Bored! How can you get bored Tofu?

Why don’t you write a story of your own?

I can’t just think up a story Tia. Especially when I am so bored.

Looks like you haven’t heard of Alice In Wonderland

Once sunny day, Alice was sitting next to her sister

while she was reading

Her sister had been reading books all morning

and Alice was very bored now.

She thought for a while and decided to ask her sister to stop reading.

She was about to do that when she saw a little white rabbit

with pink eyes run past her.

I’m late! I have to hurry! I’m late!

Saying so he ran into his rabbit hole.

Alice was suddenly interested in this turn of events

and she decided to follow the rabbit

She went to his rabbit hole and peered down it

Suddenly, the hole gave away and Alice fell into it

She kept falling for what seemed like a very long time.

Will I ever stop falling! What kind of a strange hole is this?

At last she landed with a thud

in a big empty room

The room had three doors of different sizes

She saw the rabbit outside the smallest door before it closed shut

But the door was very tiny

No bigger than Alice’s new pencil back home.

I must get on the other side of that door.

But how will I do that? It is so small.

Then Alice noticed a small table in the corner of the room

She went to it to find a small bottle of pink potion with the label

‘drink me’ on it

Next to it was a small little key

the size of the smallest door’s lock.

I think this key belongs to that door.

I wonder what this potion will do to me.

Let me try.

And so the Alice took the key in one hand

and drank the potion from the bottle.

Suddenly

Alice could no longer see the top of the table

The empty bottle of the pink potion became too heavy for her

and fell out of her hand.

She was shrinking!

What is happening to me? I am shrinking!

Once Alice was small enough to go through the smallest door

the shrining stopped

Alice quickly ran to the door, opened it

and ran out.

She found herself in the most beautiful garden, she had ever seen

But she could not enjoy it because she was so tiny

and all the flowers and plants were so big!

Oh! I wish I were bigger!

Hearing her, the White Rabbit came to her

and ordered her rather rudely.

Go to my house and get me my gloves and fan!

Alice didn’t know why the rabbit was so rude to her

Perhaps he didn’t like being followed.

Nevertheless, she decided to follow the instructions

because she was curious

and wanted to see the rabbit’s house.

When she entered the rabbit’s home

she saw a yummy looking cake on the kitchen top

It has a sticker on its plate that said ‘Eat Me’

Alice was really hungry by now

She’d even missed lunch!

So she decided to eat the cake

As soon as she took one bite, she started growing again!

Soon she would not fit into the house

She could not see the rabbit’s gloves anywhere

but grabbed his fan and decided to run out of the house

As soon as she came out, she started shrinking again!

Oh no! What is this! Will I ever be back to my normal size again?

One of my mushroom makes you grow tall

and other side makes you shrink.

Alice turned to see who was talking to her

It was a caterpillar sitting on a mushroom.

She quickly ate a piece from the side he was pointing

and came back to her normal size.

She thanked him for his help and asked

How do I get back home? Could you please tell me that?

That path leads to the Mad Hatter

and the other one to the Rabbit’s home.

This time it was a cat that sat in the tree, that spoke

Alice thanked him

and took the path to the Mad Hatter

She didn’t want to meet the rude rabbit again.

I will meet you in the evening at the Queen’s Palace!

Halt!

To go further, you must answer my question correctly.

oh! I love riddles! Please do ask me your question.

Tell me why is a raven like a writing desk

Alice thought for a while

but she did not know the answer to the riddle

Oh! I don't know the answer to your question.

Could you tell me why?

The Mad Hatter was taken a back

Never had anyone asked him the answer to his own riddle

Oh well! I don’t know either!

We don’t know anything here

You can go ahead on the path

Hence, Alice proceeded to the Queen’s castle

where a game of croquet was on

The Queen was very unkind and unreasonable

If she didn’t like someone, she would instruct her soldiers

to ‘be off with his or her heads!’ immediately

Her guards had made a mistake earlier in the day

and so she had turned them into cards for the game

When the Queen saw Alice

she instructed her to play with her.

You will play with croquet with me

and if I lose, it will be off with the head for you!

Yes, Your Majesty

Alice was very careful

but the Queen was terrible at the game

And Alice had to try really hard to lose!

Hah! You lost! If I like, I will have your head for it!

A trumpet sounded far off and the White Rabbit hopped forward.

The royal court is now in session and you will be tried

Tried? For what? I haven’t even done anything!

You have been accused of stealing heart shaped

tarts from the Queen’s kitchen

First you don’t know how to play croquet

and then you dare steal tarts from my kitchen! You should be punished.

Off with her head!

This is silly!

I haven’t even stolen anything!

I just reached the castle and started playing with the Queen.

She looked at the White Rabbit

the Mad Hatter

the Caterpillar

and the Cheshire Cat

They were all looking at her and smiling.

What is going on?

Alice felt someone tapping her arm.

It was her sister

Wake up Alice.

You fell asleep sitting next to me.

It is time for lunch

Oh! What a strange dream I had.

I promise I will never complain of being bored while you read!

That is such a strange story Tia!

Next time you sit to read

I too will write my own story instead of getting bored!

Okay! But I have to be the first one you tell it to!

okay! Tofu?

yes
