ALICE'S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND It took a watch out of its pocket looked at it and then hurried away Being very curious Alice jumped to her feet and ran across the field after it She was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit hole under the hedge Without thinking she followed The rabbit hole was a long tunnel that seemed to go on forever She made her way through the narrow passageway as best she could when suddenly it dropped down Alice didn't have a minute to think before she realized she was falling down a very deep well She seemed to be falling very slowly so she spent her time looking around Cupboards bookshelves bookshelves maps and pictures that hung upon nails filled the walls of the well She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed it It was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE but to her disappointment disappointment it was empty so she carefully put it back into one of the cupboards as she fell past it Down down down she went Would the fall ever come to an end I wonder how many miles I've fallen she said out loud must be getting near the center of the earth I wonder if I will fall right through it
