Then Alice
saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it and
put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them. She moved
a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one.
She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door
and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden.
It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.
"Oh, how beautiful!" she said. "I'd love to go there but
I'm too big to get through the door."
She
walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.
"I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before," she said, a little
confused.
She
put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words "DRINK
ME" on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately.
First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn't a label on it that said
"POISON".
So
she put the bottle to her lips and drank.
"Mmm, ifs nice," she said. It tasted
like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast-all the things that she
liked to eat-so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty.
"What a curious feeling," she said. "I'm getting smaller
and smaller.'" It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.
"Good! I can go through the door into the garden," she said.
But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn't have the key! It was on
the table. She couldn't reach it because she was too small now. She sat down
and cried.
After a while she said, "Alice! Stop crying! Crying doesn't help!
Dry your tears immediately!"
When
she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked
it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words "EAT
ME" on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.
"If I grow bigger I can reach the key," she thought. "And
if I grow smaller I can go under the door."
But
nothing happened so she finished it.
