There seemed to be no use in waiting by the
little door, so she went back to the table, half
hoping she might find another key on it, or at
any rate a book of rules for shutting people up
like telescopes:  this time she found a little
bottle on it, ('which certainly was not here
before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the
bottle was a paper label, with the words 'DRINK
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.
It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the
wise little Alice was not going to do THAT in a
hurry.  'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and
see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for
she had read several nice little histories about
children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild
beasts and other unpleasant things, all because
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
they WOULD not remember the simple rules their
friends had taught them:  such as, that a
red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too
long; and that if you cut your finger VERY
deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she
had never forgotten that, if you drink much from
a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain
to disagree with you, sooner or later.
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
However, this bottle was NOT marked 'poison,' so
Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very
nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour
of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast
turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she
very soon finished it off.
'What a curious feeling!' said Alice; 'I must be
shutting up like a telescope.'
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
And so it was indeed:  she was now only ten
inches high, and her face brightened up at the
thought that she was now the right size for
going through the little door into that lovely
garden.  First, however, she waited for a few
minutes to see if she was going to shrink any
further:  she felt a little nervous about this;
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
'for it might end, you know,' said Alice to
herself, 'in my going out altogether, like a
candle.
I wonder what I should be like then?'
And she tried to fancy what the flame of a
candle is like after the candle is blown out,
for she could not remember ever having seen
such a thing.
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
After a while, finding that nothing more
happened, she decided on going into the garden
at once; but, alas for poor Alice!  when she got
to the door, she found she had forgotten the
little golden key, and when she went back to the
table for it, she found she could not possibly
reach it:  she could see it quite plainly
through the glass, and she tried her best to
</TYPE>
<TYPE>
climb up one of the legs of the table, but it
was too slippery; and when she had tired herself
out with trying, the poor little thing sat down
and cried.
