CHAPTER I. Down the Rabbit-Hole

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having

nothing

to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had

no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without

pictures or conversation?'

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her

feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth

the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink

eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much

out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she

thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at

the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT

OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her

feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a

waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the

field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under

the hedge.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the

world

she was to get out again.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly

down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she

found herself falling down a very deep well.

Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she

went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried

to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything;

then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards

and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took

down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled 'ORANGE

MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the

jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell

past it.

'Well!' thought Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing
