Alice in Wonderland (4)

(2) THE GOLD KEY

By the time Alice reached the corner, the White rabbit had gone.
He was no longer in sight.

She found heself in a long hall lit by lamps in the ceiling.

There wer doors all the way round, but they were all locked.

How was she going to get out this place？

She the saw a little table made of glass.

On top of it was a gold key.
But it was too small to unlock any of doors.

Then Alice noticed a low curtain.

Behind it she found a tiny door, only fifteen inches high.

To her delight the key fitted perfectly, she opened the small door.



Alice had to kneel down to look through the door.

There was a small passage, not much larger than a rat hole, that led to the loveliest garden she had ever seen.

Alice longed to be walking in it.

But she was too big to get her head through the doorway.

" Even if my head could through the door, " she told herself sadly, " my head would be little use without the rest of me. "
" I wish I could shut up like a telescope ! "
