Алиса в Стране чудес / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Alice stood in a long, low hall, a row of lamps was hanging from the roof. There were many doors on all sides, but they were all locked. She walked back and forth and tried to think how to get out. Suddenly she saw a little glass table; there was a tiny golden key on it. Alice thought that this was the key to one of the doors of the hall, but when she tried the key in each lock, she found that the locks were too large or the key was too small.

Then Alice noticed a little door about fifteen inches high. She tried the key in the lock, and to her great joy it fitted. Alice opened the door and found a small passage, not larger than a rat-hole. But how to get there? She was too big for that passage. She knelt down and looked through it into a garden of flowers.

Alice went back to the table: this time she found a little bottle on it, which was not there before, and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label with the words 'DRINK ME' in large letters.

It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice said, 'No, I'll look first. Is it marked “poison” or not?' She knew: if you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it will certainly make you sick.
