Alice cried and cried, and her tears made a deep pool around her. After a few minutes, she heard footsteps, and saw the white rabbit. He had a fan and a pair of white glQY-e-s. He looked worried, and he did not see Alice. "Oh, the Duchess is going to be angry! I'm so late!" said the rabbit. "Excuse me said Alice.

The rabbit turned round and saw Alice. He screamed,  the fan and the gloves, and ran up the fan and the gloves, and said, "Oh dear! Everything is so strange today!"

 

Suddenly, she saw that she was quite small again. "The fan is making me small!" she said and dropped it on the floor. "Now I can go through the door!" She ran to the door, but it was shut, and the key was on the table again. Alice tried to climb up the table, but she felt and landed in a pool of water. "What's this?" said Alice. "Am I in the sea?" But it wasn't the sea. "It's the tears I cried when was big!" said Alice. "Oh, why did I cry so much?" Just then, Alice saw that she was not alone in the pool. There was a mouse, a duck, a dodo, a young eagle, and many other strange creatures. Alice and the animals started to swim, and they soon got* to the shore of the pool of tears, 13

Alice, the animals and the birds stood on the shore. They were very wet.

"How are we going to get dry?" asked Alice.

"The best way to get dry, " said the Dodo, "is to "

It made a           on the ground and the animals all started to run around the circle. They ran for half an hour, and when they stopped, they were dry.

"But who is the winner?" asked Alice.

The Dodo thought for a long time, and then it said, "EVERYONE is the winner! EVERYONE must have a prize!"

"But who is going to give the prizes?" asked the mouse.

"SHE is!" said the Dodo, and he pointed to Alice.

"Prizes! Prizes!" shouted the animals.

Alice looked in her pockets and found• a box of sweets. There was one sweet each, so they sat down and ate them.

Alice looked around at all the animals.

"l miss my cat," she said.

"You've got a CAT?" said the mouse.

"Oh yes, " said Alice. "Her name is Dinah. She's very clever. She catches birds and mice, and —

Oh! What did I say?"

The animals were very upset. The mouse ran away, and some of the birds flew' into the air.

"It's time to go!" the others said. "Goodbye!" Alice was alone again. She fett• very sad.

"Nobody here likes me, " she said, and started crying again.

Suddenly, Alice heard footsteps. She looked up and saw the rabbit again, He was very worried. "Oh dear! Where are they?" he said. "The Duchess is going to be very angry! Where did I drop them?" "He's looking for his fan and gloves," thought Alice.

She looked for them, too, but they were back in the room with the glass table, and she didn't know where that was any more.

Just then, the rabbit saw Alice. "Mary Ann!" he shouted. "Why are you here? Go home right now and find me a pair of gloves and a fan!"

                        "He thinks I'm his             thought Alice, but she was too scared to say anything.

She ran away and soon saw a little house, with the name "W. RABBIT" on the door.

She went inside and ran upstairs. In the tiny bedroom, she saw a table with a fan and some white gloves on it. There was also a little bottle. Alice picked it up.

"I'm tired of being so small," she thought, "l wonder what this drink does. " Alice drank the drink.

"Oh! I'm growing again!" said Alice, as her head hit the ceiling. But this time, she grew even bigger. She sat on the floor, with one arm out of the window and one foot up the chimney. She was very unhappy.

"How can I get out of here now?" she thought.

Just then, Alice heard the rabbit.

"Mary Ann!" he shouted. "Where are my gloves and fan?"

The rabbit ran up the stairs and tried to open the bedroom door.

"Hmm!" said the rabbit. "There's something inside. Never mind. I can go through the window. " The rabbit ran again and looked up at the bedroom window.

"Pat! Bill!" he shouted. "What is that in the bedroom window?" "It's an arm, sir!" said another voice,

"Well, take it out of my window!" shouted the rabbit.

Pat the tried to get through the window, but Alice moved her arm and he fell down again. Then Bill the tried to get down the chimney, but Alice moved her leg and he flew out again.

Next, Pat and Bill threw' stones at Alice through the window. When the stones landed on the ftoor, they changed into little cakes. Alice ate one of the cakes, and started to get smatter.

"Wonderful!" she said. "I'm just the right size!" She put some cakes in her pocket and went downstairs. She ran out of the house, across the garden and into a wood.

opened the door. He had another sort of uniform. The fish-man gave' the frog-man the huge letter.

