A Mad Tea-Party: Alice approached and saw the hare, the hatter, and a door-mouse squeezed together at a table, despite there being plenty of other chairs. The hatter was inquisitive and asked Alice why a raven was like a writing desk. The bunch was very difficult to understand, and they were very questioning of each other. Even Alice declared out loud that she had no idea what they were saying.
A Mad Tea-Party (cont.): The mouse fell asleep and they poured tea on his nose. No one had an answer for the hatters riddle, including the hatter. They then argued over time, as if it were a him. They talked about taking with him as well as how time could change just by asking. Then they wanted to hear a story from the mouse. The story was about sisters who lived in a well, and the mouse insisted that Alice drink some more tea, despite her not even drinking any yet.
A Mad Tea-Party (end): Alice decided to get some tea and bread with butter while the mouse continued to tell the story of the well. It didn't quite make any sense either and the bunch decided to switch chairs around the table. The mouse's story began to make even less sense and Alice decided to leave. She soon found her way back to the glass table and went through the door with the garden.
The Queen's Croquet-Ground: She saw white roses that were being painted red by life-sized playing cards. She caught their attention just as the queen was approaching. There was a large precession that Alice watched until the Queen came up to her. The Queen didn't like Alice's attitude, and she wanted to chop her head off. Luckily, the king persuaded her otherwise. Instead she wanted the heads of the gardeners, but Alice protected them secretly. Then the queen asked her to play croquette.
The Queen's Croquet-Ground (cont.): Soon everyone was lined up to play, meaning the cards as arches, hedgehogs as balls, and flamingoes as sticks. The game was obviously extremely difficult to play, as things were constantly moving and the queen kept shouting. She began to get scared, and wanted to try and escape, but then the smile of the cheshire cat appeared.
The Queen's Croquet-Ground (end): She told the cat how the game was quite unfair. Then the queen and king came along and didn't like the cat, wanting him dead. While they were away, Alice tried to play a little more, but it was still difficult. She then came across the king, queen, and executioner who were in argument about the killing of the cat, since he was just a floating head after all.
Who Stole the Tarts?: There was a trial to be started, but Alice was too busy longing for the wonderful tarts in her sight. She saw the king as the judge, the random bunch of animals as the jurors, and the white rabbit the herald. A witness was called first and it was the hatter. He was quite nervous, and even bit a tea cup instead of bread.
Who Stole the Tarts? (cont.): Just then, Alice began to grow and grow, all while the hatter was questioned. He just kept saying that he was a poor man, and hadn't known of what the judge was asking. Soon the hatter was out of the door before the queen could even have him beheaded. The next witness was the cook, who simply claimed that the tarts were made of mostly pepper. Then Alice was called to the stand.
Alice's Evidence: When Alice was called, she accidentally knocked over most of the jurors, trying to fix them as best she could. She simply stated that she knew nothing of the matter. Alice continued to grow, and they questioned it. She tried to blow it off, and just then the rabbit came with a paper written by the prisoner. The king claimed that the knave had to have written it, despite his claims otherwise.
Alice's Evidence (cont.): In the paper was what seemed to be entirely meaningless words. By this time, Alice was full grown, and this gave her reason to talk back to the queen. Of course the queen grew upset, and wanted Alice to be beheaded. Alice claimed that all the cards were simply cards, why should she fear them? But they stated to attack her just as she woke up from this dream. Her sister woke her up and offered her tea... what a curious dream!
