Alice is sitting with her sister under the tree. Alice's sister had a book but Alice had nothing. Suddenly she sees a White Rabbit ran pass her. It is wearing a jacket and takes a watch out of it, Alice gets very curious and follows him down his rabbit-hole. she falling in the rabbit-hole suddenly she falls into it. the Rabbit is gone and Alice finds herself in a long, low hall, with doors all round it. She tries them, but they are all locked. Then she comes upon a little three-legged table on which a little golden key lies. The key fits in a little door behind a curtain and when she opens it she sees that it leads into a small passage. Alice sees a beautiful garden. She really wants to get into the garden, but she is too big to fit through the door.
When she goes back to the table she finds a little bottle on it with the words ‘Drink me’ printed on the label.
Alice drinks from it and starts shrinking until she is only ten inches high.
She starts crying, but soon sees a little glass box lying under the table containing a small cake marked with the words ‘Eat me’. Hoping that this cake will make her grow or shrink too, she eats it.
