Chapter 6: The Magic of the Carrot

The animals look up and see Bill flying away like a rocket.

Dodo frowns and says, “Well, that didn’t work.”

Dodo says, “There’s only one thing left—burn the house down!”

The animals take the furniture apart and pile it in the yard.

They light a fire, and thick smoke rises.

Alice coughs and says, “No! Stop! You will kill me!”

She desperately tries to find a way to escape.

She sees a basket of carrots in the yard.

She says, “Maybe eating something will make me smaller.”

She reaches for a carrot and takes a bite.

Sure enough, her body begins to shrink.

Her arms slowly draw back from the windows.

Her feet also pull out from the doorway.

She grows smaller, and the house feels bigger and bigger.

Alice says, “Wonderful! Now I can get out!”

She pushes the door open and walks out of the house.

The animals outside scatter in fear.

Dodo flaps his wings and shouts, “Run! The monster is out!”

Alice looks down at herself and sees she is back to normal size.

She brushes the dust off her hands and says, “What a strange experience this is.”
