The Adventure of Alice in The Wonderland

Listen to the story:

Or read the story:

Once upon a time, in a world not much different from our own, there lived a curious girl named Alice.
She was golden-haired and had a lot of questions. Once upon a time, on a sunny day, sitting on the bank of the river with her sister, Alice spotted a hurry-scurrying white rabbit in a waistcoat, talking to itself.

“Curiouser and Curiouser,”

Alice thought, that rabbits shouldn’t wear waistcoats and certainly shouldn’t talk.

But Alice couldn’t help it; she was always too curious for her own good. So, like always, after the White Rabbit, she went. Down the hole after him, falling and chasing him through the rabbit hole, she fell, fell, fell…

At last, when Alice descended, she found herself in a funny place; nothing like what she had ever seen. Everything seemed upside-down, talking animals, funny characters, and fairy-tale creatures everywhere.

Alice met a smirking Cheshire Cat who could come and go as it pleased. She had some tea with the Mad Hatter, who attended an inexhaustible tea party and conversed with a dormouse that would keep falling asleep. She played croquet with the Queen of Hearts, who was always shouting,

“Off with their heads!”

As Alice slowly advanced through the world of fantasy, she came across the Caterpillar, sitting on a mushroom and smoking a hookah. He dispensed advice that was quite unclear.

But it is meeting the White Rabbit that landed her up in a garden where everything and everybody is small. She took a bite from a cake that made her grow tall and sipped from a bottle that made her shrink.

During her adventures, Alice put herself in such a difficult position and met the most inquisitive people who probably challenged her imagination and logic. She understood that this place, Wonderland, was. the land of dreams and imagination, where anything could happen.

After Alice’s very wonderful and curious adventures, she very often got rather homesick, and, as she was slowly getting used to traveling, she thought she would like to go back to the looking-glass house again. So she set to work and very soon finished off the cake.

She went through the door, finding herself on the bank of the river once more, her sister was sitting still. It was indeed all a dream! But what a dream, perhaps never to be dreamed again!

Alice realized that the most magical adventures can happen inside our own minds and that curiosity and imagination can take us to the most extraordinary places. She went home that night with a happy face and an amazed heart, realizing that the world was full of surprises; each day left her with something new to cherish and opened her eyes to new meanings.

And so continued the day of Alice in Wonderland—a great, nostalgic remembrance that would remind from time to time of the completely mad, wonderful day in the crazy world.

Moral: “Welcome curiosity and individuality, for in the self-discovery journey, one might find the unexpected and surreal. By being brave, flexible, and open-minded, one would surely manage to go through the whimsical twists of life, be taught many great lessons, and surely find his or her own, created by their own manners.”
