...Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much
|
|
larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the
|
|
loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall,
|
|
and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains,
|
|
but she could not even get her head through the doorway; "and even if my head
|
|
_would_ go through," thought poor Alice, "it would be of very little use
|
|
without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I
|
|
think I could, if I only knew how to begin." For, you see, so many out-of-
|
|
the-way things had happened lately that Alice had begun to think that very
|
|
few things indeed were really impossible.
|
|
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back
|
|
to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a
|
|
book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a
|
|
little bottle on it ("which certainly was not here before," said Alice), and
|
|
tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words "DRINK ME"
|
|
beautifully printed on it in large letters.
|
|
It was all very well to say "Drink me," but the wise little Alice was not
|
|
going to do _that_ in a hurry. "No, I'll look first," she said, "and see
|
|
whether it's marked 'poison' or not"; for she had read several nice little
|
|
stories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and
|
|
other unpleasant things, all because they _would_ not remember the simple
|
|
rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn
|
|
you if you hold it too long; and that, if you cut your finger _very_ deeply
|
|
with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you
|
|
drink much from a bottle marked "poison", it is almost certain to disagree
|
|
with you, sooner or later.
|
|
However, this bottle was _not_ marked "poison," so Alice ventured to
|
|
taste it, and finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavor
|
|
of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered
|
|
toast), she very soon finished it off.
