Слайд 5She walked through the wood and soon she came to another
little house.
“I wonder who lives here,” Alice thought.
Слайд 6Someone in a sort of uniform ran out of the wood
and knocked at the door. He looked like a fish and had a big letter in his hand.
Слайд 7A frog-man opened the door. He had another sort of uniform.
The fish-man gave the frog-man the huge letter.
“This is for the Duchess,” he said. “It’s an invitation from the Queen to play croquet.”
Слайд 8Then the fish-man walked away, and the frog-man sat on the
front steps.
Alice went up to the door and knocked.
Слайд 9“Why are you knocking?” asked the frog-man.
“I can’t let you in,
because I’m outside. Anyway, no-one can hear your knocking.”
Слайд 10He was right. There was a terrible noise coming from inside
the house. Alice heard screams, sneezes, and loud crashes.
“Well, how can I get in?” asked Alice.
“Why don’t you open the door?” asked the frog-man.
Слайд 11Alice opened the door and went into the house. She was
in a large kitchen. In the middle of the kitchen was the Duchess, with a noisy baby. There was a cook near the fire with a huge pot of soup.
The air was full of pepper. Alice sneezed.
Слайд 12There was a large cat near the fire. It smiled Alice.
“Why
is your cat smiling?” Alice asked the Duchess.
The Duchess sneezed. “It’s a Cheshire Cat” she said. Then she shouted “Pig!”
“Excuse me?” said Alice.
“I’m talking to the baby,” said the Duchess.
“Well, that’s not a nice thing to say!” said Alice.
Слайд 13“Mind our business!” shouted the Duchess.
“Cook! Cut off her head!”
Alice was
scared, but the cook didn’t listen to the Duchess.
“Here! Take the baby!” said the Duchess, and she gave the baby to Alice. “I must get ready for croquet with the Queen!”
Слайд 14The Duchess went to get for croquet, and Alice took the
baby outside.
“That’s not a good place for a baby to live,” she said. She looked at the baby.
Слайд 15It looked like a little pig. It made a noise like
a pig, too.
“You ARE a pig!” said Alice to the baby. She put it on the ground and it walked away into the wood.
Слайд 16“Where am I now?”
thought Alice.
