Alice in Wonderland (7)

(3) THE POOL OF TEARS

Poor Alice !

She had no sooner finished the cake than she found herself shooting upward until her head struck against the roof.

Her feet were so far away that she wondered how she would get her shoes and stocking off and on.

Alice was more than nine feet tall !

Alice picked up the little gold key and hurried off to the garden door.

But poor Alice could only look into the garden with one eye, by lying down on the floor.

She sat down and began to cry again.

" What a great baby you are ! " she scolded herself, but she could not stop crying.

Soon there was a large pool of tears around her, reaching halfway down the hall.

After a while, pattering of feet in the distance.

Alice dried her eyes and saw the White Rabbit coming back.

He was carrying a fan and a pair of white gloves and  muttering.

" Oh, the Duchess ! Oh, the Duchess ! Won't she be cross if i've kept her waiting ! "

" Please sir, could you help me ?"asked Alice timidly.
