Chapter 1
Down the Rabbit Hole

Alice was tired of sitting near her sister on the bank of the river. She didn’t know what to do:once or twice she looked into the book that her sister was reading. But the book had no pictures or conversations in it. “What is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?”

She was thinking about making adaisy-chainbut the day was hot and she felt very sleepy and lazy. Suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran past her.

The Rabbit said to itself “Oh dear! Oh dear, I shall be late!” Then it took a watch out of his pocket, and looked at it, andhurried on. Alice stood up and burning with curiosityran across the field after it. So she was just in time to see that the Rabbit jumped down a large rabbit hole under the hedge.

Alice went down after it. The rabbit hole was like a tunnel and then it suddenly went down. It was sosudden that Alice didn’t have time to think. And the next moment she was falling down the well. The well was so deep or she was falling so slowly that she had time to look around. She saw cupboards and bookshelves, there were maps and pictures there too. But she was falling down and down. “I must be near the centre of the earth,” Alice said aloud. “I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it will be to see people that walk with their heads down!

Down, down, down. “Dinah willmiss me very much, I think!” (Dinah was the cat.) Dinah, my dear!” And Alice felt sleepy when suddenly, thump! And the fall was over – she was on a heap of dry leaves.

Alice jumped up on to her feet and looked up but it was all dark there. The White Rabbit was still hurrying along a corridor. Alice went after him like a wind and heard the Rabbit say“ Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it is!” and it turned the corner. She turned the corner too but couldn’t see the Rabbit. She was now in a long hall.

There were doors all around the hall but they were all locked. Suddenly Alice saw a little glass table with a small golden key on it. But the locks in all the doors were very large and the key was very small and it couldn’t open them. But then suddenly Alice noticed a lowcurtain with a little door behind it. To her great delightthe golden key opened it!

Behind the door was a small corridor whichleadto a very beautiful garden. Alice wanted so much to be among those bright flowers and cool fountains! But even her head couldn’t get through the little door. So she went back to the table hoping to find another key on it. But this time she found there a little bottle with a paper label with large letters on it: “DRINK ME”.

Alice didn’t want to do that in a hurry. Maybe it waspoison. But the bottle did NOT say “poison” so Alice tasted it and it was very nice so soon she drank it all.

“What a curious feeling!” said Alice, “I amshutting up like a telescope”. And now she was only ten inches high. And she could go through that little door! But poor Alice! When she was near the door she remembered that the little golden key was on the table. She went back and saw that she couldn’t take it from the glass table because she was too small. So she sat down and cried.

“But there isno use in crying” said Alice to herself and soon she noticed a little glass box under the table. She opened it and found in it a very small cake with the words “EAT ME” in currants. She ate a little bit but nothing happened so very soon she ate all the cake.

Chapter 2
The Pool of Tears

“Curiouser and curiouser!” – cried Alice (she was so surprised that for the moment she forgot how to speak good English); “now I’m opening outline the largest telescope! Good-bye, feet!” (she looked down at her feet and they were almost out of sight). “Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I will be too far away. But I will send you a new pair of boots every Christmas. How funny it will seem!”

“Oh dear, whatnonsense I’m talking!”

At that moment her head hit the roof of the hall: now she was more than nine feet high. So she took the little golden key again and hurried to the garden door.

Poor Alice! This time she could look into the garden with only one eye. So she sat down and began to cry again. “You must beashamed of yourself,” said Alice, “Stop this moment, I tell you!” But she continued crying and soon there was a large pool all around her.

Suddenly she heard some sound in the distance and quickly dried her eyes to see what it was. It was the White Rabbit. It was beautifully dressed and had a pair of white gloves in one hand and a largefan in the other. He was in a great hurry saying: “Oh! The Duchess, the Duchess!” Alice needed help so much that when the Rabbit came near her she began in a low voice: “Please, sir…” The Rabbit jumped up in horror, dropped the white gloves and the fan and ran away into the darkness as fast as it could.

Alice took the Rabbit’s gloves and the fan and began thinking how strange everything was that day. “And yesterday things were just as usual. I wonder if I сhanged during the night. Who am I? That’s the greatpuzzle!” And while she was thinking about that mystery she suddenly noticed that she put on one of the Rabbit’s white gloves. “How could I do that?” she thought. Maybe I am growing small again.” So she went to the table to check it and found that she was now about two feet high and she was continuing to get smaller and smaller. And then she understood that it was the fan in her hand and she quickly dropped it.

“And now to the garden!” and Alice ran fast to the little door but! The little door was locked again and the golden key was still on the glass table. “And I am so small now!”

As she said these words her footslipped and in another moment, splash! She was in salt water. Her first idea was about the sea. But she soon understood that she was in the pool of her own tears.

“I am so sorry I cried so much! I willdrown in my own tears! That WILL be strange! But everything is strange today!”

Just then she heard somethingsplashing about in the pool and swam nearer to see what it was. At first she thought it was a walrus or a hippo but then she remembered how small she was now and understood that it was only a mouse.

“Can I speak to this mouse?” thought Alice. “I believe it can talk. I think I will try.” So she began: “O Mouse, do you know the way out of this pool? I am very tired of swimming here!” But the mouse said nothing.