"This is for the Duchess," he said. "It's an invitation from the Queen to play croquet." Then the fish-man walked away, and the frog-man sat on the front steps.

Alice went up to the door and knocked.

"Why are you knocking?" asked the frog-man. "I can't let you in, because I'm outside. Anyway, noone can hear you knocking. "

He was right. There was a terrible noise coming from inside the house. Alice heard screams, sneezes, and loud crashes.

"Well, how can I get in?' asked Alice.

"Why don't you open the door?" asked the frog-man.

Alice opened the door and went into the house. She was in a large kitchen. In the middle of the kitchen was the Duchess, with a noisy baby. There was a cook near the fire with a huge pot of soup.

The air was full of           Alice sneezed.

There was a large cat near the fire. It smiled at Alice.

"Why is your cat smiling?" Alice asked the Duchess.

The Duchess sneezed. "It's a Cheshire Cat," she said. Then she shouted "Pig!" "Excuse me?" said Alice.

"I'm talking to the baby," said the Duchess.

"Well, that's not a nice thing to say!" said Alice.

"Mind your own business!" shouted the Duchess. "Cook! Cut off her head!" Alice was scared, but the cook didn't listen to the Duchess.

"Here! Take the baby!" said the Duchess, and she gave the baby to Alice. "l must get ready for croquet with the Queen!"

The Duchess went to get ready for croquet, and Alice took the baby outside.

"That's not a good place for a baby to live, " she said. She looked at the baby. It looked tike a little pig. It made a noise like a pig, too.

"You ARE a pig! " said Alice to the baby. She put it on the ground and it walked away into the wood. "Where am I now?" thought Alice.

Alice looked around and saw the Cheshire Cat in a tree, with a big smile on its face. "Excuse me," she said, "can you tell me which way to go?" "Where do you want to get to?" asked the cat.

"i don't know," said Alice. "Where can I go?"

"A Hatter lives over there," said the cat. He pointed one way. "And a March Hare lives over there. " He pointed the other way. "You can visit either of them. They're both mad." "I don't want to visit mad people, " said Alice.

"Well, I'm sorry," said the cat, "but we're all mad here! I'm mad. You're mad. Goodbye!" The cat slowly  starting with its tail, until Alice could only see its smile.

"I'm going to visit the March Hare," Alice said, and she walked through the wood until she came to the March Hare's house.

When she saw the house, Alice knew' she was in the right place. There was fur on the roof, and the chimneys looked like long ears.

There was a long table under a tree in the March Hare's garden. The Hatter and the March Hare were at the table, There was a Dormouse between them. It was fast asleep.

Alice sat in one of the chairs- "Hello!" said the March Hare. "Have some lemonade!" Alice looked at the table. There wasn't any lemonade. There was only tea. can't see any lemonade," she said.

"There isn't any," said the March Hare.

"Then it was rude to offer it to met" said Alice.

"It was rude to sit down at my table," said the March Hare. "l didn't invite you. " "There are chairs. " said Alice.

Nobody spoke* for a few minutes. Then the Hatter asked, "What day of the month is it?" "It's the fourth," said Alice.

The Hatter looked at his watch. "Two days wrong," he said to the March Hare. "I told you not to put butter in the watch. "

"It was very good butter, " said the March Hare.

Alice looked at the watch, "How funny!" she said. "It tells the day of the month, but it doesn't tell the time. "

"Of course not!" said the HatteL "Does your watch tell you what year it is?"

"No," said Alice, "because the year stays the same for a long time."

"Exactly!" said the Hatter. "Now, I want a clean cup! Let's all move round the table!" They all moved to the next seat. Now Alice had a dirty cup in front of her. don't think —" she said.

"Then don't talk!" said the Hatter.

     Alice was so angry that she walked away from the table. "What a           tea party!" she said.

Queen (Db FJ4eafttg

Alice walked through the wood, away from the March Hare's house. Suddenly, she saw a tree

"How strange!" she said. "But then, everything is strange today. "

She went through the door. She was in the long room with the glass table again. This time, she took the key and unlocked the tiny door first. Then she ate one of the cakes from the rabbit's house.

"Now I'm small enough to go into the garden at last!" she said, and she went through the door.

There were a lot of people in the garden. First, Alice saw three gardeners. They looked like playing cards with black spades on them. Then ten soldiers walked across the grass. They had black clubs on them. Then the children ran across the garden. They were playing cards, too, and they had red hearts on them. The knave of Hearts came• next, and then Alice saw the White Rabbit, and the King and Queen of Hearts.

