The Cowardly Lion was much pleased to hear that the Wicked Witch had been melted by a bucket of water, and Dorothy at once unlocked the gate of his prison and set him free.

They went in together to the castle, where Dorothy's first act was to call all the Winkies together and tell them that they were no longer slaves. Вони разом пішли до замку, де першим ділом Дороті зібрала всіх Вінкі і сказала їм, що вони більше не раби. There was great rejoicing among the yellow Winkies, for they had been made to work hard during many years for the Wicked Witch, who had always treated them with great cruelty. Жовті Вінкі дуже раділи, бо багато років їх змушували тяжко працювати на злу відьму, яка завжди поводилася з ними дуже жорстоко. 黄皮肤的温基人欢欣鼓舞，因为他们多年来一直为邪恶女巫辛勤劳作，而邪恶女巫总是非常残忍地对待他们。

They kept this day as a holiday, then and ever after, and spent the time in feasting and dancing. 从那时起，他们就把这一天当作节日来过，并在这一天里大吃大喝、载歌载舞。

"If our friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, were only with us," said the Lion, "I should be quite happy." "Don't you suppose we could rescue them?" "你不觉得我们可以救他们吗？" asked the girl anxiously. 女孩焦急地问。

"We can try," answered the Lion. So they called the yellow Winkies and asked them if they would help to rescue their friends, and the Winkies said that they would be delighted to do all in their power for Dorothy, who had set them free from bondage. Тож вони покликали жовтих Вінкі і запитали, чи не допоможуть вони врятувати їхніх друзів, і Вінкі відповіли, що будуть раді зробити все, що в їхніх силах, для Дороті, яка визволила їх з неволі. 于是，他们打电话给黄色的温基人，问他们是否愿意帮助解救他们的朋友。温基人说，多萝西让他们摆脱了束缚，他们很乐意为多萝西做一切力所能及的事情。

So she chose a number of the Winkies who looked as if they knew the most, and they all started away. Тож вона вибрала кількох Вінкі, які виглядали так, ніби знали найбільше, і всі вони стартували. 于是，她挑选了一些看起来最了解情况的温基人，然后他们都开始离开了。 They traveled that day and part of the next until they came to the rocky plain where the Tin Woodman lay, all battered and bent. 他们走了一天，又走了一天，直到他们来到铁皮人躺着的岩石平原，铁皮人已经遍体鳞伤、弯腰驼背了。 His axe was near him, but the blade was rusted and the handle broken off short. 他的斧头就在身边，但斧刃已经生锈，斧柄也被折断。

The Winkies lifted him tenderly in their arms, and carried him back to the Yellow Castle again, Dorothy shedding a few tears by the way at the sad plight of her old friend, and the Lion looking sober and sorry. 多萝茜在路上为老朋友的悲惨遭遇流下了几滴眼泪，狮子则一脸清醒和惋惜。

When they reached the castle Dorothy said to the Winkies:

"Are any of your people tinsmiths?" "你们有人是铁匠吗？" "Oh, yes. Some of us are very good tinsmiths," they told her. "Then bring them to me," she said. And when the tinsmiths came, bringing with them all their tools in baskets, she inquired, "Can you straighten out those dents in the Tin Woodman, and bend him back into shape again, and solder him together where he is broken?" 当铁匠们用篮子装着所有工具来的时候 她问 "你们能把铁皮人身上的凹痕修整好吗" "能把他弯回原形吗" "能把他破损的地方焊接在一起吗" The tinsmiths looked the Woodman over carefully and then answered that they thought they could mend him so he would be as good as ever. 铁匠们仔细地看了看樵夫，然后回答说，他们认为可以把他修补好，让他像以前一样好。

So they set to work in one of the big yellow rooms of the castle and worked for three days and four nights, hammering and twisting and bending and soldering and polishing and pounding at the legs and body and head of the Tin Woodman, until at last he was straightened out into his old form, and his joints worked as well as ever. To be sure, there were several patches on him, but the tinsmiths did a good job, and as the Woodman was not a vain man he did not mind the patches at all.

When, at last, he walked into Dorothy's room and thanked her for rescuing him, he was so pleased that he wept tears of joy, and Dorothy had to wipe every tear carefully from his face with her apron, so his joints would not be rusted. At the same time her own tears fell thick and fast at the joy of meeting her old friend again, and these tears did not need to be wiped away. As for the Lion, he wiped his eyes so often with the tip of his tail that it became quite wet, and he was obliged to go out into the courtyard and hold it in the sun till it dried.

"If we only had the Scarecrow with us again," said the Tin Woodman, when Dorothy had finished telling him everything that had happened, "I should be quite happy." "We must try to find him," said the girl. So she called the Winkies to help her, and they walked all that day and part of the next until they came to the tall tree in the branches of which the Winged Monkeys had tossed the Scarecrow's clothes. It was a very tall tree, and the trunk was so smooth that no one could climb it; but the Woodman said at once, "I'll chop it down, and then we can get the Scarecrow's clothes." Now while the tinsmiths had been at work mending the Woodman himself, another of the Winkies, who was a goldsmith, had made an axe-handle of solid gold and fitted it to the Woodman's axe, instead of the old broken handle. Others polished the blade until all the rust was removed and it glistened like burnished silver.

As soon as he had spoken, the Tin Woodman began to chop, and in a short time the tree fell over with a crash, whereupon the Scarecrow's clothes fell out of the branches and rolled off on the ground. Dorothy picked them up and had the Winkies carry them back to the castle, where they were stuffed with nice, clean straw; and behold!

here was the Scarecrow, as good as ever, thanking them over and over again for saving him.

Now that they were reunited, Dorothy and her friends spent a few happy days at the Yellow Castle, where they found everything they needed to make them comfortable.

But one day the girl thought of Aunt Em, and said, "We must go back to Oz, and claim his promise." "Yes," said the Woodman, "at last I shall get my heart." "And I shall get my brains," added the Scarecrow joyfully. "And I shall get my courage," said the Lion thoughtfully. "And I shall get back to Kansas," cried Dorothy, clapping her hands. "Oh, let us start for the Emerald City tomorrow!" This they decided to do.

The next day they called the Winkies together and bade them good-bye. The Winkies were sorry to have them go, and they had grown so fond of the Tin Woodman that they begged him to stay and rule over them and the Yellow Land of the West. Finding they were determined to go, the Winkies gave Toto and the Lion each a golden collar; and to Dorothy they presented a beautiful bracelet studded with diamonds; and to the Scarecrow they gave a gold-headed walking stick, to keep him from stumbling; and to the Tin Woodman they offered a silver oil-can, inlaid with gold and set with precious jewels.

Every one of the travelers made the Winkies a pretty speech in return, and all shook hands with them until their arms ached.

Dorothy went to the Witch's cupboard to fill her basket with food for the journey, and there she saw the Golden Cap. She tried it on her own head and found that it fitted her exactly. Вона приміряла його на власну голову і виявила, що він їй ідеально підходить. She did not know anything about the charm of the Golden Cap, but she saw that it was pretty, so she made up her mind to wear it and carry her sunbonnet in the basket.

Then, being prepared for the journey, they all started for the Emerald City; and the Winkies gave them three cheers and many good wishes to carry with them.
