Who Stole the Tarts?
谁偷了馅饼?

In the garden, Alice saw the King and Queen of Hearts.

There were many little birds and animals, as well as a pack of cards. The Knave of Hearts was standing in chains before them.

And the White Rabbit was standing near the King.

The White Rabbit had a trumpet in one hand and a paper in the other.

In the middle of the room, there was a large dish of tarts.

"Hmm, they look so yummy. I'm hungry," said Alice.

Alice looked around the room.

"Ah-ha! This must be a courtroom!

"He is the judge, and the twelve birds and animals are the jury," said Alice.

The jury was writing on the note pad.

Alice looked over the shoulders and said,

"Why are they writing their names?"

"So they won't forget them," said an animal next to Alice.

"How foolish they are!" Alice said.

"The Hatter!"

Then the Hatter came in with a teacup and some bread-and-butter.

"Take off your hat," said the King.

"It's not mine," said the Hatter.

"Stolen! Write that down," the King said to the jury.

"No, no! I keep hats to sell. I'm a hatter," the Hatter explained. He looked very afraid.

"Don't be afraid, or I'll cut off your head," said the King.

The Hatter bit a large piece of his teacup instead of the bread.

He was saying something, but nobody could understand a word of it.

Finally, the King said, "You can go."
