Chapter 1: Down the Rabbit-Hole
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversations?'
The day was warm and the air was still, making Alice feel drowsy as she sat by her sister. The gentle sound of the river flowing nearby created a peaceful atmosphere.
Her sister was reading a book that seemed quite dull to Alice, who preferred stories with more excitement and adventure.
Alice's mind began to wander, and she started to wonder what it would be like to live in a world where everything was different from what she knew.
Just as she was about to doze off, she noticed something unusual moving through the grass nearby.
It was a white rabbit, which wasn't unusual in itself, but this rabbit was wearing a waistcoat and had a pocket watch.
The rabbit kept muttering to itself about being late, which made Alice curious about where it might be going.
Without thinking twice, Alice got up and followed the rabbit, which led her to a large rabbit-hole under a hedge.
The hole seemed to go straight down like a tunnel, and Alice, being naturally curious, decided to follow the rabbit into it.
As she began to fall, Alice had plenty of time to look around and wonder what would happen next.
Chapter 2: The Pool of Tears
Alice grows and shrinks, creating a pool of tears.
After falling for what seemed like hours, Alice finally landed in a strange room with many doors.
She found a small key on a glass table, but none of the doors were small enough for her to fit through.
Then she noticed a bottle labeled 'DRINK ME' and, being thirsty, she decided to try it.
The liquid made her shrink to a tiny size, but she had left the key on the table, which was now too high to reach.
She found a cake labeled 'EAT ME' and hoped it would help her grow back to her normal size.
Instead, she grew so tall that her head hit the ceiling, and she began to cry.
Her tears formed a large pool around her, and she found herself swimming in it.
In the pool, she met a mouse and other animals who had also fallen into the water.
Together, they swam to the shore and tried to figure out how to get dry.
Chapter 3: A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale
The animals try to dry themselves in a peculiar race.
The Dodo, who seemed to be in charge, marked out a race course in a sort of circle.
The race began without any clear signal, and the animals started running in different directions.
After half an hour or so, when they were all quite dry, the Dodo suddenly called out 'The race is over!'
Everyone crowded around the Dodo, panting and asking, 'But who has won?'
The Dodo thought for a long time, and then said, 'Everybody has won, and all must have prizes.'
They all looked at Alice, who had nothing to give as prizes.
Alice found a thimble in her pocket and gave it to the Dodo as a prize.
The Dodo solemnly presented it back to her, saying, 'We beg your acceptance of this elegant thimble.'
The other animals received various small items as prizes, and the ceremony ended with a dance.
Chapter 4: The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill
Alice grows too large for the White Rabbit's house.
The White Rabbit came trotting along, looking anxiously about as he went.
He was carrying a pair of white kid gloves and a large fan.
Alice was so large that she filled the whole house, and her arm was sticking out of the window.
The Rabbit tried to get in through the window, but Alice's arm blocked the way.
He called for help, and soon a crowd of animals gathered outside.
They decided to send Bill the Lizard down the chimney to get Alice out.
Alice kicked Bill out of the chimney, and he went flying through the air.
The animals outside were frightened and ran away, leaving the Rabbit alone.
Alice found some pebbles that turned into cakes when they hit the floor.
She ate one of the cakes and began to shrink again.
Chapter 5: Advice from a Caterpillar
The Caterpillar gives Alice confusing advice about the mushroom.
Alice found herself face to face with a large blue caterpillar, sitting on a mushroom and smoking a hookah.
The Caterpillar looked at her for some time without speaking, then asked, 'Who are you?'
Alice replied that she didn't know who she was anymore, as she had changed size so many times.
The Caterpillar asked her to recite a poem, and Alice tried to remember 'You are old, Father William.'
Her recitation came out all wrong, with the words mixed up and changed.
The Caterpillar told her that one side of the mushroom would make her grow taller, and the other side would make her grow shorter.
Alice broke off two pieces of the mushroom, one from each side.
She nibbled a bit of one piece and found her chin hitting her foot.
Quickly, she took a bite of the other piece and began to grow again.
Chapter 6: Pig and Pepper
Alice meets the Duchess and her baby that turns into a pig.
Alice came to a house with a large kitchen, where the Duchess was nursing a baby.
The kitchen was full of smoke, and the cook was throwing pots and pans at the Duchess and the baby.
The baby was sneezing and howling, and the Duchess was singing a lullaby to it.
The Duchess handed the baby to Alice, saying it was making her sneeze.
