Glinda the Good stepped down from her ruby throne to give the little girl a good - bye kiss , and Dorothy thanked her for all the kindness she had shown to her friends and herself .

The Silver Shoes took but three steps , and then she stopped so suddenly that she rolled over upon the grass several times before she knew where she was .

And oh , Aunt Em ! I’m so glad to be at home again ! ”
