Hardly knowing what she did, she picked up a little bit of stick, and held it out to the puppy; whereupon the puppy jumped into the air off all its feet at once, with a yelp of delight, and rushed at the stick, and made believe to worry it; then Alice dodged behind a great thistle, to keep herself from being run over; and the moment she appeared on the other side, the puppy made another rush at the stick, and tumbled head over heels in its hurry to get hold of it; then Alice, thinking it was very like having a game of play with a cart-horse, and expecting every moment to be trampled under its feet, ran round the thistle again; then the puppy began a series of short charges at the stick, running a very little way forwards each time and a long way back, and barking hoarsely all the while, till at last it sat down a good way off, panting, with its tongue hanging out of its mouth, and its great eyes half shut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seemed to Alice a good opportunity for making her escape; so she set off at once, and ran till she was quite tired and out of breath, and till the puppy\u2019s bark sounded quite faint in the distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018And yet what a dear little puppy it was!\u2019 said Alice, as she leant against a buttercup to rest herself, and fanned herself with one of the leaves: \u2018I should have liked teaching it tricks very much, if\u2014if I\u2019d only been the right size to do it! Oh dear! I\u2019d nearly forgotten that I\u2019ve got to grow up again! Let me see\u2014how is<\/em> it to be managed? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose I ought to eat or drink something or other; but the great question is, what?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alice looked all round her at the flowers and the blades of grass, but she did not see anything that looked like the right thing to eat or drink under the circumstances. There was a large mushroom growing near her, about the same height as herself; and when she had looked under it, and on both sides of it, and behind it, it occurred to her that she might as well look and see what was on the top of it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n She stretched herself up on tiptoe, and peeped over the edge of the\n mushroom, and her eyes immediately met those of a large caterpillar, that\n was sitting on the top with its arms folded, quietly smoking a long\n hookah, and taking not the smallest notice of her or of anything else.\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0Alice remained looking thoughtfully at the mushroom for a minute, trying to make out which were the two sides of it; and as it was perfectly round, she found this a very difficult question. However, at last she stretched her arms round it as far as they would go, and broke off a bit of the edge with each hand. \u00a0\u00bb <\/p>Alice in Wonderland<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Of the mushroom,\u2019 said the Caterpillar, just as if she had asked it aloud; and in another moment it was out of sight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘And now which is which?\u2019 she said to herself, and nibbled a little of the right-hand bit to try the effect: the next moment she felt a violent blow underneath her chin: it had struck her foot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was a good deal frightened by this very sudden change, but she felt that there was no time to be lost, as she was shrinking rapidly; so she set to work at once to eat some of the other bit. Her chin was pressed so closely against her foot, that there was hardly room to open her mouth; but she did it at last, and managed to swallow a morsel of the lefthand bit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
