Алиса в Стране чудес / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

Alice began, in a low, timid voice, 'If you please, sir-'

The Rabbit dropped the white gloves and the fan, and ran away into the darkness.

Alice took up the fan and gloves. 'Dear, dear! How queer everything is today! And yesterday everything was as usual. Was I changed in the night? Let me think, who am I? Do I know the things that I used to know? Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is-oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate[2]. Let's try Geography. London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and Rome-no, that's all wrong, I'm certain! Who am I then?' cried Alice with tears, 'I am so tired!'

As she said this she looked down at her hands, and was surprised. She put on one of the Rabbit's little white gloves. 'How could I do that?' she thought. 'I am growing small again.'

She got up and went to the table. She was now about two feet high. The cause of this was the fan that she was holding, and she dropped it hastily.
