      Synopsis

      A young girl, Alice, is sitting on the bank of a river with her sister, reading a book without pictures in it. Suddenly Alice notices a rabbit run by. She follows the rabbit down a hole. This is where her strange adventure begins ….

      This book is rewritten from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1832-1898). It is one of the most popular children’s books in the world and has been translated into about 100 languages.

      Chapter 1. Down the Rabbit Hole

      Alice had sat on the bank by her sister till she was tired. Once or twice she had looked at the book her sister held in her hand, but there were no pictures in it.

      And what is the use of a book, thought Alice, without pictures? The hot day made her quite sleepy. She wondered if she should get up and pick some flowers to make a flower chain. Just then a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

      That was nothing unusual. And Alice did not think it so strange to hear the Rabbit say, Oh dear! Oh, dear! I shall be late!

      But when the Rabbit took a watch out of its pocket, and looked at it and then ran on, Alice jumped up, for she knew it was the first time she had seen a Rabbit with a watch. She ran to get a look at it, and was just in time to see it jump down a large rabbit hole near the fence.

      As fast as she could go, Alice went down the hole after it. She did not once stop to think how in the world[1] she was to get out.

      The hole went straight on for some way and then turned down with a sharp bend. It was so sharp that Alice had no time to think to stop till she found herself falling down a deep well.

      Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for it took her a long time to go down. And as she went she had time to look at the strange things she passed. First she tried to look down and make out[2] what was there, but it was too dark to see anything. Then she looked at the sides of the well and saw that they were filled with bookshelves. Here and there she saw maps hung on hooks. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed. On it was the word Jam, but there was no jam in it, so she put it back on one of the shelves as she fell past it.

      Well, thought Alice to herself, after such a fall as this, I shall not mind falling down stairs at all. How brave they’ll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn’t say anything if I fell off the top of the house.

      Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? I should like to know, she said, how far I have come by this time. Wouldn’t it be strange if I should fall right through the earth and come out where the folks walk with their feet up and their heads down?

      Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. Dinah will miss me tonight, I think. (Dinah was the cat.) I hope they’ll remember to give her some milk at tea-time. Dinah, my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, but you might catch a bat. That’s much like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats?

      And here
