Chapter I.
Alice sat next to her sister under some trees. She had nothing to do. She looked at her sister's book but it had no pictures in it. Alice thought it wasn't very interesting to look at a book with no pictures. The sun was hot and Alice felt a little sleepy. Suddenly a while rabbit with pink eyes ran by. Well that wasn't so strange. Alice also didn't think it curious when she heard the rabbit say, "Oh dear, oh dear, I shall be late."
But then the rabbit took a watch out of its pocket. Alice thought this was very strange. She stood up and ran after the white rabbit and was just in time to see it go down a large rabbit hole. Alice went after the rabbit. She did not think how dangerous this was. The rabbit hole was just like a long passage. Suddenly Alice fell. She fell and fell. She had a lot of time to look around her as she went down. She saw that on the walls of the hole there were cupboards and bookshelves. There were also some maps and pictures. Down, down, down she fell. "How many miles have I fallen?" - thought Alice.
At last she stopped. She didn't break anything when she fell. She felt fine. It was dark but she could just see the white rabbit. The rabbit ran down a long passage. Alice heard the rabbit say, "Oh, how late it's getting." Alice was just behind the rabbit. Suddenly it went round a corner and disappeared.
Alice was now in a long hall with many lamps. There were many doors but they were all closed. Alice did not know how to get out. On a table by one of the doors was a golden key but Alice could't open the doors with the key. Then she found a low curtain and behind it a little door only fifteen inches high. Yes, the key opened this door. But Alice couldn't even get her head through the door. What could she do?
She went back to the table to look for another key but there were no other keys. This time she found a little bottle. "Drink me," said the words on the bottle. "Oh, but what if it is poison?" thought Alice. Alice tried it and it was so nice that she drank it all. "How curious," thought Alice. "I'm getting smaller." Now she was only ten inches tall. But the key was on the table and now she was too short. This was too much and Alice sat down and cried. But then she saw a little glass box under the table. She opened it and found a small cake with the words "Eat me" on it.
"Well, I'll eat it," thought Alice. "I have nothing to lose. If I am bigger I can get the key. If I am smaller then I can go under the door," She ate the cake and was big again.
