When Dorothy clicked together the heels of her ruby red slippers, she said, "There's no place like home," as the good witch Glenda had instructed, but nothing happened. Alarmed, she repeated it over and over. After five times, Glenda put her hand on Dorothy's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry, child. It looks like these shoes are broken."

Dorothy was dismayed. "How could they be broken? They came off the Wicked Witch of the West after I threw water on her!"

Glenda, ever patient, gently explained, "Dearest Dorothy, the evil witch was probably so evil, the magic of the shoes slowly died. I'm sorry, but it looks like you are stuck here with us...forever."

"But what about Auntie Em and Uncle Henry?" asked Dorothy, tears welling in her eyes, stunned at the possibility she would never see them again.

"Well, sweet Dorothy, I didn't want to be the one to tell you this, but there was a tornado, of course, and... they didn't make it."

"What?!" shrieked Dorothy. "No, no, no, no, no! It can't be! No!" and she fell to her knees, sobbing with her head in her hands.

Glenda gently patted her head. "There, there, Dorothy. I know this is bad news, but you have a new family now! There's me, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow!"

Dorothy's friends surrounded her in a big group hug, murmuring, "We love you, Dorothy!" Then Toto barked excitedly. "And you still have Toto, too!" Glenda added, smiling.

Toto forced his way through the crowd of friends and jumped into Dorothy's arms. Dorothy dried her tears with Toto's fur and said, sniffling and trying to smile bravely, "You know, you are right. Friends are the family you choose. This is my new home now, and there IS truly no place like it!"
