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 conversations?” 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 daisychain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her. 14pt/16pt
“You´re mad. bonkers. completely off your head. But I`ll tell you a secret. All the best people are.” “But I don’t want to go among mad people,“ Alice remarked."Oh, you can’t help that,“ said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.“ "How do you know I’m mad?“ said Alice."You must be,“ said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

CHAPTER II. THE POOL OF TEARS. “Curiouserand curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English); “now I am opening out like the largest telescope that ever was! Goodbye, feet!” (for when she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight, they were getting so far off) “Oh, my poor little feet, I wonder who will put on your shoes and stockings for you now, dears? I am sure I shant be able! I shall be a great deal too far off to trouble myself about you: you must manage the best way you can; but I must be kind to them,” thought Alice, “or 11pt/15pt
perhaps they wont walk the way I want to go! Let me see: I give them a new pair of boots every Christmas.” And she went on planning to herself how she would manage it. “They must go by the carrier, ”she thought;“ and how funny it will seem, sending presents to ones own feet! And how odd the directions will look! Oh dear, what nonsense I am talking!” Just at this moment her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was now rather more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key and hurried off to the garden door.
