Chapter 6 Distress at the Rabbit's House
It turned out that the little white rabbit had come running slowly again, and as he ran, he looked around, as if he was looking for something, and whispered, "Oh, dear servants!"Oh, my fur and beards!Oh, Duchess!Will she punish me, will she put me in jail?Why can't I find it?Where are you?”
Alice looked at it in amazement, and guessed that it must be looking for its pair of lambskin gloves and fans. Alice had nothing to do, so she helped to find it, but there was not even a trace of gloves or a fan—the place seemed to have changed completely since she had come up from the pond of tears: the hall, the glass table, and the little door were all gone.
While Alice was wondering, the rabbit saw her and angrily shouted at her, "Hey, Mary Ann, what are you doing here?"If you don't go home yet, get me a pair of gloves and a fan!Hurry up, don't be lazy!”
Alice was stunned, and hurried in the direction it was pointing, not bothering to explain to it that she had mistaken someone.
It must have taken me for its maid, and how strange it would have been if he had known the truth!Alice laughed out loud as she imagined the white rabbit's surprise.
Alice, however, was happy to run errands for him, and as she ran, she said to herself, "Fan and gloves, will I find them?"Hopefully I'll find them. It was all because of me just now that the white rabbit was so frightened that he lost his gloves and fan. Soon, she ran to a small house, neat and beautiful, with a bronze sign on the door that read "Mr. White Rabbit".
She went upstairs without knocking, for she was afraid that she would run into the real Mary Ann.
How ridiculous," Alice said to herself, "and in the blink of an eye she became a servant of the rabbit!".I'm not going to be Dinah's servant, am I?”
As she spoke, she walked into a very tidy little room, with a pair of gloves and a fan on the table in front of the window, as she imagined. She picked up her gloves and fan and was about to leave, when she suddenly noticed a small bottle next to the mirror. She picked up the vial and looked at it, but nothing was written on it.
This time, even though there was no word 'drink me', I was going to drink it too. Alice said as she uncorked the bottle and took a small sip.
I knew something funny was going to happen," she said to herself, "because it's going to happen every time I eat or drink something, but I hope this time it makes me bigger, because I kind of hate being so small." ”
The contents of the vial were indeed like this, and as soon as she was halfway drunk, her body began to grow larger, and much faster than she had imagined. After a while, her head touched the ceiling, and she had to bend down to prevent her neck from being crushed.
She hurriedly threw down the bottle and shouted, "Enough, enough, don't grow any longer, oh my God, I can't get out!".”
But it was too late, and she continued to grow, and she knelt on the floor, but soon she couldn't, and she had to lie down, with one elbow against the door, and the other in her head, and at last she had no choice but to put that arm out of the window and kick one foot into the chimney.
She said sadly, "I've become ugly." "It's worth celebrating that the change has finally stopped. But she could only lie on the ground, unable to move.
At this time, she remembered the benefits of her home, "How good it is to be at home, it will not get bigger or smaller, it will not be angry with rats, and it will not be a servant of a rabbit, and it really shouldn't fall into the rabbit hole." - But it's also a lot of fun, everything is something you haven't played before, it's like a fairy tale. I'm like a person out of a fairy tale. There should really be a book written about me, yes, I write it myself, and when I grow up, will I have grown up now?Yes, now, I'm too big. Alice was sad again.
That's fine, at least I'm not getting older, so I don't become an old woman. But, in this way, you have to study Xi homework every day, which, alas, I don't like. ”
But she thought about it: "How can I study my homework now?"There is not even a place to put textbooks. She was happy again.
She was talking to herself, and after a while, she suddenly heard a voice outside.
Mary Ann!Mary Ann!Someone outside shouted anxiously, "Bring my gloves and fan." Then there was the sound of clackling footsteps on the stairs. Alice knew that it was the White Rabbit coming, and she trembled with fear, and the house shook with it, but she was relieved when she found that she was much older than the White Rabbit.
The rabbit came to the door and pushed it in, but the door was pressed hard by Alice's arm, how could it be pushed open?
I can't get in through the door, so I'll go through the window. White Rabbit said.
I can't get through the window. Alice heard the white rabbit's voice and grabbed a handful in the air as she spoke. Even though she didn't catch anything, she heard the screams of the white rabbit, the sound of something falling, and the sound of glass breaking, and she thought that the rabbit might have fallen somewhere.
After a moment of calm, Alice heard the rabbit lose his temper and shout, "Pat!."Pat!What are you doing?Come here!Then an unfamiliar voice timidly replied, "Oh, sir, I am digging apple trees." What's the matter?”
Dig some apple tree, come over here, pull me up. ”
After a small commotion, another voice came.
Tell me, Pat, what's in that window?”
It looks like an arm, sir!”
Arms?You big idiot, do you have such big arms in the world?Stuffed the whole window. ”
It's stuffed, sir, but it's an arm. ”
(Tips: The full text ** can be read by clicking on the card at the end of the article).
Well, whatever it is, it shouldn't stay here and throw it somewhere else. You know, this is my house, and it doesn't have the right to stay here. ”
After a long silence, Alice heard a timid voice: "Master, I don't like it, really, I hate it!".”
Coward, do as I say!”
