Alice was now in a long dark
room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.
She tried to open the doors,
but they were all locked(锁上). "How
will I ever get out again?" she thought sadly. Then she saw a little glass
table with three legs, and on the top of it was a very small gold key. Alice quickly
took the key and tried it in all the doors, but she couldn't open any.
Then she saw another door,
a door that was only forty centimeters high. The little gold key unlocked this door
easily, but Alice couldn't get through it-she was
much too big. So she lay on the floor and looked through the open door, into a beautiful
garden with green trees and bright flowers.
"I'd like to be out
there-not in this dark room. Why can't I get smaller?"
It was already a very strange day, and Alice was beginning to think that anything
was possible. After a while she locked the door again, got up and went back to the
glass table. She put the key down and then she saw a little bottle on the table.
Round the neck of the bottle was a piece of paper with the words DRINK ME in large
letters.
"It can be dangerous
to drink out of strange bottles," she said. "What will it do to me?"
She drank a little bit very slowly. The taste was very nice and very soon
Alice finished the bottle.
"I think I'm getting
smaller and smaller every second." And she was. "And now, "she said
happily," I can get through the little door into that beautiful garden."
She ran at once to the door.
Then she remembered that the little gold key was back on the glass table. She ran
back to the table for it, but she was now much too small! The key was high above
her, on top of the table. She tried very hard to climb up the table leg, but she
couldn't do it.
At last, tired and unhappy,
she got angry with herself. Soon she saw a little glass box near her on the floor.
She opened it, and found a very small cake with the words EAT ME on it. Nothing
could surprise Alice now.
