Some travellers brought me. They had found me in a forest, nearly

dead. Someone had tried to kill me. He had hurt my head very badly.

That is why I do not remember anything about myself. I only know

my name."

The King was then sure that the young man was the boy whom he

had ordered William to kill. He asked the ruler of the country for

the young man. When he went away to his own country he took Robert

with him.

One day the King sent for Robert.

"Go to 'The House of the Rose'," he said, "and take this letter.

Give it to the Captain of my soldiers who are there. Be careful!

Give it only to the Captain. Then do what he tells you to do."

Robert mounted his horse and rode through the fields to 'The

House of the Rose'. There was a big garden in front of the house.

By the door of the gar- den a soldier was standing.

When he saw Robert he said, "Who are you and what do you want?"

"I have a letter from the King," said Robert. "I must give it

to the Captain."

"The Captain is eating now, and you must wait," said the soldier.

" But you look tired. Leave your horse here. You may go into the

garden and sit down. I will call you when the Captain comes."

Robert went into the garden. It was a quiet, beautiful place,

full of flowers and fine trees. There were some red fishes swimming

in some water. Robert looked at them for a time. Then, feeling tired,

he sat down under a tree. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

A short time later, Princess Dora and Mary came into the garden.

They walked on the soft, green grass for a time. Then the Princess

sat down to rest while Mary walked about by herself She came near

to the place where Robert was sleeping. When she saw him, she

stopped and looked at him carefully. She had never seen such a

fine-looking young man.

"This is the man whom the Princess should marry," she said.

She then went quickly back to where the Princess was standing.

"I think that your Prince has come," she said.

"What do you mean?" said Princess Dora.

"Come and see for yourself," said Mary. "A Fine young man,

asleep. If he is not a prince, he looks as fine as any prince in

the world."

Mary then led the Princess to where Robert lay sleeping. When

Dora saw him, love came to her heart. The Princess thought, " I

shall never love any other man." She stood looking at him for some

time, and then she turned her eyes to Mary. She saw that Mary was

reading a letter. It was a letter that had fallen from the young

man's hand. As she was reading the letter, Mary's face became white

with fear.

"What is that letter you are reading?" asked the Princess.

" Take it and read it for yourself. It is sad for such a thing

to happen to so fine a young man."

The Princess took the letter and read it. This is what she read:

"To my Captain, at 'The House of the Rose'. 1, the King, order you

to put to death the one who carries this letter. All such bad men

should die."

Princess Dora was very afraid. She looked at Mary for a time.

Then she said, "Wait near him till I come back. If he wakes up,

hide him. Do not let anyone see him."

Then she ran quickly to her room and took a pen and a clean

piece of paper. She sat down and began to write.

This is what Princess Dora wrote on the paper: "To my Captain

at 'The House of the Rose'. I send you my best wishes. I want my

daughter to marry the man who carries this letter. Do not wait.

Let her marry. him quickly. When I come I want to find them married.

These are the orders of your King."

She went back to the garden and showed the letter to Mary. Then

they put the letter near the hand of the young man and went away.

They sat waiting in another part of the garden. Both were very

afraid.

Mary said, "Let us not be afraid. We must finish what we have

begun. I feel in my heart that you will be very happy."

After a time they heard the sound of voices. The Captain and

the young man were coming.

" Princess," said the Captain, " this is a letter from your

father the King. Please read it for yourself."

When Robert looked at the Princess, his heart was filled with

love. He had never seen such a beautiful young woman. She read the

letter and then looked at him. .

" I shall be pleased to do as my father orders. Something tells

me that we shall find happiness together. Let us be married

tomorrow."

Robert was very surprised when he heard what was in the letter.

He said, "I am ready to give my life for the King and to serve him

till I die. The King wishes us to be married; I know that I shall

always love you, so…"

The Princess took his hand. "Tomorrow," she said.

The King waited for one day after Robert had gone, and then

mounted his horse and set out for 'The House of the Rose'.

When he came near he heard bells ringing and saw many people

dancing in the garden. He was very surprised, and did not know what

to think. He rode into the garden and saw his daughter walking hand

in hand with Robert. Behind them was the Captain of the soldiers.

