The riverbank was hot and sleepy. Alice yawned at her sister’s book. Not one picture in it! Then a White Rabbit in a waistcoat dashed past, peering at his pocket watch. “Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!”
Alice chased him into a rabbit hole. Down, down, down she drifted, slow as a feather, past shelf after shelf. “ORANGE MARMALADE!” she read, grabbing a jar. Empty! “I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth!”
Thump! Alice sat up in a pile of leaves. Every door in the hall was locked. But a golden key from the glass table fit one teeny door. Alice knelt and peeped. Flowers! Fountains! If only she were small enough!
