Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Chapter I: The Descent Down the Rabbit Hole
Alice, bored while sitting outdoors with her sister, notices a white rabbit in a waistcoat muttering about being late.

She finds a bottle labeled “Drink Me,” shrinks after drinking its contents, and then encounters a cake labeled “Eat Me.”

The cake makes Alice grow very tall, then shrink again after using a magical fan. She swims in a pool of her own tears and meets a Mouse, who guides her to shore along with other swimming animals.

The Dodo organizes a Caucus-Race to dry everyone off, and Alice distributes candies as prizes. The Mouse tells a story, but is offended when Alice mentions her cat.

Mistaken for a maid, Alice enters the White Rabbit’s house and drinks another potion, growing enormous. The Rabbit and a crowd try to remove her giant arm from the window. Alice shrinks again after eating magic cakes and flees into the forest.
