Chapter 2

The Little Door

Alice is in a big room. “Where is the rabbit?” she says. Then she hears the rabbit again.

Tap… Tap… Tap…

Alice smiles. She walks to the sound. Then she stops. She cannot see the rabbit.

There are many doors in the room. She walks to one door. She tries to open it. It does not open. She walks to another door. It does not open. She walks to another door. It does not open. Alice tries every door. Every door is closed.

“There are many doors,” Alice says. “Maybe there is one more door.”

Alice looks around. Then she sees a little glass table. “What is this?” she says. “This is a little table.” There is one thing on the table. It is a little key. Alice takes the key. “This key is for a little door,” she says.

Every door is closed

She walks to this door. The key does not open this door. She tries another door. Again, the key does not open the door. Alice looks around again. Then she sees a little curtain by the wall. “What is that?” she says. She opens the curtain. “There is a little door here!” Alice smiles. “This is the right door.”

She puts the key into the lock. The door opens. Alice looks. There is a beautiful garden there. There are green trees. There are beautiful flowers. There are little birds. The sun is warm.

“I want to go there,” Alice says.

She tries to go through the little door. But she cannot. She is too big.

“This door is too small,” she says. “Those trees are beautiful. Those flowers are beautiful. I want to go there.”

Alice sits on the floor. She looks at the garden again. Then she closes the little door and walks back to the table.

There is a beautiful garden there

Now there is a bottle on the table. “A moment ago there was only a key,” Alice says. “Now there is a bottle.” She takes the bottle. There are two words on the bottle:

“DRINK ME”

The bottle

Alice smiles. “The bottle says, ‘Drink!’” She drinks a little. She waits. Nothing happens. She drinks again. The drink is sweet. Alice likes the drink. She drinks again. Soon the bottle is empty. She puts the bottle on the table.

Then Alice looks at the table. “The table is very big.” She looks at her hands. “These hands are very small.” She looks at her shoes. “These shoes are very big.” Alice laughs.

“It is not the table,” she says. “It is me. I am very small now. Now I can go there!”

Alice runs to the little door. Then she stops. “Oh no!” The key is on the table. “It is there. I am here. I cannot take the key.” She tries to take it. She jumps. She tries again. But she cannot take the key.

Then Alice sees a little box. “What is this?” she says. She opens the box. There is a little cake. There are two words on the cake:

“EAT ME”

Alice smiles.

“The cake says, ‘Eat!’” she says. Then she looks at the cake again.

“What is next?” she says.

Alice is too small to take the key

Chapter 3

The Pool of Tears

Alice looks at the little cake. She smiles.

“The cake says, ‘Eat!’” she says. “The bottle says, ‘Drink!’ The bottle helps me. Maybe the cake can help me too.”

She eats a very little piece of the cake. Then she waits. Nothing happens. Alice looks at her hands. Then she looks at her feet.

“Oh!” she says. “These hands are big. These feet are big too!”

Alice is growing. She is growing very fast. The little door is becoming smaller. The glass table is becoming smaller too. Soon Alice is very big again. She laughs, but then she looks at the little door.

Alice takes the little key easily. She walks to the little door and opens it. The beautiful garden is still there. The green trees are moving in the wind. The flowers are beautiful. The little birds are singing. Alice smiles because the garden is so near.

Alice is too big for the little door

“I can see the garden,” she says. “Now I can go there.”

She puts one foot near the little door. Then she stops. She tries again. She cannot go through the door. Her head is too big. Her shoulders are too big. Her feet are too big. Alice looks into the garden again. She can see the flowers. She can see the trees. She can see the little path.

“I am here,” she says. “The garden is there. I have the key. The door is open. But I cannot go into the garden.”
