CHAPTER 12; Alice testifies; “Here” cald Alice. she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box. all the jurors flew up and fell on the heads of the crowd. “Oh, pardon me” she said. king told her, “The trial cannot proceed, until all of them sit in the box. all,” he repeated. +she rushed to obey him +she feared they were like fish out of the water bowl adding urgency to quickly return them. when she put the the last one in, King asked Alice, “What do you know about this?” a: “Nothing whatever.” k read from his book, “Rule Forty-two. All persons more than a mile tall must exit the court.” [3m in long] ==a: “I’m not a mile high,” said Alice. q: “Nearly two miles high.” a: “I will not exit. i shall not go out. i won’t.” The King's face turned pale. he shut his note-book hastily and said to jury, "Consider your verdict.” the White Rabbit jumped up in a great hurry and begged, “more evidence will come, please your Majesty. this paper came now. it seems that he wrote it." pointing at prisoner.
n, “Please your Majesty, I didn’t write it. no name was signed at the end.” k“You must have meant some mischief, or else you’d have signed your name like an honest man.” the spectators clapped hands. a', “no. you don’t even know what was written. i will tell you. [differ and flaws in rythm "character and obstacle fail and rare so i fixed a bit]
“They told me what you gave to her,
she walked with us to him
She went and said, "go now dear sir"
you said "I cannot swim."
He told them we had never gone
they knew that this was true
we must not stop, continue on
What could they do to you?
I gave her one, he gave her two
she took so many more
They all returned from her to you,
when i walked through the door
My item sat on grass so green
Before she had a fit
a very tiny crumb was seen
i hope she won't see it.
k, “That’s the most important proof.” a' "It does not have any meaning.” k, “If it does not have meaning, that saves time. we needn’t try to find any. jury, consider the verdict.” q, “No, no, no, sentence first. before verdict.” a' loudly argued, “nonsense, verdict first." q, "stop talking” and her face turnd purple. a, “I won’t.” q' shouted, “Off with her head” [censor] a' “You’re only playing cards." the cards jumped up and came down on Alice. she screamed, half with fright and half with anger. she saw she was lying with her head on her sister's dress. dead leaves had fallen from the tree on Al's face. s' “Alice dear, you had a long sleep.”
“Oh, i met strange animals and beings, had odd experiences and even some danger" both heard long grass swish as the White Rabbit ran. the Mouse splashed in the pool. a shrill voice, the Queen ordering execution. the squeaking of the Lizard’s slate-pencil. the choking of the bagged guinea-pigs, the sobs of the Mock Turtle. the older sister sat with closed eyes, and half believed herself in Wonderland. knowing the dull reality the grass only moved in the wind. the rattling teacups were sheep-bells. the Queen’s shrill cries were the voice of the shepherd boy with sheep by farm yard.
all the other noises if she opened her eyes would change to the noises of the busy farm yard. the distant lowing of cattle would take the place of the Mock Turtle’s heavy sobs that that you read about. After al told her story, she ran indoors and knew what a wonderful dream it had been. END ab' version.
