Alice in Wonderland

Alice is sitting with her sister outdoors when she spies a White Rabbit with a pocket watch. Fascinated by the
sight, she follows the rabbit down the hole. She falls for a long time, and finds herself in a long hallway full of
doors. There is also a key on the table, which unlocks a tiny door; through this door, she spies a beautiful
garden. She longs to get there, but the door is too small. Soon, she finds a drink with a note that asks her to
drink it. There is later a cake with a note that tells her to eat; Alice uses both, but she cannot seem to get a
handle on things, and is always either too large to get through the door or too small to reach the key.

While she is tiny, she slips and falls into a pool of water. She realizes that this little sea is made of tears she
cried while a giant. She swims to shore with a number of animals, most notably a sensitive mouse, but manages
to offend everyone by talking about her cat's ability to catch birds and mice. Left alone, she goes on through the
wood and runs into the White Rabbit. He mistakes her for his maid and sends her to fetch some things from his
house. While in the White Rabbit's home, she drinks another potion and becomes too huge to get out through
the door. She eventually finds a little cake which, when eaten, makes her small again.

In the wood again, she comes across a Caterpillar sitting on a mushroom. He gives her some valuable advice, as
well as a valuable tool: the two sides of the mushroom, which can make Alice grow larger and smaller as she
wishes. The first time she uses them, she stretches her body out tremendously. While stretched out, she pokes
her head into the branches of a tree and meets a Pigeon. The Pigeon is convinced that Alice is a serpent, and
though Alice tries to reason with her the Pigeon tells her to be off.

Alice gets herself down to normal proportions and continues her trek through the woods. In a clearing she
comes across a little house and shrinks herself down enough to get inside. It is the house of the Duchess; the
Duchess and the Cook are battling fiercely, and they seem unconcerned about the safety of the baby that the
Duchess is nursing. Alice takes the baby with her, but the child turns into a pig and trots off into the woods.
Alice next meets the Cheshire cat (who was sitting in the Duchess's house, but said nothing). The Cheshire cat
helps her to find her way through the woods, but he warns her that everyone she meets will be mad.

Alice goes to the March Hare's house, where she is treated to a Mad Tea Party. Present are the March Hare, the
Hatter, and the Dormouse. Ever since Time stopped working for the Hatter, it has always been six o'clock; it is
therefore always teatime. The creatures of the Mad Tea Party are some of the must argumentative in all of
Wonderland. Alice leaves them and finds a tree with a door in it: when she looks through the door, she spies the
door-lined hallway from the beginning of her adventures. This time, she is prepared, and she manages to get to
the lovely garden that she saw earlier. She walks on through, and finds herself in the garden of the Queen of
Hearts. There, three gardeners (with bodies shaped like playing cards) are painting the roses red. If the Queen
finds out that they planted white roses, she'll have them beheaded. The Queen herself soon arrives, and she does
order their execution; Alice helps to hide them in a large flowerpot.

The Queen invites Alice to play croquet, which is a very difficult game in Wonderland, as the balls and mallets
are live animals. The game is interrupted by the appearance of the Cheshire cat, whom the King of Hearts
immediately dislikes.

The Queen takes Alice to the Gryphon, who in turn takes Alice to the Mock Turtle. The Gryphon and the Mock
Turtle tell Alice bizarre stories about their school under the sea. The Mock Turtles sings a melancholy song
about turtle soup, and soon afterward the Gryphon drags Alice off to see the trial of the Knave of Hearts.

The Knave of Hearts has been accused of stealing the tarts of the Queen of Hearts, but the evidence against him
is very bad. Alice is appalled by the ridiculous proceedings. She also begins to grow larger. She is soon called
to the witness stand; by this time she has grown to giant size. She refuses to be intimidated by the bad logic of
the court and the bluster of the King and Queen of Hearts. Suddenly, the cards all rise up and attack her, at
which point she wakes up. Her adventures in Wonderland have all been a fantastic dream.
Sundalong Patpat

Saan ka pupunta, o Sundalong Patpat,” tanong ng sampalok. “Saan ka dadalhin ng


kabayong payat?” “Hahanapin ko ang nawawalang ulan,” sagot ng Sundalong Patpat
habang inaayos ang papel na sombrero. “Pero hindi hinahanap ang ulan,” nagtatakang
nagkamot ng tuktok ang sampalok. “Dumarating ito kung kailan gusto.” “Kung gayon,
aalamin ko kung bakit matagal nang ayaw dumalaw ng ulan,” sagot ng Sundalong
Patpat at pinatakbo ang kanyang kabayong payat.

“Saan ka pupunta, o Sundalong Patpat,” tanong ng manok. “Saan ka dadalhin ng


kabayong payat?” “Hahanapin ko ang nakalimot na ulan,” sagot ng Sundalong Patpat
habang nagpupunas ng pawis na tumatagaktak. “Pero hindi hinahanap ang ulan,”
nagtatakang nagkamot ng tuktok ang sampalok. “Dumarating ito kung kailan
tinatawagan at dinadasalan.” “Kung gayon, aalamin ko kung bakit matagal nang hindi
makarinig ang ulan,” sagot ng Sundalong Patpat at pinatakbo ang kanyang kabayong
payat.

“Saan ka pupunta, o Sundalong Patpat,” tanong ng bundok. “Saan ka dadalhin ng


kabayong payat?” “Hinahanap ko ang nawawalang ulan,” sagot ng Sundalong Patpat
at iwinasiwas ang espadang patpat. “Pero hindi nagtatago ang ulan,” paliwanag ng
nanginginig na dagat. “Ibinilanggo ni Pugita sa kaniyang mutyang perlas.” “Kung
gayon, papatayin ko si Pugita,” sabi ng matapang na Sundalong Patpat. “Palalayain ko
ang ulan.”

At sinugod ng Sundalong Patpat sakay ng kaniyang kabayong payat ang yungib ni


Pugita. Nagulat si Pugita sa biglang pagpasok ng Sundalong Patpat na iwinawasiwas
ang espadang patpat. Nagulat si Pugita sa liksi at lakas ng maliit na Sundalong Patpat.
Nagulat si Pugita sa talim at talas ng kumikislap na espadang patpat.

Mabilis at isa-isang tinigpas ng Sundalong Patpat ang maraming mahahabang galamay


ng mabagal at matabang dambuhala. Isa, dalawa, tatlo. Apat. Lima. Anim. Pito. Walo!
Huli na nang magbuga ng maitim na tinta si Pugita. Nasungkit na ng Sundalong Patpat
ang mutyang perlas na nakapalawit sa kuwintas ng nalumpong reyna ng dagat!

Hawak ang perlas, dali-daling sumibad patungong pampang ang Sundalong Patpat
sakay ng mabilis na kabayong payat. Pagkaahon ay agad niyang ipinukol ang mutyang
perlas paitaas, mataas, mataas na mataas, hanggang umabot sa tiyan ng langit at
sumabog ang masaganang ulan.

Nagbunyi ang buong daigdig. Sumupling muli’t naglaro ang damo’t dahon. Nagbihis
ng luntian ang mga bukid at bundok. Muling umawit ang mga ibon at ilog…

“Saan ka pupunta, o Sundalong Patpat,” tanong ng sampalok. “Saan ka naman


dadalhin ng kabayong payat?” “Hahanapin ko ang gusi ng ginto sa puno ng
bahaghari,” sagot ng makisig na Sundalong Patpat at pinatakbo ang makisig na
kabayong payat.
