Prevod
Ojej, ojej! Za kaj sploh gre? In kaj se dogaja z Alico? No, vse ti bom povedal, kakor najbolje znam. Sojenje se je končalo takole. Kralj je hotel, da Porota odloči, ali je Srčev fant kriv ali nedolžen — to pomeni, da bi morali odločiti, ali je on ukradel pite ali pa jih je vzel kdo drug. Toda hudobna Kraljica je hotela, da najprej določijo njegovo kazen. To pa sploh ni bilo pravično, kajne? Kajti veš, če pit sploh ni vzel, ga seveda ne bi smeli kaznovati. Bi ti bilo všeč, če bi te kaznovali za nekaj, česar nisi storil?
In Alica je rekla: »Same neumnosti!« Pa je Kraljica rekla: »Odsekajte ji glavo!« (Prav to je vedno rekla, kadar je bila jezna.) In Alica je rekla: »Kdo se pa meni za vas? Saj ste samo kup igralnih kart!«
Vsi so se silno razjezili, zleteli v zrak in se nato vsuli nazaj dol, naravnost na Alico, kakor ploha dežja. In mislim, da nikoli ne bi uganil, kaj se je zgodilo potem. Alica se je prebudila iz svojih nenavadnih sanj. In ugotovila je, da so bile karte le listi z drevesa, ki ji jih je veter nanesel na obraz.
Ali ne bi bilo lepo imeti nenavadnih sanj, prav takih kot Alica? Najbolje je narediti takole. Najprej se ulezi pod drevo in počakaj, da mimo priteče Beli Zajec z uro v roki; potem zapri oči in se pretvarjaj, da si ljubka mala Alica.
Zbogom, draga Alica, zbogom!
Izvirnik
Oh dear, oh dear! What is it all about? And what’s happening to Alice?
Well, I’ll tell you all about it, as well I can. The way the trial ended was this. The King wanted the Jury to settle whether the Knave of Hearts was guilty or not guilty----that means that they were to settle whether he had stolen the Tarts, or if somebody else had taken them. But the wicked Queen wanted to have his punishment settled, first of all. That wasn’t at all fair, was it? Because, you know, supposing he never took the Tarts, then of course he oughtn’t to be punished. Would you like to be punished for something you hadn’t done?
So Alice said “Stuff and nonsense!”
So the Queen said “Off with her head!” (Just what she always said, when she was angry.)
So Alice said “Who cares for you? You’re nothing but a pack of cards!”
So they were all very angry, and flew up into the air, and came tumbling down again, all over Alice, just like a shower of rain.
And I think you’ll never guess what happened next. The next thing was, Alice woke up out of her curious dream. And she found that the cards were only some leaves off the tree, that the wind had blown down upon her face.
Wouldn’t it be a nice thing to have a curious dream, just like Alice?
The best plan is this. First lie down under a tree, and wait till a White Rabbit runs by, with a watch in his hand: then shut your eyes, and pretend to be dear little Alice.
Good-bye, Alice dear, good-bye!
