Alice sat next to her sister.
Her sister was reading a book.
"What a boring book! It has no pictures or dialogue," said Alice. It was very hot. She was getting sleepy.
Suddenly, a white rabbit ran by her!
"Oh! I'm going to be late!" said the White Rabbit.
He looked at his watch and kept running.
"Oh, my! The rabbit can speak!" said Alice.
Then she ran after the White Rabbit.
The White Rabbit jumped into a hole, and she followed him.

She saw a small golden key on a glass table.
The key unlocked a small door.
Alice saw a beautiful garden outside the small door.
"I want to go into the garden,
