Enjoy it! Here’s the audio story!
On a sunny day, Alice and her sister went for a walk in the fields. Her sister was reading a book, while Alice was very bored. Just as she was thinking about what to do for fun, a little white rabbit passed in front of her. The bunny was talking to itself. Alice was surprised because she had never seen a rabbit talk before. The bunny pulled out a pocket watch and said, Either no, or no, I’m going to be very late, he said in a hurry.

Alice was very impressed with what she saw and curious to see what was going on. She went after the rabbit. The rabbit entered through a hole in the trunk of a tree and Alice followed him down the same hole. Suddenly she found herself falling into a well.
The well was very deep and Alice continued to fall slowly. As she descended, the girl saw small pictures, cupboards and shelves. Alice felt as if she was spinning around the world and finally fell onto a soft surface. There was a long hallway in front of her. Alice got up and started walking. She saw many closed doors along the hallway and the rabbit disappeared. Alice feared she would not be able to get out of there.
But just then she saw beside her a small gold key on a small three-legged table. She took the key and tried to open all the locked doors, but the key was too small. Sadly, looking around, Alice saw that there was another small door behind the curtain. Putting the key in the lock, the door opened immediately. Alice was glad when the door opened. Behind the door was a very nice garden, but because she couldn’t fit through the door. Alice could not get out. When she returned to the table, inside, she saw a bottle with a label that said Drink me!
Alice took the bottle and began to drink as she drank the potion, she began to shrink.
As she got smaller, she thought she could fit through the door.
However, when she wanted to take the key she realized she was too small to reach the table. She began to cry, at which point she saw a cake on the floor. The cake had a label that said Eat me! Curious, Alice took a bite of the cake. At that moment she started to grow again.
Now she could take the key, but it was too big to get through the door. Alice was very tired, hopeless. She began to cry again. Her tears ran from her eyes and began to form a large puddle that stretched all the way down the hall.
Suddenly, the White Rabbit rushed by. Alice called out to him Sir, Sir, please wait a minute, help me. The White Rabbit ran quickly without even looking at Alice, but as he ran he dropped gloves and a fan from his hand.
Alice picked up her things from the ground and as she started to fan herself she started to shrink again and at that very moment she slipped and fell into the puddle.
Alice and a bunch of different animals swimming in the water began to move towards the shore.
When they reached the shore they were all wet and Alice saw the bunny again. This time, the Rabbit thought she was his maid and asked her to bring her gloves and hand fan from home. Alice went to the Rabbit’s house in the forest when she entered and immediately found her gloves and hand fan, but right there she saw another bottle on the table.
She took the bottle and thought. If I drink this, maybe I can get back to my normal size. She took the bottle and drank the whole potion.
But she grew so big that she couldn’t even move in the house. What am I going to do now? How am I going to get out of here?
Meanwhile, the Rabbit waited impatiently for Alice. Frightened by Alice’s size, the animals began to throw stones towards the house, breaking the windows. The stones that fell next to Alice began to turn into little cakes.
When Alice ate these cakes, she began to shrink again and managed to get out of the house. But this time, unfortunately, she became very small, poor Alice was so small that she got lost in the small bushes in the forest.
She began to think about what she could do to get back to her normal size.
At that moment she saw a little dog in the distance. When she called out to the puppy to pet it, she realized how truly small she was next to the dog. She was almost crushed by the dog’s paws.
As she was running she tripped over a mushroom. There was a blue caterpillar in the mushroom. She asked the caterpillar what she could do to return to its normal size. The caterpillar answered her very wisely. “One side of the mushroom I am on will make you grow and the other will make you shrink.” Alice took a small piece of the mushroom and put it in her mouth. Just then it had become so big that she could not even see her feet. To again it would shrink to its normal size. This time he took a piece from the other side. By eating different amounts of both sides of the mushroom, he was able to return to his normal size. He took two pieces from each side and kept them in his hand. As he walked he came across a small house, but in order to enter he had to take one more piece.
As she ate the pieces of Mushroom she began to shrink again. When she entered the house, Alice found herself in a kitchen. Right in the middle of the kitchen was a duchess standing with a baby in her arms and on the floor a fat cat was looking at Alice smiling. It was the first time Alice had ever seen a smiling cat, so she asked her curiously Why is it that her cat smiles like that? Because this is a Cheshire Cat, said the duchess.
