Alice in Wonderland

1.������ The rabbit-hole was like a tunnel in the beginning and then became very narrow and went suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice did not have a moment to think about stopping herself before she started falling down a very deep well. Either the well was very deep, or she was falling very slowly because she had a lot of time of time as she went down, to look around her and to wonder what was going to happen next.

2.������ First, she tried to look down to see what everything looked like, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well. She saw that they had a lot of opened lockers and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures on the walls of the well. She took a cup from one of lockers as she passed; it was written `ORANGE JAM', but it was empty. She did not want to throw the cup, as she was afraid of killing somebody, so she looked for an open space and she put it back in another locker as she went down past it.�

3.������ Then she got bored as there was nothing else to do, so Alice started thinking of her cat, her sister, her life, her house� �I wonder how many kilometres are between me and my sister now� she was thinking . Alice was a very good student and she knew a lot of things from her lessons in the classroom. For the rest of the way she thought only of her sister and her family, how worried they should be now!

4.������ She felt that she was very sleepy, and she started to dream that she was walking hand in hand with her sister and her cat, when suddenly, thump! thump! She woke up: she was sitting on sand and dry leaves, and the fall was finished.
