Ruby slippers
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
In The Wizard of Oz, Judy Garland, playing Dorthy wore a pair of ruby slippers. She got the slippers after her house fell on the Wicked Witch of the West, destroying the witch and letting her use them. The witch's sister, the Wicked Witch of the East wanted the ruby slippers and hounded Dorothy for them throughout her entire journey down the yellow brick road. The Wicked Witch of the East wanted the slippers for herself so she could become the most powerful witch in all of the land of Oz.
Dorothy knew that the slippers were powerful, but didn't know why. At the end of the film, she learns the formula: click your heels together three times, and repeat "There's no place like home."
There were a number of pairs of slippers made for the film. One pair is on permanent exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States; the others are owned by private collectors.