“Perhaps it doesn’t understand English,” thought Alice; “Maybe it’s a French mouse.” So she began again this time with the first sentence in her French lesson-book: “Ou'est ma chatte?¹” The Mouse jumped up out of the water in horror. “Oh, I beg your pardon!” cried Alice, “I forgot you didn’t like cats.”

“Not like cats!” cried the Mouse. “Would YOU like cats if you were me²?”

“Well, maybe not,” said Alice; “don’t be angry about it. But I would like you to see our cat Dinah. I think you would start liking cats if you could see her. She is such a nice quiet thing.”

“No! Our family always HATED cats: bad animals! I don’t want to hear this name again!” the Mouse was trembling down to the end of its tail³.

“I am sorry!” said Alice in a great hurry to change thesubject of conversation. Are you… are you fond… of… of dogs?” The Mouse didn’t answer so Alice continued speaking about dogs. But the Mouse was swimming away from her.

“Mouse dear! Come back again and we won’t talk about cats or dogs if you don’t like them!” Alice calledsoftly. When the Mouse heard this it turned round and swam slowly back to her. “Let us get to the shore and I’ll tell you my story and you’ll understand why I hate cats and dogs,” it said.

It was time to go because more and more animals were swimming in the pool: there were a Duck and a Dodo, a Lory and an Eaglet and several other creatures. Alice swam to the shore and everybody swam after her.

Chapter 3
A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale

The group looked very strange: the birds and the animals were all wet, angry and unhappy. The first question of course was how to get dry again: theydiscussed it and the Mouse said: “Sit down, all of you, and listen to me! I’ll soon make you dry!” They all sat down, in a large ring with the Mouse in the middle.

“Are you all ready?” asked the mouse with animportant look, “This is the driest thing I know. Silence, please!” and the Mouse began speaking about the history of England. After some time it asked turning to Alice: “How are you now, my dear?”

“As wet as ever,” answered Alice sadly.

“In thatcase,” said the Dodo, rising to its feet, “the best thing to get dry would be a Caucus-race.” “And the best way to explain it is to do it”. It added. First it marked out a race-course in a circle and then all the company stood along the course. And they began running when they liked and stopped when they liked so it was not easy to know when the race was over. But after half an hour of running the Dodo suddenly cried: “The race is over!” and they all stopped and asked: “But who wins?”

The Dodo couldn’t answer this question so it sat for a long time thinking while they waited in silence. At last the Dodo said: “EVERYBODY wins, and all must have prizes.”

“But who will give us the prizes?” The voices asked.

“Well, SHE, of course,” said the Dodo,pointing at Alice with one finger; and everybody cried: “Prizes! Prizes!”

Alice had no idea what to do, and indespair she put her hand into her pocket, and took out a box of comfits, (the salt water did not get into it), and gave them to everybody as prizes.

“But she must have a prize herself,” said the Mouse.

“Of course,” the Dodo answered seriously. “What else have you got in your pocket?” he asked, turning to Alice.

“only athimble”, said Alice sadly.

“Give it to me,” it said.

Then they all crowded round her again, while the Dodo gave Alice the thimble, saying “We ask you to get this elegant thimble”.

Alice thought this was very strange, but they all looked so serious that she couldn’t laugh; and shebowed, and took the thimble.

After they ate the comfits they sat down again in a circle and asked the Mouse to tell them something more.

“Youpromised to tell me your story,” said Alice, “and why you hate – C and D,” she added in a whisper.

“My tale is long and sad!” said the Mouse.

“It IS a long tail of course!” said Alice looking down at the Mouse’s tail. “But why do you call it sad?” And she continued thinking about it while the Mouse was speaking.

“You are not listening!” cried the Mouse to Alice angrily. “What are you thinking of?”

“I am sorry,” said Alice very politely: “you came to the fifthpoint, I think?”

“I had NOT!” cried the Mouse very angrily. “Aknot!” said Alice looking around. “Oh, let me help you to undo it”

The Mouse stood up and said walking away. “Youinsult me by talking such nonsense!”

“I didn’t want to do it!” cried poor Alice. “But you’re so easilyoffended!”

The Mouse didn’t answer.

“Please come back and finish your story!” Alice called after it; and all the others repeated, “Yes, please do!” but the Mouse went away.

“What a pity our Dinah is not here!” Alice said aloud. “She would soon bring it here!”

“And who is Dinah?” asked the Lory.

Alice was always ready to talk about her pet: “Dinah”s our cat. And she’s so good at catching mice! And oh, the birds! Well, she’ll eat a little bird as soon as it looks at it!”

After Alice’s speech all the company ran away on differentpretexts and Alice was soon alone.

“I am sorry I spoke about Dinah! “She said to herself sadly. “It seems nobody likes her here, and I’m sure she’s the best cat in the world! Oh, my dear Dinah! I don’t know if I will ever see you again!” And here poor Alice began to cry again because she felt very lonely and sad. But a little later she again heardfootsteps in the distance. She looked up hoping that the Mouse was coming back to finish its story.
