Alice’s Magical World愛麗絲的奇幻世界

王文靜

We all dream. Some dreams are happy. Some dreams are sad. Alice has an interesting dream. She is the little girl from Alices Adventures in Wonderland（《愛麗絲夢(mèng)游仙境》）. In her dream，she falls down a rabbit hole（洞）. Then she goes into a magical（奇妙的） world.

Mr. Rabbit is a white rabbit. He always wears a pocket watch（懷表）. He can speak. In fact（事實(shí)上），many animals in this world can speak.

Food is strange here. When Alice drinks from a bottle，she becomes very short. When she eats some cake，she grows taller than a house.

The game of croquet（槌球） is different here. The mallets（球棍） are flamingoes（火烈鳥）. The balls are hedgehogs（刺猬）.

Poker cards are alive（活的） in this world. They can talk and walk. The Red Heart is the queen. The other cards work for her.

This is the Cheshire cat. He can fly. He appears（出現(xiàn)） and disappears（消失） at any time. He likes grinning（咧嘴笑）.

Lewis Carroll（1832-1898） wrote Alices Adventures in Wonderland in 1865. He was a British writer. He is the father of modern fairy tales（現(xiàn)代童話）.

Lewis Carroll made up the story from the real “Alice”——Alice Liddell. She was the daughter of Carrolls friend，Henry Liddell.