Seeing the King, Dora and Robert stopped. The Captain came forward

to help the King get off his horse.

" 0 King," he said, " I have done as you ordered. Your daughter

the Princess and Prince Robert are married."

All the people shouted with happiness and threw their hats into

the air. The King stood still looking at his daughter and Robert.

Then a look of happiness came to his face.

"It is the wish of God," he said. "This man was born to be king."

Then the King took his daughter's hand and kissed her. He also

took the hand of Robert. Then he turned to the people. "This is

your new Prince," he said. " I know that it is the wish of God that

he should become your King. This is the happiest day of my life.

Sing, dance, and be happy."

The people shouted loudly and began to dance again. The King

took the hand of his daughter and Robert and passed through the

happy people into 'The House of the Rose'.

Alice in Wonderland

Lewis Carroll 原著

D. K. Swan 简写

Down the Rabbit Hole

Alice and her big sister were sitting on the grass. Her sister

was reading a book, but Alice had nothing to read. She looked at

her sister's book again. There were no pictures in it.

"What good is a book without pictures?" She wondered.

It was a very hot day, and Alice wondered what to do. " I'm

so sleepy," she said to herself. " Shall I look for some flowers,

or is it too hot?"

She saw a leaf falling from a tree, but she was too sleepy to

look at it.

Just then, a white rabbit ran by, very near to her. That does

not happen every day, but Alice did not wonder about it. She did

not wonder very much even when the rabbit said to itself, "Oh! Oh!

I shall be too late!"

But she did wonder when the rabbit took a watch out of its pocket

and looked at it.

"A rabbit with a pocket?" Alice asked herself. "And a watch

in it?"

She jumped up and ran after the White Rabbit. She was just in

time to see him go down a big rabbit hole.

Alice went into the hole too. She didn't stop to wonder how

she could get out again.

The rabbit hole went along just under the ground, and then…

Alice was falling … down…down… down.

She was not falling quickly. She had time to wonder 'What's

going to happen next?" She looked down, but there was no light

there.

Down, down, down. "Oh!" she said, "it's a long way. I shall

never be afraid of falling again. I wonder where the hole will come

out.

Down, down, down. "Will Dinah wonder where I am tonight?" Alice

asked herself. (Dinah was Alice's cat.) 'Will they remember her

milk at tea time? Oh, Dinah! Why aren't you here with me? There

are no mice here, but there may be some bats. Do cats eat bats,

I wonder?" Alice was beginning to get sleepy. "Do cats eat bats?"

she asked herself. "Do cats eat bats?" And sometimes she asked,

"Do bats eat cats?"

Thump! Bump! Alice came down on something that was not very

hard.

She sat up quickly. She could still see the White Rabbit, far

away along the rabbit hole.

" Run!" Alice told herself, and she ran very quickly after the

White Rabbit,

"Oh, my ears!" she heard him say. "How late it's getting!" Then

he went quickly through an opening at the side of the rabbit hole.

Alice ran through the opening. She was in a long hall, and she

could not see the White Rabbit.

There were doors on every side of the hall, but she could not

open any of them, and she could not find the opening from the rabbit

hole.

"What can I do?" she wondered. Then she saw a little table.

It was a glass table, and there was a very small golden key on it.

" Will it open one of the doors?" she wondered. She went to all

the doors, but the key was much too small to open any of them. "It

must open something," she told herself.

Then she saw a very little door, hidden near one of the big

doors. The little key opened it. Alice put her head down and looked

through it into a very beautiful garden. She could see a lot of

flowers and grass, and she wanted to go there. But the door was

much too small. Sadly she shut it again and took the key back to

the table.

"Why can't I become smaller?" Alice wondered. "It's not like

home here-it's more magic-so there must be a way to get smaller."

She looked at the glass table. There was a little bottle on it.

("That was not on the table before," Alice told herself.) She read

a note on the bottle. It was in very good, big writing: "Drink me'.

" I shall try just a little," Alice said, " a very little."

