00:02:24]But there was one thing he feared, fire.

[00:02:28]Deep in the forest, they heard a strange sound.

[00:02:32]A man made of tin stood frozen between the trees.

[00:02:37]He was rusted solid. He could not move at all.

[00:02:41]Dorothy found an oil can and oiled his joints.

[00:02:46]Slowly, he began to move again.

[00:02:49]He told them his sad story.

[00:02:52]A witch had cursed him. His body was cut away piece by piece.

[00:02:58]A tinsmith replaced everything with tin, even his chest.

[00:03:04]"I lost my heart," he said. "I want to love again."

[00:03:09]Deeper in the forest, a huge lion jumped out.

[00:03:13]He roared at them and tried to bite Toto.

[00:03:18]Dorothy slapped his nose. The lion started to cry.

[00:03:22]"I'm a coward," he said. "Everything scares me."

[00:03:26]He was the king of the forest, but afraid of everything.

[00:03:32]His one wish was courage, real, true courage.

[00:03:37]So, he joined them.

[00:03:39]Now, there were four on the road.

[00:03:42]A girl, a scarecrow, a tin man, and a crying lion.

[00:03:48]At last, they reached the Emerald City.

[00:03:52]Everything sparkled green, the buildings, the streets, the sky.

[00:03:58]Everyone wore green glasses to protect their eyes.

[00:04:03]They went to see the great and powerful Wizard of Oz.

[00:04:08]But Oz appeared different to each of them.

[00:04:11]A giant floating head, a beautiful woman, a ball of fire.

[00:04:17]Oz gave them one condition.

[00:04:20]"Kill the Wicked Witch of the West, then I'll grant your wishes."

[00:04:25]They had no choice. They set off toward the west.

[00:04:30]The Wicked Witch saw them coming with her one good eye.

[00:04:34]She sent wolves. They failed. She sent crows. They failed, too.

[00:04:41]She sent a swarm of bees. That failed, as well.

[00:04:45]Finally, she called the winged monkeys.

[00:04:49]They tore the Scarecrow apart and threw the Tin Woodman off a cliff.

[00:04:55]The Lion was chained. Dorothy became the Witch's slave.

[00:05:00]The Witch wanted Dorothy's silver shoes.

[00:05:04]She tried to steal them.

[00:05:06]Dorothy grabbed a bucket of water.

[00:05:09]She threw it at the Witch. The Witch screamed and melted away.

[00:05:15]Dorothy freed her friends and put them back together.

[00:05:20]They went back to the Emerald City, proud and brave.

[00:05:25]"We did it," Dorothy said. "Now keep your promise."

[00:05:29]But little Toto pulled back a green curtain in the corner.

[00:05:34]Behind it stood a small, bald, old man.

[00:05:38]No giant head, no fire, just a scared little man from Omaha.

[00:05:45]The great Wizard of Oz was a fraud. A balloon had brought him.

[00:05:50]Still, he gave the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and bran.

[00:05:55]He gave the Tin Woodman a silk heart and the lion a green drink.

[00:06:01]Fake gifts, but the three friends believed and felt changed.

[00:06:08]Only Dorothy was left. Oz had no way to send her home.

[00:06:14]Dorothy traveled south to find Glinda, the good witch.

[00:06:19]Glinda smiled and told her something amazing.

[00:06:23]The silver shoes had the power to take her home all along.

[00:06:28]"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Dorothy cried.

[00:06:32]"Because you had to learn it yourself."

[00:06:35]Glinda said gently.

[00:06:37]Dorothy clicked her heels three times.

[00:06:40]"There is no place like home."

[00:06:43]She opened her eyes. Kansas, the gray farm, Aunt Em running toward her.

[00:06:51]>> Wow, she was home the whole time.

[00:06:54]>> The shoes had the power from the start.

[00:06:57]>> Right, let's unpack this.

[00:07:00]Kansas, bomb made everything gray on purpose.

[00:07:04]And then a cyclone hits.

[00:07:06]>> [snorts] >> Cyclone?

[00:07:08]>> A huge spinning storm. It picks up the whole house.

[00:07:12]But the real secret of this story still coming.

[00:07:17]Look at what bomb does with color.

[00:07:20]Kansas is gray, no color at all.

[00:07:23]But the moment she lands in Oz, green, yellow, gold.

[00:07:28]>> So Oz is the opposite of Kansas.

[00:07:31]>> And from her very first moment in Oz, all Dorothy wants is to go back to gray.

[00:07:38]>> Why?

[00:07:40]Oz sounds way better.

[00:07:42]>> That's the biggest question. We'll get there.

[00:07:46]But first, her three companions.

[00:07:49]Companions?

[00:07:51]Friends who travel with you on a journey.

[00:07:54]A scarecrow who wants a brain, a tin man who wants a heart, and a lion who calls himself a coward.

[00:08:04]The scarecrow already thinks though.

[00:08:07]He comes up with every plan.

[00:08:09]The Tin Woodman cries when he steps on a bug.

[00:08:13]And the lion fights wolves. So they already had what they wanted.

[00:08:19]But the lion keeps calling himself a coward.

[00:08:22]Coward? That just means he's shy, right?

[00:08:26]Not shy. A coward runs from danger.

[00:08:30]But the lion never runs, not once.

[00:08:33]Imagine this. You can do everything, but no one has ever told you that you could.

[00:08:40]That's what the wizard's gifts were really about.

[00:08:43]And then, the wizard.

[00:08:46]The great and powerful Oz.

[00:08:49]Except Toto pulls back a curtain.

[00:08:52]Curtain?

[00:08:54]A cloth that hides what's behind it.

[00:08:57]And behind this one, a small, bald, old man.

[00:09:02]No fire, no giant head, just a man.

[00:09:06]He came from Omaha on a hot air balloon.

[00:09:09]Landed in Oz, the people thought he was powerful.

[00:09:14]And he just played along?

[00:09:16]For years. Built a whole city around the lie.

[00:09:20]Made everyone wear green glasses.

[00:09:23]The city wasn't even green?

[00:09:26]The glasses made everything look green.

[00:09:29]So he's a fraud.

[00:09:31]Fraud? And same as a liar?

[00:09:34]Bigger. A liar tells one lie, a fraud becomes the lie.

[00:09:39]But here's the twist.

[00:09:42]His fake brain made the Scarecrow feel smarter.

[00:09:46]Does a fake gift matter as long as if it makes you believe?

[00:09:52]>> But it didn't help Dorothy.

[00:09:54]>> The lion was no coward. He proved it.

[00:09:58]The wizard was a fraud, but a useful one.

[00:10:02]Everyone got what they needed, except Dorothy.

[00:10:06]>> But the shoes could take her home.

[00:10:08]>> The silver shoes had the power the whole time.

[00:10:12]Glinda knew, but she didn't tell.

[00:10:15]>> Why not?

[00:10:17]>> Because you had to learn it yourself.

[00:10:20]Her companions taught her what mattered.

[00:10:23]>> And she chose gray Kansas.

[00:10:27]>> Remember how we started?

[00:10:30]There's no place like home.

[00:10:32]At first it sounded like a simple line.

[00:10:35]>> It doesn't sound simple anymore.

[00:10:38]>> Dorothy walked through a world of magic and color, and she chose to go back to gray.

[00:10:45]>> Because gray was hers.

[00:10:47]>> Baum didn't write a fairy tale about magic.

[00:10:51]He wrote one about knowing where you belong.

[00:10:54]>> See you in the next story.
