ALICE
IN WONDERLAND
It was a warm summer day and Alice was
getting bored sitting beside her sister, who had her nose buried in a book.
Suddenly, a little White Rabbit with pink eyes ran in front of her shouting,
"Oh dear, oh dear, I'm late."
The Rabbit
pulled a watch out of his pocket to check the time. He shook his head, then
disappeared down a rabbit's hole. "I must find out why he's in such a
hurry !" cried Alice. Filled with curiosity, she ran to the rabbit's hole
and peeped through the entrance.
The hole dropped
suddenly and Alice fell. "When will I ever reach the bottom of this
dreadful hole?" she shouted, while falling helplessly downwards.
Finally she
landed in a long, narrow hallway with doors of many sizes. On a three-legged
table, Alice found a tiny gold key and a green bottle that said "DRINK
ME". "This key must fit one of the doors," she said.
Alice began to
shrink until she was no bigger than a doll. She opened the door and quickly ran
through it. "What a splendid garden !" she exclaimed. "Why, I'm
no bigger than the insects that crawl on these flowers." But the
excitement soon wore off. Alice grew bored with her tiny size. "I want to
be big again," she shouted.
Her shouts
startled the White Rabbit, who ran past her again. Mistaking her for his maid,
he ordered, "Go to my cottage and fetch my gloves and fan."
Alice was
confused by the Rabbit's behaviour. "May be I'll find something at the
cottage to help me," she said hopefully.
A piece of
chocolate cake was kept on a table by the doorway. Next to the cake was a note
that read "EAT ME". "I'm so hungry," Alice said as she ate
the cake. "I feel strange. Oh no ! I've grown larger than this house
!" she cried.
"Get out of
my way ! You're blocking thedoor !" shouted the White Rabbit. Alice
managed to pick up his fan. Immediately, she began to shrink.
"Oh, I'll
never get back to the right size," Alice cried. She went looking for help.
Soon, she saw a green caterpillar dressed in a pink jacket. He was sitting on
the top of a large mushroom, smoking a bubble pipe. "One side makes you
big, the other side makes you small," he said to Alice before slithering
away.
"One side of what?" Alice called after him. "The
mushroom, silly,” he answered.
Alice ate a piece of the mushroom."Thank goodness, I'm
growing !" she cried, "But which way do I go?"
"That path
leads to the Mad Hatter. The other way leads to -Lae March Hare," said a
voice. Alice turned to find a smiling Cheshire Cat in a tree. "I'll see
you later at the Queen's croquet game," he said before disappearing.
Alice walked
down a path, "How lovely ! A tea party," she thought. "There's
no room for you !" shouted the Mad Hatter, "You may stay if you
answer my riddle." Alice smiled. She loved riddles.
After several
riddles, Alice became confused. "Every time I answer, you ask a
question," she told the Mad Hatter.
"We don't
know any answers," he giggled. "This is a waste of time,"
scolded Alice. The others ignored her. They were trying to wake the Dormouse.
Alice continued
her walk. She found herself in the middle of a field where the Queen of Hearts
was playing croquet. Her guards and gardeners were shaped like cards. One
gardener had planted white roses by mistake and then painted them red,
"Off with their heads !" shrieked the Queen. "I hate white roses
!" "Have you ever played croquet?" the Queen asked Alice.
"Yes,"
Alice timidly answered. "But I've never used a flamingo or a
hedgehog." "Play with me !" ordered the Queen."And let me
win or I'll have your head !" Alice tried her best to play we,l, but she
had trouble with her flamingo. "Off with her head !" cried the Queen.
Just then a trumpet sounded at the distance calling court to session.
Everyone rushed
into the courtroom. "Court is now in session," announced the White
Rabbit, "Will Alice please come to the stand?" Alice took the stand
and looked at the jury box, where the March Hare and the Mad Hatter were making
noise. The Dormouse slept and the Cheshire Cat smiled at her. "What's
going on?" asked Alice.
"You are
guilty of stealing the delicious heart-shaped tarts !" accused the Queen,
"And now you must be punished. Off with her head Off with her head!"
yelled the Queen.
"How
silly," replied Alice. "I did not have the slightest idea what you
were talking about ! I was only playing croquet."
Alice felt
someone touch her shoulder, "Wake up. You've been sleeping for too long,"
said her sister softly.
"I had a
strange dream," said Alice. She told her sister about the White Rabbit,
the mad tea party, the Queen of Hearts and the trial. But her sister wasn't
paying attention. "You're reading again," mumbled Alice. As she
stretched, Alice saw a little White Rabbit with pink eyes scurry behind a tree.
