Chapter 1: The Talking Rabbit

Alice and her sister sit by the river.

Her sister reads quietly, not looking up.

Alice says, “And what is the use of a book without pictures or conversation?”

Yawns and looks at the sky.

Suddenly, a White Rabbit runs past.

Wearing a suit, carrying a watch.

Keeps shouting, “I’m late! I’m late!”

Alice says in surprise, “Oh my, a talking rabbit!”

Stands up and stares curiously.

Says, “What can a rabbit be late for? How strange!”

The White Rabbit looks at his watch, worried.

Shouts, “Such an important day, no time to say hello!”

Alice shouts, “Wait! Wait!”

Runs after him at once.

The White Rabbit runs and shouts, “I’m late! I’m late!”

Runs faster and faster, not wanting to lose him.

The White Rabbit suddenly jumps into a big hole.

Stops at the hole and hesitates for a moment.

Says, “I must know where he is going!”

Jumps in and falls down the hole.
