cups and plates all the way along it.

33

01:35
Alice: Yes, I do.
34
95560
2000
01:37

35
97560
1700
01:39
what you mean!
36
99260
980
01:40
Alice: I do. At least, I mean what I say.
37
100240

That's the same thing, isn't it?
38

2600
01:46
Hatter: But why is a raven like
39
106800
1796
01:48
a writing-desk?
40
108600
1600
01:50
Have you guessed the answer yet?
41
110200

112140
3020
01:55
Hatter: I don't know! Do you know?
43
115160
3920
01:59
March Hare: I don't know either!
44
119080
2620
02:03
Alice: I think you should only ask
45
123220
1780
02:05
riddles if you know the answer.
46
125000
2360
02:07

47
127360
2760
02:10
Alice: I haven't had any tea, have I?
48
130120
2594
02:12
So, I can't take more.
49
132720
2180
02:14
Hatter: You mean you can't take less.
50
134900
2240
02:17
It's very easy to take more than nothing.
51

3140
02:20
Narrator: Alice got up and walked off
52
140280
2115

without saying goodbye.
53
142395
1464
02:23
March Hare: More tea, Hatter?
54
143860
2900
02:26

55
146760

Good morning. Let's have a wee cup, shall we?

148680
2580
02:31
Narrator: The Hatter and the March Hare
57
151860
1420
02:33
didn't seem to notice her leaving.
58
153280
2160
02:35
Alice went back into the woods.
59
155440
2160
02:37
She looked back as she walked away.
60
157600
2260
02:40
The Hatter and the March Hare were
61
160540
1720
02:42
trying to put the mouse into the teapot.
62
162260
3040
02:45
Nice, nice...
63
165300
960
02:46
Hatter and Hare: In you go!
64
166260
2220
02:48
Oh, he does wriggle, doesn't he?
65
168480
2100
02:50
Nice cake
66
170580
1519
02:52
Alice: I'll never go there again!
67
172099
2358
02:54
That was the stupidest tea-party I've ever
68
174460
3280
02:57
been to in all my life!
69
177740
2140
03:01
Narrator: Back in the woods, Alice saw
70
181360
2300
03:03
a tree with a door in it.
71
183660
2540
03:06
Alice: That's very curious! I wonder
72
186200
3260
03:09
what could be behind a door in a tree...
73
189468
3631
03:13
Narrator: In Wonderland anything
74
193100
2769
03:15
can be behind any door.
75
195869
2371
03:18
Alice opened the door and there
76
198240
2380
03:20
she was at the beginning
77
200629
1466
03:22
of her adventures again - in the hall
78
202095
2300
03:24
with the locked doors
79
204395
1305
03:25
and the table with the little key on it.
80
205700
2390
03:29
Alice: I remember that little door
81
209020
2552
03:31
and the key! This time I know what to do!
82
211580
4260
03:35
I'm finally going to get into the garden!
83
215840
3980
03:40
Narrator: Alice had learned a lot
84
220420
1175
03:41
about growing and shrinking
85
221595
2047
03:43
in Wonderland. She took the key off
86
223642
2047
03:45
the table first... and then ate some of the
87
225689
2720
03:48
mushroom she had taken
88
228409
1411
03:49
from the caterpillar and put in her pocket.
89
229840
3200
03:56
Soon she was small enough to unlock
90
236660
1940
03:58
the door and go through it.
91
238620
2980
04:09
Alice: Oh, it's so pretty here!
92
249760
6280
04:17
Narrator: We'll leave Alice here for now,
93
257340
1860
04:19
happy in the garden at last.
94
259200
2760
04:21
Soon, she's going to meet the Queen
95
261960
3240
04:25
and play croquet.
96
265200
2020
04:30
Will she still be happy then?
97
270320
2500
04:32
I'll tell you next time.