Alice didn't know what they were going to do, and she was afraid they would hurt herself. So he grabbed another handful in the air. This time there were two thin screams and the sound of glass breaking.
What do they want to do?Probably trying to pull me out of the window, I really hope they succeed. Alice thought.
She waited for a long time, and suddenly from outside came the sound of wheels rolling and the noise of many people. Somebody in the middle of this said, "Bring those ladders over - ah, give me one - that one for Bill - Bill, come here, take that ladder - yes, put it in this corner - oh, no, tie them together first—yes, that's it, so it's high enough." - Oh, Bill!Hold on to this rope – will the roof hold up?- Watch out for that tile, get out of the way!- Ah, it fell. (a loud breaking sound) - who went down the chimney - no, I won't go!There you go!- I'm not going to go - yes, let Bill go down - Hey, Bill, the lord let you go down!Yes, down the chimney!”
It seems that this Bill's name is coming down the chimney," Alice thought, "what is this Bill?"I've got to kick it, and I can't let it get my way. ”
Alice shrank the foot into the chimney so hard that when she felt a small animal scratching and scratching at her foot, she kicked it up so hard that she listened carefully to the movement outside.
She heard everyone shout in unison, "Look, in the air, Bill is flying out!".”
At this time, the rabbit also said anxiously: "Quick, by the fence, catch it, hurry!".Alas - no problem, right?Hurry up and carry it over here. ”
Everyone calmed down for a moment, then shouted again, "Raise its head first,—— brandy, and quickly—don't choke him—how about it?."Is it better?Tell me, old man, what did you encounter?”
After a while, a low voice was heard, "It could be Bill." Alice thought. "Oh, I don't know,—— thank you, I'm better,—— I'm so scared, I can't tell, I just know that there's something like a spring in the chimney that pops me out and catapults me into the air. Bill said.
You're like a cannon, old man. One man laughed, and many others laughed along.
Looks like we're going to have to burn the house down!The rabbit said.
Alice heard this and shouted, "Don't burn the house, or I'll let Dinah bite you!."”
Suddenly, there was silence outside, "What are they going to do?"They just took the roof apart. Alice thought.
After a few minutes, Alice heard the rabbit say, "Let's get a cart first, I think it's about the same." ”
A car of what?Alice whispered.
It didn't take long for her to understand, because there were so many small pebbles flying through the window, some hitting the window, some hitting her.
Alice shouted, "Stop!".Sure enough, everyone stopped.
But to Alice's surprise, the pebbles turned into small cakes, and Alice thought to herself, "What would happen if I ate it?"Will it make me bigger?Or do you want to get smaller?Now that I'm old enough, maybe it will make me smaller. ”
She picked up a small piece of cake and swallowed it, and she was so happy that she had really shrunk it. She ate a few more pieces, and when she was small enough to get out of the door, she ran out of the house, and she saw a number of small beasts and birds outside, and the little gecko, Bill, among them, with two guinea pigs holding it and pouring something into its mouth with bottles. When they saw Alice, they rushed at her. Alice was so frightened that she ran desperately towards the woods.
She stopped when she was sure it was safe. Then she said to herself, "I have to make a good plan, first, I want to change back to my normal size;Second, I'm going to the little garden. ”
It was a good plan, one by one, at a glance, but she didn't know how to make it happen. As she nervously peered through the woods, a dog's whimper sounded above her head. She looked up.
A huge horn dog was glaring at her with its eyes and reaching out a paw to touch her. "Oh, cute puppy!Alice coaxed it gently, pretending to be relaxed and pouting and whistling a few times, but she was actually very scared in her heart, and now if the dog was hungry, it would definitely eat her.
In a hurry, she picked up a small branch from her side and threw it in front of the dog, and immediately, the little dog jumped up with joy and rushed to the branch at once. It thought it was something delicious and licked it with its tongue.
Alice took the opportunity to hide behind a tree, and she was afraid of being discovered by the dog, so she ran to the other side, and then quietly showed her head, and saw the dog rush to the branch again, because it was running too fast, and it turned over a big heel. Alice, fearing that she would be trampled under the feet of the dog, stepped back and hid under a large bush. The puppy kept rushing at the branches, then back again, whining, and at last he sat down, sticking out his tongue and panting, and in a moment his large, godless eyes were half-closed.
Alice found an opportunity to escape, she cautiously walked far away from the dog, and then ran as hard as she could, until she was too tired to run.
What a cute puppy it is!Alice leaned against a flower and fanned the wind with her leaves.
If I were my normal size, I would definitely play with it, and it's prettier and cuter than any dog I've ever seen. Oh my!I almost forgot that I'm now, I'm so small, I have to think about it to grow. Let me think about it - how do I do it?I think I should drink or eat something, but drink or eat something?”
Alice said as she looked around, hoping to find something to eat, but there was nothing but flowers and trees, and there was nowhere to find food. Suddenly, she saw a large mushroom beside her, which was about as tall as her, and she looked underneath it, to the left, to the right, and then to tiptoe up and look up, and saw a large blue caterpillar, which was sitting on top of the mushroom, holding its arms, and raising its head, and was leisurely smoking a long hookah, and did not notice Alice's arrival.
