Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Chapter 2
Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and
found the White Rabbit was still in sight. She was close behind it when she turned the
corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen. She found herself in a long, low hall.
There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked.
Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out
again.
Suddenly, she came upon a little threelegged table. There was nothing on it but
a tiny golden key, and Alice's 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. However, on

behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was
pleased to find it fitted!
