Kako je Alica zrasla
In tako se je Alice, potem ko je padla v zajčjo luknjo in pretekla dolgo, dolgo pot pod zemljo, nenadoma znašla v veliki dvorani, vse naokrog pa so bila vrata.
Toda vsa vrata so bila zaklenjena: uboga Alice torej ni mogla iz dvorane, in zato je bila zelo žalostna. Čez nekaj časa pa je prišla do mizice, ki je bila vsa iz stekla in je imela tri noge (Na sliki sta vidni dve nogi in čisto majhen del tretje, vidiš?), na mizici pa je ležal ključek: z njim je šla po dvorani in poskušala odkleniti katera od vrat.
Uboga Alice! Ključek ni odklenil nobenih vrat. Nazadnje pa je naletela na drobcena vratca: in oh, kako vesela je bila, ko je ugotovila, da ključek sodi vanje!
Odklenila je torej drobcena vratca, se sklonila in pogledala skoznje. In kaj misliš, da je zagledala? Oh, kako čudovit vrt! In kako zelo si je želela priti vanj! Toda vratca so bila veliko premajhna. Skoznje se ni mogla stlačiti nič bolj, kot bi se ti lahko stlačil v mišjo luknjo!
Uboga mala Alice je zato vratca zaklenila in odnesla ključek nazaj na mizico: tokrat pa je na njej našla nekaj čisto novega (zdaj si še enkrat oglej sliko). In kaj misliš, da je bilo? Steklenička, na katero je bila privezana etiketa, na njej pa je pisalo »POPIJ ME«.
Poskusila je vsebino: in bila je zelo okusna: zato se je kar lotila pitja in vse popila. Potem pa se ji je zgodilo nekaj tako nenavadnega! Nikoli ne boš uganil, kaj: zato ti bom morala povedati. Postajala je manjša in manjša, dokler ni bila nazadnje velika le še toliko kot majhna punčka za igranje!
Potem si je rekla: »Zdaj sem ravno prav velika, da pridem skozi vratca!« In že je stekla tja. Toda ko je prispela, so bila vratca zaklenjena, ključek pa je ležal na mizici in ni ga mogla doseči! Ali ni bila škoda, da je vratca spet zaklenila?
No, naslednje, kar je našla, je bil kolaček: na njem pa je pisalo »POJEJ ME«. Zato se ga je seveda kar lotila in ga vsega pojedla. In kaj misliš, da se ji je potem zgodilo? Ne, nikoli ne boš uganil! Spet ti bom morala povedati.
Rasla je in rasla in rasla. Višja je bila kot prej! Višja od vsakega otroka! Višja od vsakega odraslega! Višja in višja in višja! Samo poglej sliko, pa boš videl, kako visoka je postala!
Kaj misliš, kaj bi ti bilo bolj všeč: biti drobcena Alice, nič večja od mucka, ali pa velikanska Alice, ki z glavo kar naprej udarja ob strop?

And so, after Alice had tumbled down the rabbit-hole, and had run a long long way underground, all of a sudden she found herself in a great hall, with doors all round it.
But all the doors were locked: so, you see, poor Alice couldn’t get out of the hall: and that made her very sad.
However, after a little while, she came to a little table, all made of glass, with three legs (There are two of the legs in the picture, and just the beginning of the other leg, do you see?), and on the table was a little key: and she went round the hall, and tried if she could unlock any of the doors with it.
Poor Alice! The key wouldn’t unlock any of the doors. But at last she came upon a tiny little door: and oh, how glad she was, when she found the key would fit it!
So she unlocked the tiny little door, and she stooped down and looked through it, and what do you think she saw? Oh, such a beautiful garden! And she did so long to go into it! But the door was far too small. She couldn’t squeeze herself through, any more than you could squeeze yourself into a mouse-hole!
So poor little Alice locked up the door, and took the key back to the table again: and this time she found quite a new thing on it (now look at the picture again), and what do you think it was? It was a little bottle, with a label tied to it, with the words “DRINK ME” on the label.
So she tasted it: and it was very nice: so she set to work, and drank it up. And then such a curious thing happened to her! You’ll never guess what it was: so I shall have to tell you. She got smaller, and smaller, till at last she was just the size of a little doll!
Then she said to herself “Now I’m the right size to get through the little door!” And away she ran. But, when she got there, the door was locked, and the key was on the top of the table, and she couldn’t reach it! Wasn’t it a pity she had locked up the door again?
Well, the next thing she found was a little cake: and it had the words “EAT ME” marked on it. So of course she set to work and ate it up. And then what do you think happened to her? No, you’ll never guess! I shall have to tell you again.
She grew, and she grew, and she grew. Taller than she was before! Taller than any child! Taller than any grown-up person! Taller, and taller, and taller! Just look at the picture, and you’ll see how tall she got!
Which would you have liked the best, do you think, to be a little tiny Alice, no larger than a kitten, or a great tall Alice, with your head always knocking against the ceiling?
