Alice’s adventures in wonderland
Alice opened the door and found that it led into the loveliest garden she ever saw. How she longed to get out of that hall, and wander about among tho bright flowers, but she could not even get her head through the doorway. “oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope!” thought Alice. “I think I could, if I only know to begin.” For so many extraordinary things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
There emed to be no u in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes. This time she found a little bottle with the words “DRINK ME” printed on it.
Alice tasted it, and finding it very nice, she very soon finished it off.
“what a curious feeling!” said Alice. “I must be shutting up like a telescope.”

And so she was: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden.
But when she got to the door, she found she had forgotten the little golden key, and when she went back to the table for it, she found she could not possibly reach it. She tried her best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery. When she had tired herlf out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.

Once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herlf in a game of croquet she was playing against herlf, for she often pretended to be two people. “But it’s no u now,” thought poor Alice, “to pretend to be two people! Why, there’s hardly enough of me left to make ONE person!”
Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table. She opened it , and found in it a very small cake, on which the words “EAT ME” were marked in currants. “well, I’ll eat it,” said Alice,” and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I’ll get into the garden!”
face offShe ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herlf, “which way? Which way?”, holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing, and she was quite surprid to find that she remained the same size. True, this generally happens when one eats cake, but Alice had got so ud to expecting unusual things to happen, that it emed quite dull and stupid for life to go on as normal.
doteSo she t to work, and very soon finished off the cake.