Alice stood still and waited. The King and Queen stopped in front of her. The gardeners quickly lay' down on their faces.

"Who is this?" asked the Queen of Hearts. "What's your name, child?"

"My name is Alice, your Majesty," Alice said. "I mustn't be afraid," she thought. "They're only a

to make hoops.

It was very difficult to play croquet with a flamingo. The pink birds didn't want to stay still. People shouted at each other and ran around the garden. The Queen got very angry and shouted

"Cut off his head! " or "Cut off her head!" every few minutes.

Alice wanted to get away, but she didn't know where to go.

                    "Hello, Cheshire Cat, " she said. and the           cat appeared on the garden wall.

"How are you?" asked the cat. "Are you enjoying yourself?" "It's not a very good game," said Alice. "Everyone " Alice looked around and saw the Queen behind her.

"What is this?" asked the Queen.

"it's the Cheshire Cat, " said Alice.

"I don't want it here!" shouted the Queen.

"It's the Duchess's cat. Ask her to take it away," said Alice.

One of the soldiers went to get the Duchess, but the cat started to disappear again. When the Duchess arrived, it was gone.

"I'm so happy to see you again!" said the Duchess. She took Alice's arm and they walked around the garden. The Duchess was very ugly, and she held' Alice very tight. Alice was glad when the Queen called her.

"You must meet the Mock Turtle!" shouted the Queen. They walked to another part of the garden, where a Gryphon was asleep in the sun,

"Get up, you lazy thing!" shouted the Queen. "Take Alice to see the Mock Turtle!" The Queen went back to the croquet game and the Gryphon sat up slowly. "Come on, " it said to Alice.

The Mock Turtle talked and talked. Alice didn't understand much of his story, but she listened politely. Then the Mock Turtle started to sing a song. Alice and the Gryphon danced. Suddenly, they heard a shout from far away. "The trial is starting! " "Come on! " said the Gryphon. He took Alice's hand and they ran.

"What triat is it?" asked Alice. But the Gryphon didn't answer. They ran faster and faster, and Alice could still hear the Mock Turtle's song behind them.

The Gryphon took Alice to a large courtroom. The King and Queen were there, with a crowd of people around them. The White Rabbit was next to the King. He had a trumpet in one hand, and some paper in the other.

There was a table in the middle of the courtroom, with a large plate of tarts on it.

"They look delicious," thought Alice.

The King was the judge, and the jury were animals and birds. Alice saw Bill and Pat, the Mouse, the Duck and the Dodo in the jury box.

Suddenly the White Rabbit shouted, "Silence in court!" He blew* on his trumpet and read* from his paper.

"The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts, All on a summer day.

The Knave of Hearts, he stole* the tarts,

And took them far away!"

Then he shouted, "1 call the first witness!"

The first witness was the Hatter. He had a cup in one hand and a piece of bread and butter in the other. "I'm sorry, " he said, "but I'm still having my tea."

"Still?" asked the King. "When did you start?" "On the fourteenth of March," said the Hatter.

"Cut off his head!" shouted the Queen.

"Can I finish my tea first?" asked the Mad Hatter.

"Oh, just go away," said the King. "Call the next witness!"

Just then, Alice looked down. "Oh no!" she said. "I'm growing again!" Alice wanted to leave the courtroom, but she couldn't move.

"The next witness is Alice!" shouted the White Rabbit.

Alice stood up.

"Now, " said the King, "what do you know about these tarts?" Nothing!" said Alice.

"There is a rule, " said the King. "All people more than a mile high must leave the courtroom. " "I'm not a mite high!" said Alice.

"Yes, you are, ' said the King.

"Nearly two miles, " said the Queen.

"Well, I don't want to go," said Alice.

"Cut off her head!" shouted the Queen,

"l don't care!" said Alice. "You're just a pack of cards!"

The whole pack of cards flew up into the air and flew at Alice's face, She gave a little scream and tried to push them away. Suddenly she was by the river, next to her sister. There were dead leaves on her face.

"Oh, are you awake now, Alice?" asked her sister. "What a long sleep!"

"Oh!" said Alice. "l had such a strange dream!"

She told her sister about all the funny things she saw and all the unusual people she met' in her dream.

"That WAS a strange and wonderful dream!" said her sister. "But now it's time for tea