She tried it, and it was very nice. She drank some more.

" Oh! My feet are much smaller and much nearer," Alice said.

"I must be very small now."

She was. "Now I can go through the little door." she told

herself

She went to the door, but she could not open it, and the key

was on the glass table. She could see it through the glass, but

she was now much too small to get it. She tried to get to it up

one of the glass legs, but she could not.

The poor little girl sat down and cried.

"Alice! Alice!" she said bravely. "It's no good crying like

that. Stop it at once!" She sometimes spoke to herself like that,

but it did not help her this time. She was still crying when she

saw a little glass box under the table.

Alice opened the box. There was a very small cake in it. "Eat

me", she read.

"Yes, I shall eat it," Alice said. "If I grow bigger after that,

I can get the key. If I grow smaller, I can get under the door into

the garden." So she ate the cake.

The Pool of Tears

Alice grew bigger. "How quickly I'm growing!" she said. And

then, "Oh!" she cried, as her head hit the ceiling.

"I must go into that garden," she thought. "This hall is too

small for me now."

She took the little golden key and went quickly to the garden

door. She was much too big to go through it.

Poor Alice! She sat down and began to cry again. Because she

was so big, the tears that fell from her eyes were very big too.

They made a big pool.

"Stop crying!" Alice told herself. "You're a big girl (and she

was big — very big) and you mustn't cry." But she couldn't stop

the big tears, and soon there was a pool of tears all round her.

After a time, she heard little feet running towards her, and

then she saw the White Rabbit coming back. He had his best clothes

on, and he had two very clean white gloves in one hand and a fan

in his other hand.

" Oh, the Duchess, the Duchess!" Alice heard him saying. "How

angry she'll be becuase I'm late!"

Alice wanted to ask him for help. She tried to speak in her

nicest way as she said, "Please—'

The White Rabbit jumped. The word came from the ceiling, and

he was afraid. He ran away as quickly as he could, and the gloves

and the fan fell from his hands.

Alice took up the very small gloves and the fan. It was hot

in the hall, so she began to fan herself with the fan.

"Am I changed?" she wondered. "I was myself yesterday, but

things are not the same today. If I'm not me, who am I? I don't

want to be my friend Mabel because she doesn't know very much. I

know much more than she does," Alice stopped. " Do I know more?"

she wondered. "I'll try. I'll try to say four times. Four times

one is four. Four times two is eight. Four times three is nine,

Four times four is— Oh!" She began to cry again.

They were only small tears. One of them fell on her hand, and

she looked down. There was a glove on the other hand.

She had put one of the White Rabbit's little gloves on.

"How can I have done that?" she thought. "I must be growing

small."

She stood up and walked to the table again. "I'll see how big

I am," she said.

The table was a long way up. Alice was very small and she was

quickly becoming smaller. "The fan!" she thought. "The fan's making

me smaller." She threw it down.

"I'm so small that I can go through the door." she thought,

and she ran towards it. She had not run far when-splash-she fell

into a lot of water. "I have fallen into the sea," she thought.

It wasn't the sea. It was the pool of tears that she had made

when she was very big.

"Why did I cry so much?" Alice said.

She heard something splashing about in the pool near her. "It

must be a very big fish or sea animal," she thought. But then she

remembered that she her- self was very small, and she soon saw that

it was a mouse that had fallen into the water.

"I wonder if it can speak," Alice thought. "This place is not

the same as home, so I'll speak to it. 0Mouse!" she said. "Do you

know the way out of this pool?"

There was no answer. "Is it a French mouse?"

Alice wondered. She tried to remember some French words. The

words that began her school French book were the words for: Where

is my cat? So she said them: "Ou est ma chatte?"

There was a great splashing, and the Mouse moved away as quickly

as he could.

" Oh!" Alice cried. " Please don't be angry! I didn't remember

that mice don't like cats."

"Don't like cats!" the Mouse said. (He was very angry.) 'Would

you like cats if you were me?"

"No," Alice said. "No. But I think you would like Dinah. She

is a nice, dear thing." Alice was speaking mostly to herself. "She
