Alice in Wonderland (8)

Alice in Wonderland (8)

But when he saw her, the White Rabbit dropped his fan and gloves and scurried off as quickly as he could.



Alice picked up the things he had dropped.

It was very hot, so she began to fan herself.
She felt very strange.

" I'm not at all my usual self ! I don't feel ME anymore " she thought,

" Perhaps I've changed into somebody else ! I'll see if I still know the things I learned at school:
four times five is twelve, and five times six is thirteen...London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome...That's can't be right ! she sobbed.

" I must be somebody else ! "

Then she noticed that she had managed to put on one of White Rabbit's gloves.

" I'm small again ! " she cried, and ran off to the garden door.

But now it was shut, and the gold key was back on the glass table.

" Now things are worse than ever ! she thought.

Her foot slipped, and splash !
She was up to her chin in salt water, in the pool of tears.
