[00:00.81] | ■ 4 The Cheshire Cat |
[00:05.34] | There was a boy outside the door,with a large letter in his hand. |
[00:12.23] | (He was dressed like a boy,but his face was very like a fish,Alice thought.) |
[00:20.35] | The Fish-Boy knocked at the door, |
[00:23.12] | and a second later a large plate came flying out of an open window. |
[00:29.98] | 'A letter for the Duchess,'the Fish-Boy shouted. |
[00:36.41] | He pushed the letter under the door and went away. |
[00:40.93] | Alice went up to the door and knocked, |
[00:45.87] | but there was a lot of noise inside and nobody answered. |
[00:50.80] | So she opened the door and walked in. |
[00:55.22] | She found herself in a kitchen,which was full of smoke. |
[01:01.84] | There was a very angry cook by the fire, |
[01:06.60] | and in the middle of the room sat the Duchess,holding a screaming baby. |
[01:11.93] | Every few minutes a plate crashed to the floor. |
[01:16.72] | There was also a large cat,which was sitting on a chair and grinning from ear to ear. |
[01:24.78] | 'Please,'Alice said politely to the Duchess,'why does your cat grin like that?' |
[01:34.88] | 'It's a Cheshire Cat,'said the Duchess.'That's why.' |
[01:42.63] | 'I didn't know that cats could grin,'said Alice.'Well,you don't know much,' |
[01:51.27] | said the Duchess.Another plate crashed to the floor and Alice jumped. |
[01:57.34] | 'Here!'the Duchess went on .'You can hold the baby for a bit,if you like. |
[02:05.82] | The Queen has invited me to play croquet,and I must go and get ready.' |
[02:12.72] | She pushed the baby into Alice's arms and hurried out of the room. |
[02:20.12] | 'Oh,the poor little thing!' |
[02:23.67] | said Alice,looking at the baby,which had a very strange face. |
[02:29.78] | She took it outside into the wood and walked around under the trees. |
[02:36.68] | Then the baby began to make strange noises,and Alice looked into its face again. |
[02:45.30] | Its eyes were really very small for a baby, |
[02:51.19] | and its nose now looked very like the nose of a pig. |
[02:55.98] | 'Don't make noises like that,my dear,'said Alice.'It's not polite. |
[03:03.83] | You're beginning to sound like a pig.' |
[03:07.55] | But a few minutes later,there was no mistake.It was a pig. |
[03:14.48] | Alice put it carefully on the ground, |
[03:18.31] | and it ran quietly away on its four legs into the wood. |
[03:23.91] | 'I'm pleased about that,'Alice said to herself.'It will be a good-looking pig, |
[03:32.67] | but it would be terrible to be a child with a face like that. |
[03:38.07] | She was thinking about pigs and children when she suddenly saw the Cheshire Cat in a tree. |
[03:49.73] | The Cat grinned at her,and she went nearer to it. |
[03:55.04] | 'Please,'she said,'can you tell me which way to go from here?' |
[04:02.56] | 'But where do you want to get to?'said the Cat. |
[04:11.77] | 'It doesn't really matter—'began Alice. |
[04:15.85] | 'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,'said the Cat. |
[04:23.05] | 'But I would like to get somewhere,'Alice explained. |
[04:30.68] | 'If you just go on walking,'said the Cat,'in the end you'll arrive somewhere.' |
[04:42.03] | That was true,thought Alice,but not very helpful,so she tried another question. |
[04:51.19] | 'What kind of people live near here?' |
[04:56.98] | 'To the left,'the Cat said,'lives a Hatter.And to the right,lives a March Hare. |
[05:09.12] | You can visit either of them.They're both mad.' |
[05:15.28] | 'But I don't want to visit mad people,'said Alice. |
[05:20.93] | 'We're all mad here,you know,'said the Cat.'I'm mad.You're mad.' |
[05:31.93] | 'How do you know that I'm mad?'said Alice. |
[05:37.15] | 'Of course you're mad,'said the Cat.'Only mad people come here.' |
[05:47.19] | Alice was thinking about this,but the Cat went on, |
[05:55.12] | 'Are you playing croquet with the Queen today?' |
[06:01.35] | 'I would like to very much,'said Alice,'but nobody has invited me yet.' |
[06:10.91] | 'You'll see me there,'said the Cat,and vanished. |
[06:17.37] | Alice was not really surprised at this, |
[06:22.33] | because so many strange things were happening today. |
[06:28.28] | She was still looking at the tree when,suddenly,the Cat appeared again. |
[06:35.92] | 'I forgot to ask,'said the Cat.'What happened to the baby?' |
[06:45.12] | 'It turned into a pig,'Alice said.' |
[06:49.11] | I'm not surprised,'said the Cat,and vanished again. |
[06:59.98] | Alice began to walk on,and decided to visit the March Hare. |
[07:07.61] | 'It's the month of May now,'she said to herself, |
[07:12.16] | 'so perhaps the Hare won't be as mad as he was in March.' |
[07:18.18] | Suddenly,there was the Cheshire Cat again,sitting in another tree. |
[07:24.34] | Alice jumped in surprise.'Do you think,'she said politely, |
[07:31.93] | 'that you could come and go more slowly?' |
[07:35.69] | 'All right,'said the Cat.And this time it vanished very slowly. |
[07:45.30] | First its tail went,then its body,then its head,and last,the grin. |
[07:55.36] | 'Well!I've often seen a cat without a grin,'thought Alice, |
[08:00.68] | 'but never a grin without a cat!' |
[08:04.24] | Soon she saw the house of the March Hare in front of her.It was a large house, |
[08:11.75] | so she ate a little piece of mushroom to get bigger,and walked on. |
