And yet, Dorothy, despite both her fear and confusion at this strange world she found herself in, managed to assert herself and brought about the best possible outcome. She did not do this by virtue of any special gift or talent.
She did it by remaining Dorothy, even when her world turned into OZ.

There must be a lesson in that for all of us.
