Alice's Adventures in Wonderland chapter 1 down the rabbit [Music] hole on a golden Summer Afternoon Alice Sat by the river her older sister Charlotte sat beside her happily reading a book Feeling bored Alice glanced at her sister's book what's the point of a book without pictures Alice asked asked Charlotte was too busy reading to reply Alice gave a tired sigh and thought about making a daisy chain however that would require getting up to pick the daisies and the hot day was making Alice feel very tired and lazy suddenly a rabbit ran past the two girls
he was white and wore a colorful vest oh dear oh dear he cried I'm going to be late Alice was so sleepy that she didn't think a talking animal was strange but then the White Rabbit pulled the watch from his vest pocket rabbits don't wear vests Alice said to herself and they certainly don't carry watches Alice jumped up and ran after the white rabbit near a hedge he popped down a large Rabbit Hole Alice followed right after him not thinking about how she'd get out suddenly she was falling help Alice cried she felt as if
she were falling down a deep well it was too dark to see anything below so Alice looked around as she fell the rabbit hole was lined with cupboards and shelves map maps and pictures decorated the walls Alice grabbed a jar labeled orange Jam from one shelf she was disappointed to discover it was empty oh if I Dro this jar it might kill somebody below Alice said she slipped it onto the next shelf she passed Alice continued to fall after this I'll never get upset about just falling down so stairs why I won't even complain if
I fall off the roof down down down with this fall ever end how many miles have I Fallen by now Alice said I must be getting near the center of the earth what if I fall right through the Earth where would she end up Alice tried to remember her geography lessons I'll just just have to ask the first person I meet I'll say please ma'am is this New Zealand or Australia Alice was silent for a while but then she started thinking about Dina her cat I hope someone remembers to feed Dina tonight Alice said aloud
oh Dina I wish you were here there aren't any mice in the air but you might catch a bat do cats eat bats do bats eat cats didn't know the answer to either question and she was feeling so so tired she was beginning to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dina th suddenly Alice landed on a pile of sticks and dry leaves oh she wasn't hurt so she jumped right up ahead the White Rabbit was hurrying down a long passage I'd better catch up with that rabbit Alice ran as fast as she
could oh my ears and whiskers it's getting very late the White Rabbit said as he turned a corner Alice turned the corner too but the White Rabbit had disappeared she was now in a long low Hall with doors lining both walls lamps hanging from the ceiling dimly illuminated the hall the White Rabbit must have gone through one of these doors Alice said she walked down one side of the hall trying every door they were all locked she walked up the other side of the hall those doors were locked [Music] too Alice stood sadly in the
middle of the hall how will I ever get out of here she [Music] cried Alice's Adventures in Wonderland chapter 2 a strange [Music] drink looking around the dimly lit Hall Alice spotted a glass table on top of it lay a tiny gold key I wonder if this will unlock a door Alice said as she picked up the [Music] key she tried the key in every door on both both sides of the [Music] hall it was too small but Alice didn't give up she tried again and this time she discovered a small curtain H this wasn't
here before Alice said pulling aside the curtain behind it was a door about 15 in high and the tiny gold key fit perfectly Alice opened the door and knelt down she peered through a small passage to a beautiful garden wow that's the loveliest Garden I've ever seen she said look at those flowers and that Fountain Alice wanted to wander through the garden but she was too big she wished she could make herself small enough to fit through the [Music] door I'm sure I could if only I knew how to begin she said so many strange
things had already happened that nothing seemed impossible anymore there is no point in Waiting by The Little Door Alice thought she headed back to the table maybe there will be another key or instructions for shrinking myself Alice said instead she found a bottle which had def def itely not been there before tied around its neck was a paper label drink me it said in large beautiful letters I'm not going to drink some strange liquid Alice said that could be poison Alice examined the label carefully but there was no mention of poison so she decided to
take a [Music] sip M that's delicious Alice licked her lips it's like a mixture of cherry tart pineapple roast turkey and buttered [Music] toast Alice liked the liquid so much that she soon finished the whole bottle and then something strange began to happen what an odd feeling Alice looked around her I seem to be shrinking and indeed Alice was only 10 in high but she was not upset she was now the perfect size to fit through the little door Alice was eager to enter the garden but she waited a few minutes I want to be
sure I finished shrinking she said what if I keep shrinking until there's nothing left of me fortunately for Alice that didn't happen so she walked over over to the little door which had mysteriously closed [Music] again Alice reached in her pocket for the key oh no I left the key on the table Alice raced back to the table she could see the key quite clearly through the glass but there was no way she could reach it trying to climb one of the glass legs Alice slid back to the floor the leg was so [Music] slippery
still she kept trying until she was exhausted Alice sat down and cried but that only lasted for a minute crying won't help you Alice said to herself she wiped her eyes now there was a glass box under the table inside was a cake with the words eat me spelled out in [Music] raisins if this cake makes me grow larger I can reach the key Alice said If I Grow smaller I can creep under the door either way I'll get into that Garden Alice took a bite and nothing happened she was very disappointed because she now
expected strange things to occur this is a useless cake Alice said but she ate it all anyway and then she began to grow Alice's Adventures in Wonderland chapter 3 the pool of [Music] Tears things are getting Stranger by the minute Alice said as she kept growing when she looked down her feet were almost out of sight goodbye feet Alice said I wonder who will put on your shoes and socks I will be much too far away to help you then she began to worry what if her feet wouldn't walk where she wanted to go they
must be nice to them I'll give them a new pair of boots every Christmas but it will seem strange to send presents to my own feet oh dear I am talking nonsense just then her head hit the whole ceiling Alice kept growing she was more than 9 ft tall but she wasn't upset now she was big enough to reach the gold key on the glass table Alice picked up the key and hurried to the Garden door poor Alice she was so big if she lay on her side she could look into the garden with one
eye as for getting into the garden that was harder than ever Alice started to cry again she tried scolding herself but that only made her cry harder Alice cried buckets of Tears a large pool formed around her 4 in deep and spreading halfway down the hall after a while Alice heard Footsteps in the distance she quickly wiped her eyes so she could see who was coming it was the White Rabbit wearing a jacket and carrying white gloves and a fan he trotted Through The Dark Hall muttering to himself The Duchess The Duchess she be very
angry if I've kept her waiting Alice was feeling very desperate by now she was willing to ask for help from anyone even a talking rabbit she waited until the White Rabbit was nearby before speaking in a quiet timid voice please sir startled the White Rabbit dropped his gloves and fan he ran as fast as he could into the [Music] darkness Alice picked up the rabbit's things she began to Fan herself because the hall was very hot how strange everything is today Alice said yesterday everything was normal I wonder if I somehow changed overnight I almost
think I did feel a little different this morning Alice continued to Fan herself maybe I've been changed into another person she thought about all her friends she hadn't been changed into any of them Alice burst into tears again I wish Charlotte would look down this rabbit hole and call my name I'm so tired of being here all alone as she said this she looked down she saw that she'd put on one of the white rabbit's gloves how can his glove fit me it must be shrinking again Alice ran back to the table and stood next
to it for comparison she decided that she was about 2 ft High and she was continuing to shrink it must be the fan Alice said she dropped it to save herself from completely disappearing that was a narrow escape and now for the garden Alice ran back to the Garden door but it was locked again and she didn't have the key she searched the hall and found the key on the glass table how did the key get here Alice looked up at it in despair things are worse than ever because I've never been this small before
just as she said this her foot slipped wo Alice fell up to her chin in salt [Music] water [Music] little fox
