## Down the rabbit-hole

### Scene 1 - Under the trees
She was sitting under the trees with her sister, who was reading a book without any pictures or conversations in it.
- Get bored - _what is the use of a book, thought Alice, without pictures or conversations?_
- It was a hot day, and she felt **very sleepy and stupid**.
- Suddenly, a **White Rabbit** with **pink eyes** ran past her.
  - _said, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!'_
  - took a watch out of its pocket, looked and hurried on. 

At Once, she jumped to her feet. 

### Scene 2 - Chasing the Rabbit
_I've never before seen a rabbit with either a pocket, or a watch to take out of it._

She ran across the field after it, followed it **immediately** when the Rabbit ran down a large rabbit-hole.

### Scene 3 - Falling through the rabbit-hole
It was a very strange hole. She was falling **very slowly**, and she had time to think and to look around her.

- Below - She could see nothing because it was so dark.
- The sides of the hole 
  - She could see **cupboards and books and pictures on the walls**. 
  - She had time to take things out of a cupboard, look at them, and then put them back in a cupboard lower down.

_'Well!' thought Alice. 'After a fall like this, I can fall anywhere! I can fall downstairs at home, and I won't cry or say a word about it!'_

**_Down, down, down_**

_“How far have I fallen now?’ Alice said aloud to herself. ‘Perhaps I’m near the centre of the earth. Let me think … That’s four thousand miles down.’ (Alice was very good at her school lessons and could remember a lot of things like this.)”_

**_Down, down, down_**

Would she ever stop falling? Alice was **very nearly asleep** when, suddenly, she was sitting on the ground.

### Scene 4 - Chasing the Rabbit, II
She jumped to her feet and looked around. She could see the White Rabbit, who was hurrying away and still talking to himself.

_'Oh my ears and whiskers!' he was saying. 'How late it's getting!'_

Alice ran after him like the wind. She was getting very near him when he suddenly **turned a corner**. Alice ran round the corner too, and then stopped.

### Scene 5 - The locked room
She was now in a long, dark room with doors all round the walls, and she could not see the White Rabbit anywhere.
