"There's no room!" cried the March Hare and the Hatter.

"There's plenty of room!"

Alice said and joined them anyway.

"What day is it?" he asked Alice.

"Wednesday, I think," she said.

"Oh, my watch says Monday," sighed the Hatter.

"It's a strange watch! It tells you the day,

but it doesn't tell you the time," said Alice.

"So? Does your watch tell you the year?" asked the Hatter.

"No," Alice answered, "but it's the same year for a very long time."

"And my watch doesn't tell the time because it's always tea-time," said the Hatter.

"I don't really understand," said Alice to herself.

Alice thought the tea party was stupid.

Alice looked back, hoping the March Hare and the Hatter would call after her. But they didn't say anything.

They were trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot!

Alice saw a big tree with a door in it.

"That's strange," she said, "I'll go into the tree."

The door in the tree led her to the long hallway again.

She picked up the little golden key.

She found the small door and unlocked it.

"I can go into the garden now!" shouted Alice.

Finally, she was in the beautiful garden.

It was full of beautiful flowers and nice fountains.
