The path led Alice into a woods. Alice noticed that there was a door in one of the trees. She pushed it and it opened. Alice walked inside. The door in the tree led into a beautiful garden, full of bright flowers. Near the door there was a large rose tree. The roses on the tree were white, but three gardens were busily painting them red. How very curious thought Alice. She went nearer in order to watch them. The gardeners didn’t look much like real gardeners. In fact, they didn’t look much like men at all. They looked like playing cards, except that they had proper heads, arms, and legs. The gardeners seemed to be angry. They were shouting at each other, but when they saw Alice, they dropped their brushes in surprise. Why are you paining those roses? Asked Alice. Well, Miss, began one of the gardeners, this rose tree ought to be a red rose tree But we planted a white one by mistake. If the Queen sees the white roses, she’ll cut off our heads. So we're painting them quickly before. Before he could finish what he was saying one of the other gardeners shouted, The Queen The Queen and the three gardeners threw themselves down on the ground. Alice looked around. She wanted to see the Queen. First came ten soldiers. Ten courters in very fine clothes followed them. Just like the gardeners, they were the shape of playing cards.