At the same time, the cat became invisible and the baby, in the Duchess’s arms, began to cry.
The duchess passed the baby to Alice. You calm the baby and stop his crying. I’m going to go play Croquet with the queen. Alice took the baby and began to rock it. Suddenly, the Cheshire Cat appeared again smiling and spoke to Alice.
You need to find the Hatter and the March Hare, but be careful because they are both crazy, ha, ha, ha, ha. Just after he spoke, the cat disappeared again.
Alice shouted angrily at the cat, Stop disappearing and reappearing, you’re scaring me!
The cat appeared once again very smiling. Then I will slowly disappear.
Starting with its tail, the Cheshire Cat began to disappear again until only its face remained.
Alice left the house and in a short time came upon the March Hare’s house. The March Hare was having tea with the Hatter under a tree.
The March Hare put some straw between his ears.
Alice did not understand why he put straw between his ears and the Hatter had a hat on his head. The mouse next to them rested his head on the table sleeping, and they both had their arms on the mouse, using him as a pillow. When they saw Alice approaching, they turned her away, telling her there was no room at the table.
There isn’t? There’s plenty of room, said Alice.
The Hatter asked Alice why do you think the crow looks like a desk?
Alice, why do you think?
The Hatter, I don’t know.
Alice quickly tired of the Hatter and the March Hare’s silly and rude jokes. She said, this has been the silliest meeting I’ve ever been to and left.
Alice saw a door in the trunk of a tree.
When she entered she found a golden key.
The golden key. It opened the door to a beautiful garden as she entered the garden. Alice was very surprised. The Queen of Hearts gardeners were painting all the white roses red and all the men looked like playing cards. She asked.
I am curious, why are they painting all the white roses red and the gardener replied. The queen wanted red roses, but we accidentally planted white roses. If the queen found out, she would cut our heads off.
Just then, the Queen of Hearts arrived in the garden, the soldiers next to her were lined up like a card game. The Queen of Hearts invited this strange girl she was seeing for the first time to play Croquet.
Alice had never seen a Croquet field like this. The hedgehogs were balls and the flamingos were the Croquet decks.
In the course of the game, the players started fighting by throwing hedgehogs at each other. The queen was very annoyed with this situation. Suddenly she planted her foot on the ground and shouted angrily.
Cut off the heads of all fighting players.
The Queen of Hearts was so angry that she cancelled the Croquet match and suddenly a loud voice was heard. The trial has begun. Everyone began to run to the court. They were trying the Jack of Hearts who had supposedly stolen a cake from the Queen’s kitchen. The queen could not catch the jack of hearts during the incident, so she could not punish him. The Jack of Hearts was imprisoned during his trial. The White Rabbit began to read the scroll he was holding.
On a beautiful summer day, our Queen of Hearts had baked delicious cakes and the Jack of Hearts stole it.
The King shouted from his seat. Call the first witness.
The first witness was the Hatter, as the Hatter began to speak on the podium in front of the King, Alice suddenly began to grow taller.
The White Rabbit announced that it was time for Alice to pass the witness podium.
Hearing her name called, Alice immediately stood up, forgetting how big she had grown. Her dress was tangled on the jury bench and she accidentally knocked the bench over, causing all the jurors to fall to the floor.
The queen asked Alice to tell everything she knew. I don’t know anything, Alice replied. The queen shouted angrily, Don’t you know?
Cut off her head. And Alice answered bravely I don’t care about your orders, you are not my queen and you can’t do anything to me.
As soon as Alice said those words, the king, the queen and all the playing cards began to fly towards Alice. Shouting loudly, Alice tried to capture them. All the commotion turned into a huge whirlwind of cards around Alice, creating a current that sent her upward and finally with leaves flying around her. She fell into the field again.
Her sister called out to her.
Alice, it’s time to wake up. When Alice woke up, she realized it had all been a dream.
Wow it was all a dream, but what an amazing dream!
Hey sister, let me tell you about my dream, did you know there was a White Rabbit?
