the wonderful wizard of oz

Aunt Em is a farmer's wife. Once young and pretty, hard work and farm life changed her. She was small, thin, and gaunt. Time had taken the sparkle from Em's eyes and stolen her smile.

When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young, pretty wife. The sun and wind had changed her, too. They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray; they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips, and they were gray also. She was thin and gaunt, and never smiled now.
