industrial textiles was beginning to get very tired of sitting by industrial textiles sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book industrial textiles sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought industrial textiles, without pictures or conversations?
So she was considering, in industrial textiles own mind (as well as industrial textiles could, for the hot day made industrial textiles feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White industrial textiles with pink eyes ran close by industrial textiles.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did industrial textiles think it so very much out of the way to hear the industrial textiles say to itself Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late! (when industrial textiles thought it over afterwards it occurred to industrial textiles that industrial textiles ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the industrial textiles actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, industrial textiles started to industrial textiles feet, for it flashed across industrial textiles mind that industrial textiles had never before seen a industrial textiles with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, industrial textiles ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large industrial textiles-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went industrial textiles after it, never once considering how in the world industrial textiles was to get out again.The industrial textiles-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that industrial textiles had not a moment to think about stopping herself before industrial textiles found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or industrial textiles fell very slowly, for industrial textiles had plenty of time as industrial textiles went down to look about industrial textiles, and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, industrial textiles tried to look down and make out what industrial textiles was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything: then industrial textiles looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves: here and there industrial textiles saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. industrial textiles took down ajar from one of the shelves as industrial textiles passed: it was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE but to industrial textiles great disappointment it was empty: industrial textiles did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as industrial textiles fell past it.
Well! thought industrial textiles to herself After such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down-stairs! How brave theyll all think me at home! Why, I wouldnt say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house! (which was very likely true.)
Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end? I wonder how many miles Ive fallen by this time? industrial textiles said aloud. I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think- (for, you see, industrial textiles had learnt several things of this sort in industrial textiles lessons in the school-room, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off industrial textiles knowledge, as there was no one to listen to industrial textiles, still it was good practice to say it over) -- yes thats about the right distance -- but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude Ive got to? (industrial textiles had not the slightest idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but industrial textiles thought they were nice grand words to say.)
Presently industrial textiles began again. I wonder if I shall fall fight through the earth! How funny itll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downwards! The antipathies, I think- (industrial textiles was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didnt sound at all the right word) -but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Maam, is this New Zealand? Or Australia? (and industrial textiles tried to curtsey as industrial textiles spoke- fancy, curtseying as youre falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) And what an ignorant little girl shell think me for asking! No, itll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.
Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so industrial textiles soon began talking again. Dinahll miss me very much to-night, I should think! (Dinah was the cat.) I hope theyll remember industrial textiles saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah, my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, Im afraid, but you might catch a bat, and thats very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder? And here industrial textiles began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy son of way, Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats? and sometimes Do bats eat cats? for, you see, as industrial textiles couldnt answer either question, it didnt much matter which way industrial textiles put it. industrial textiles felt that industrial textiles was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that industrial textiles was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and was saying to industrial textiles, very earnestly, Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat? when suddenly, thump! thump! down industrial textiles came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
industrial textiles was not a bit hurt, and industrial textiles jumped up on to industrial textiles feet in a moment: industrial textiles looked up, but it was all dark overhead: before industrial textiles was another long passage, and the White industrial textiles was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went industrial textiles like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a comer, Oh my ears and whiskers, how late its getting! industrial textiles was close behind it when industrial textiles turned the comer, but the industrial textiles was no longer to be seen: industrial textiles found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.
There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when industrial textiles had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, industrial textiles walked sadly down the middle, wondering how industrial textiles was ever to get out again.
Suddenly industrial textiles came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass: there was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and industrial textiless first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, industrial textiles came upon a low curtain industrial textiles had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: industrial textiles tried the little golden key in the lock, and to industrial textiles great delight it fitted!
industrial textiles opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: industrial textiles knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How industrial textiles longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but industrial textiles could not even get industrial textiles head through the doorway; and even if my head would go through, thought poor industrial textiles, it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only knew how to begin. For, you see, so many out-of-the- way things had happened lately, that industrial textiles had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.
There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so industrial textiles went back to the table, half hoping industrial textiles might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time industrial textiles found a little bottle on it, (which certainly was not here before, said industrial textiles), and tied round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words DRINK ME beautifully printed on it in large letters.It was all very well to say Drink me, but the wise little industrial textiles was not going to do that in a hurry. No, Ill look first, industrial textiles said, and see whether its marked poison or not; for industrial textiles had read several nice little stories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts, and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that, if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and industrial textiles had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked poison, it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.However, this bottle was not marked poison, so industrial textiles ventured to taste it, and, finding it very nice (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffy, and hot buttered toast), industrial textiles very soon finished it off.
What a curious feeling! said industrial textiles. I must be shutting up like a telescope!
And so it was indeed: industrial textiles was now only ten inches high, and industrial textiles face brightened up at the thought that industrial textiles was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, industrial textiles waited for a few minutes to see if industrial textiles was going to shrink any further: industrial textiles felt a little nervous about this; for it might end, you know, said industrial textiles to herself; in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then? And industrial textiles tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for industrial textiles could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
After a while, finding that nothing more happened, industrial textiles decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor industrial textiles! when industrial textiles got to the door, industrial textiles found industrial textiles had forgotten the little golden key, and when industrial textiles went back to the table for it, industrial textiles found industrial textiles could not possibly reach it: industrial textiles could see it quite plainly through the glass, and industrial textiles tried industrial textiles best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when industrial textiles had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.
Come, theres no use in crying like that! said industrial textiles to herself rather sharply. I advise you to leave off this minute! industrial textiles generally gave herself very good advice (though industrial textiles very seldom followed it), and sometimes industrial textiles scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into industrial textiles eyes; and once industrial textiles remembered trying to box industrial textiles own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet industrial textiles was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. But its no use now, thought poor industrial textiles, to pretend to be two people! Why, theres hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!
Soon industrial textiles eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: industrial textiles opened it, and found in it a very small industrial textiles, on which the words EAT ME were beautifully marked in currants. Well, Ill eat it, said industrial textiles, and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door: so either way Ill get into the garden, and I dont care which happens!
industrial textiles ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself Which way? Which way?, holding industrial textiles hand on the top of industrial textiles head to feel which way it was growing; and industrial textiles was quite surprised to find that industrial textiles remained the same size. To be sure, this is what generally happens when one eats industrial textiles; but industrial textiles had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.
So industrial textiles set to work, and very soon finished off the industrial textiles.
