Алиса в Стране чудес / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

When she looked down at her feet they were so far off.

'Let me see. I'll give my feet a new pair of shoes every Christmas.'

She stopped to think: how to send them?

'They must go by mail,' she thought; 'how funny! I'll send shoes to my own feet! How strange the address will be!'

Just then her head struck against the roof of the hall: in fact she was now more than nine feet high, and she at once took up the little golden key. But she can't open the door, she is too big. Poor Alice! She sat down and began to cry again.

'Shame on you,' said Alice, 'a big girl like you! Don't cry! Stop at once, I tell you!'

She was shedding gallons[1] of tears, until there was a large pool all round her, about four inches deep and reaching half down the hall.

After a time she heard some noise. She hastily dried her eyes to see what was coming. It was the White Rabbit. He was returning, with a pair of white gloves in one hand and a large fan in the other. He was muttering to himself, 'Oh! the Duchess, the Duchess! She will be angry. Oh! I can't be late!'
