Слайд 6Alice walked through the wood, away from the March Hare’s house.
Suddenly, she saw a tree with a door in it.
“How strange!” she said. “But then, everything is strange today.”
Слайд 7She went through the door. She was in the long room
with the glass table again. This time, she took the key and unlocked the tiny door first. Then she ate one of the cakes from the rabbit’s house.
Слайд 8“Now I’m small enough to go into the garden at last!”
she said, and she went through the door.
Слайд 9There were a lot of people in the garden. First, Alice
saw three gardeners. They looked like playing cards with black spades on them. Then ten soldiers walked across the grass. They had black clubs on them.
Слайд 10Then the royal children ran across the garden. They were playing
cards, too, and they had red hearts on them. The Knave of Hearts came next, and then Alice saw the White Rabbit, and the King and Queen of Hearts.
Слайд 11Alice stood still and waited. The King and Queen stopped in
front of her. The gardeners quickly lay down on their faces.
Слайд 12“Who is this?” asked the Queen of Hearts. “What’s your name,
child?”
“My name is Alice, your Majesty,” Alice sad. “I mustn’t be afraid,” she thought. “They’re only a pack of cards.”
“And who are these?” said the Queen of Hearts. She pointed to the gardeners.
“I don’t know,” said Alice. “It’s not my business!”
Слайд 13The Queen was so angry that her face turned red. “Cut
off her head!” she shouted.
Alice wasn’t scared. “Don’t be so silly!” she said to the Queen. “You can’t cut my head off!”
Слайд 14“Calm down, dear,” said the King to the Queen. “She’s only
a child.”
Слайд 15“Very well,” said the Queen. “Can you play croquet?”
“Yes,” said Alice.
Слайд 16“Come on, then!” shouted the Queen. “Take your places!”
Alice looked around
and saw that everyone was ready to play. It was a very strange game. The balls were hedgehogs, and the mallest were flamingoes. The soldiers stood on their hands and feet to make hoops.
Слайд 17It was very difficult to play croquet with a flamingo. The
pink birds didn’t want to stay still. People shouted at each other and ran around the garden. The Queen got very angry and shouted “Cut off his head!” or “Cut off her head!” every few minutes.
Слайд 18Alice wanted to get away, but she didn’t know where to
go.
