personal protective equipment was beginning to get very tired of sitting by personal protective equipment sister on the bank and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book personal protective equipment sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, and what is the use of a book, thought personal protective equipment, without pictures or conversations?
So she was considering, in personal protective equipment own mind (as well as personal protective equipment could, for the hot day made personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment with pink eyes ran close by personal protective equipment.
There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did personal protective equipment think it so very much out of the way to hear the personal protective equipment say to itself Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be too late! (when personal protective equipment thought it over afterwards it occurred to personal protective equipment that personal protective equipment ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the personal protective equipment actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, personal protective equipment started to personal protective equipment feet, for it flashed across personal protective equipment mind that personal protective equipment had never before seen a personal protective equipment with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, personal protective equipment ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large personal protective equipment-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went personal protective equipment after it, never once considering how in the world personal protective equipment was to get out again.The personal protective equipment-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that personal protective equipment had not a moment to think about stopping herself before personal protective equipment found herself falling down what seemed to be a very deep well.
Either the well was very deep, or personal protective equipment fell very slowly, for personal protective equipment had plenty of time as personal protective equipment went down to look about personal protective equipment, and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, personal protective equipment tried to look down and make out what personal protective equipment was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything: then personal protective equipment looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves: here and there personal protective equipment saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. personal protective equipment took down ajar from one of the shelves as personal protective equipment passed: it was labeled ORANGE MARMALADE but to personal protective equipment great disappointment it was empty: personal protective equipment did not like to drop the jar, for fear of killing somebody underneath, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as personal protective equipment fell past it.
Well! thought personal protective equipment 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? personal protective equipment 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, personal protective equipment had learnt several things of this sort in personal protective equipment lessons in the school-room, and though this was not a very good opportunity for showing off personal protective equipment knowledge, as there was no one to listen to personal protective equipment, 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? (personal protective equipment had not the slightest idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but personal protective equipment thought they were nice grand words to say.)
Presently personal protective equipment 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- (personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment tried to curtsey as personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment soon began talking again. Dinahll miss me very much to-night, I should think! (Dinah was the cat.) I hope theyll remember personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment couldnt answer either question, it didnt much matter which way personal protective equipment put it. personal protective equipment felt that personal protective equipment was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that personal protective equipment was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and was saying to personal protective equipment, very earnestly, Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat? when suddenly, thump! thump! down personal protective equipment came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.
personal protective equipment was not a bit hurt, and personal protective equipment jumped up on to personal protective equipment feet in a moment: personal protective equipment looked up, but it was all dark overhead: before personal protective equipment was another long passage, and the White personal protective equipment was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went personal protective equipment 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! personal protective equipment was close behind it when personal protective equipment turned the comer, but the personal protective equipment was no longer to be seen: personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, personal protective equipment walked sadly down the middle, wondering how personal protective equipment was ever to get out again.
Suddenly personal protective equipment came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass: there was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and personal protective equipments 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, personal protective equipment came upon a low curtain personal protective equipment had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: personal protective equipment tried the little golden key in the lock, and to personal protective equipment great delight it fitted!
personal protective equipment opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: personal protective equipment knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How personal protective equipment longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but personal protective equipment could not even get personal protective equipment head through the doorway; and even if my head would go through, thought poor personal protective equipment, 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 personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment went back to the table, half hoping personal protective equipment might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time personal protective equipment found a little bottle on it, (which certainly was not here before, said personal protective equipment), 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 personal protective equipment was not going to do that in a hurry. No, Ill look first, personal protective equipment said, and see whether its marked poison or not; for personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment 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), personal protective equipment very soon finished it off.
What a curious feeling! said personal protective equipment. I must be shutting up like a telescope!
And so it was indeed: personal protective equipment was now only ten inches high, and personal protective equipment face brightened up at the thought that personal protective equipment was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, personal protective equipment waited for a few minutes to see if personal protective equipment was going to shrink any further: personal protective equipment felt a little nervous about this; for it might end, you know, said personal protective equipment to herself; in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then? And personal protective equipment tried to fancy what the flame of a candle looks like after the candle is blown out, for personal protective equipment could not remember ever having seen such a thing.
After a while, finding that nothing more happened, personal protective equipment decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor personal protective equipment! when personal protective equipment got to the door, personal protective equipment found personal protective equipment had forgotten the little golden key, and when personal protective equipment went back to the table for it, personal protective equipment found personal protective equipment could not possibly reach it: personal protective equipment could see it quite plainly through the glass, and personal protective equipment tried personal protective equipment best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when personal protective equipment had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.
Come, theres no use in crying like that! said personal protective equipment to herself rather sharply. I advise you to leave off this minute! personal protective equipment generally gave herself very good advice (though personal protective equipment very seldom followed it), and sometimes personal protective equipment scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into personal protective equipment eyes; and once personal protective equipment remembered trying to box personal protective equipment own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet personal protective equipment was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. But its no use now, thought poor personal protective equipment, to pretend to be two people! Why, theres hardly enough of me left to make one respectable person!
Soon personal protective equipment eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: personal protective equipment opened it, and found in it a very small personal protective equipment, on which the words EAT ME were beautifully marked in currants. Well, Ill eat it, said personal protective equipment, 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!
personal protective equipment ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself Which way? Which way?, holding personal protective equipment hand on the top of personal protective equipment head to feel which way it was growing; and personal protective equipment was quite surprised to find that personal protective equipment remained the same size. To be sure, this is what generally happens when one eats personal protective equipment; but personal protective equipment 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 personal protective equipment set to work, and very soon finished off the personal protective equipment.