Alice noticed that the baby was beginning to look more like a pig than a baby.
She carried it outside, and it turned into a pig and ran away into the woods.
The Cheshire Cat appeared in a tree, grinning at Alice.
The Cat told Alice that everyone in Wonderland was mad, including her.
He gave her directions to the March Hare's house and the Hatter's house.
The Cat slowly disappeared, leaving only its grin behind.
Chapter 7: A Mad Tea-Party
Alice joins the Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse for tea.
She found a table set out under a tree, with the Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse having tea.
The table was very long, but they were all crowded together at one end.
Alice sat down, but they told her there was no room, even though there was plenty of space.
The Hatter's watch told the day of the month, but not the time.
They asked Alice riddles that had no answers, and the Dormouse kept falling asleep.
The Hatter told Alice that Time had stopped at six o'clock, so it was always tea time.
They moved around the table, leaving dirty dishes behind them.
Alice got up and walked away, saying it was the stupidest tea party she had ever been to.
As she left, she saw the Hatter and March Hare trying to put the Dormouse into the teapot.
Chapter 8: The Queen's Croquet-Ground
Alice plays croquet with the Queen of Hearts using flamingos and hedgehogs.
Alice came to a beautiful garden with a large croquet ground.
The Queen of Hearts was there, with her court of playing cards.
The Queen invited Alice to play croquet, but the game was very confusing.
The balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets were flamingos, and the hoops were soldiers.
The hedgehogs kept unrolling and running away, and the flamingos would turn their heads to look at Alice.
The Queen kept shouting 'Off with his head!' at everyone who made a mistake.
Alice noticed that the executions never actually happened, as the King quietly pardoned everyone.
The game became more chaotic as the players moved the hoops and balls around.
Finally, the Queen got tired of the game and ordered everyone to follow her to the trial.
Chapter 9: The Mock Turtle's Story
The Mock Turtle tells Alice about his education under the sea.
Alice met the Gryphon, who took her to see the Mock Turtle.
The Mock Turtle was sitting on a rock, sighing deeply and looking very sad.
He told Alice about his school days under the sea, where he learned various subjects.
The subjects included Reeling and Writhing, Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.
He also learned Mystery, ancient and modern, with Seaography.
The Mock Turtle's teacher was an old Turtle called Tortoise.
He explained that they called him Tortoise because he taught them.
The Mock Turtle and Gryphon then demonstrated the Lobster Quadrille.
They danced around Alice, singing a song about a whiting and a snail.
Chapter 10: The Lobster Quadrille
The Mock Turtle and Gryphon dance the Lobster Quadrille.
They explained to Alice how the dance was performed with lobsters.
First, they would stand on the shore, then advance twice, set to partners.
Then they would change lobsters and retire in same order.
The Mock Turtle sang a song about a whiting and a snail.
Alice asked about the whiting, and they told her it was a kind of fish.
They also explained about the porpoise and how it would step on their toes.
The dance ended with the Mock Turtle and Gryphon falling silent.
Alice thanked them for the dance and asked about the trial.
They told her to hurry to the trial of the Knave of Hearts.
Chapter 11: Who Stole the Tarts?
The Knave of Hearts is on trial for stealing the Queen's tarts.
Alice arrived at the court, where the King and Queen of Hearts were sitting on their thrones.
The court was full of birds and animals, and the whole pack of cards.
The Knave of Hearts was standing before them, in chains.
The White Rabbit was acting as herald, reading the accusation.
The first witness was the Hatter, who came in with a teacup and a piece of bread and butter.
The King asked him to take off his hat, but the Hatter explained he didn't own it.
The next witness was the Duchess's cook, who brought the tarts into court.
The Queen ordered the tarts to be taken as evidence.
The King asked the jury to consider their verdict.
The White Rabbit interrupted, saying they hadn't heard all the evidence yet.
Chapter 12: Alice's Evidence
Alice grows to her full size and challenges the Queen's authority.
Alice was called as a witness, but she had grown so large that she knocked over the jury box.
She quickly put the jurors back in their places, but they were all upside down.
The King asked her what she knew about the tarts.
Alice said she knew nothing about them, which made the King very angry.
The Queen ordered Alice's head to be cut off, but Alice had grown to her full size.
She told them they were nothing but a pack of cards.
The whole pack rose up into the air and came flying down upon her.
Alice tried to beat them off, and found herself lying on the bank.
Her sister was gently brushing away some dead leaves that had fallen on her face.
Alice told her sister about her wonderful dream.
