Alice in Wonderland (6)

Alice in Wonderland (6)

Soon she was only ten inches high, just the right size to through the little doori nto the lovely garden.

But poor Alice !

When she got to the door, she realised that she had left the key on top of the glass table,and now she was too small to reach it.

She tried to climb up one of the table legs, but it was too slippy.
No matter how hard she tried she could not climb the table-leg to reach the goden key that lay on the glass table.

At last, tried out, she sat down and cried.

" It's no use crying, " Alice told herself sharply.
She took a deep breath.

Then she noticed a little glass box on the floor, just under the table.

Inside it was a very small cake with the wards EAT ME beautifully marked on it in currants. 



" Well, I'll eat it, " thought Alice.

" If it makes me larger, I can reach the key, and if it makes me smaller, I can creep under the door. So either way I'll get into the garden. "

She nibbled the cake, and soon she had finished it all up.
