ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN THE WONDERLAND (chapter 3)

Chapter 2: A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale

There were having party quite somewhat strength in the bank of refer. the birds with dragged feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable.

The first question was, "how to dry again?". they had discussion about this so Alice seemed quite close with them naturally. At last the mouse, called up "seat down all of you and listen to me! i will soon make you all dry enough!".  They all sat down at once around the big ring. The mouse was standing in the middle of them. Alice kept her eyes anxiously fixed on it. She was very sure that she would catch a bad cold if she did not get a dry soon.

"Hem! are all you ready? this is the direst thing i know" the mouse said. The first marked out the race-course a short of circle. the party would begin in the circle. they run There ‘One, two, three, and away,’ running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, they had been running a half of hour and quite dry again. Dodo suddenly called ' the race was over" and they all crowd around it, painting and asking. but who was won?

Dodo's question could not answer without a great tough. It sat for a long time with one finger up its forehead. While the rest waited in silence. At last Dodo said, "everyone has won, and all must have prizes". "But, who wants to give the prizes?". a quite chorus of voice asked.

Dodo was pointing to Alice with one finger. The whole party suddenly got crowd around her. Alice had no idea what to do. and in despair she put her hands on her pocket, and pulled out a box of comfits. 'Only a thimble', Alice said sadly. ' Hand it over here!'. Said Dodo. Then all made crowd around her once more., while the Dodo solemnly presented the thimble, saying ' We beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble. When it had finished this short speech, they all cheered. 

Then they all crowded around Alice once more, while Dodo solemnly presented the thimble and said ' we please you accept this various thimble. When the short speech is done, they all were cheering. Alice little bit felt absurd, but they all are looking so grave so that she was afraid to smile and she had nothing to think. She simply bowed and she took the thimble as serious as she might. 

The next thing is eating the comfits. This thing made some noises and confusion finally ended. Then all of them sat on the big ring and begged the mouse to tell something more. ' you had appointment to tell your story tho'. Alice said. the mouse told his story about why it is afraid of dog and cat. Then Alice told about her cat "Dinah", while Alice told about Dina's behavior. it made one after one leaving Alice going alone because some animals were offered by Alice 's story about Alice pet's "Dinah".

'I wish i had not mentioned Dinah!' she said to herself in melancholy tone. ' Nobody seems to like her,' down here. 'I am sure that Dinah is the best can in the world! Oh, my dear Dinah! I wonder if i could not see you any more' and here poor Alice began to cry again, for she felt very lonely and low-spirited. In a little while, however, she again heard a little pattering of footstep in the distance, and she looked up eagerly, half hoping that the Mouse had changed his mind, and was coming back to finish his story.
