THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
CHAPTER THREE
Of course the first thing to do was to make a grand survey of the country she was going to travel through. `It’s something very like learning geography,’ thought Alice, as she stood on tiptoe in hopes of being able to see a little further. `Principal rivers — there are [...]

CHAPTER TWO - THE GARDEN OF LIVE FLOWERS
`I should see the garden far better,’ said Alice to herself, `if I could get to the top of that hill: and here’s a path that leads straight to it — at least, no, it doesn’t do that — ‘ (after going a few [...]

CHAPTER ONE
One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it: — it was the black kitten’s fault entirely. For the white kitten had been having its face washed by the old cat for the last quarter of an hour (and bearing it pretty well, considering); so [...]

 In 1876 Lewis Carroll, the author of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, wrote this letter entitled “An Easter Greeting to Every Child Who Loves Alice.”
Dear Child,
Please to fancy, if you can, that you are reading a real letter, from a real friend whom you have seen, and whose voice you can seem to yourself to [...]

It is generally considered to be one of the greatest nonsense poems written in the English language. This poem is used in many schools to teach [...]
 This was posted on one of my forums by a 15 year old. I started reading it expecting some horrible self indulgent drivel. What I read instead is very beautiful I think. Not telling anyone what to do, just sharing it as food for thought.

It doesn’t say anyplace but I’m sure the farmer was Norwegian.
THE DUCK AND THE LAWYER
A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural Nebraska. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer’s field on the other side of a fence.
As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up [...]

CHAPTER XII - Final Chapter
Alice’s Evidence
`Here!’ cried Alice, quite forgetting in the flurry of the moment how large she had grown in the last few minutes, and she jumped up in such a hurry that she tipped over the jury-box with the edge of her skirt, upsetting all the jurymen on to the heads of [...]
CHAPTER XI
Who Stole the Tarts?
The King and Queen of Hearts were seated on their throne when they arrived, with a great crowd assembled about them–all sorts of little birds and beasts, as well as the whole pack of cards: the Knave was standing before them, in chains, with a soldier on each side to guard [...]
CHAPTER X
The Lobster Quadrille
The Mock Turtle sighed deeply, and drew the back of one flapper across his eyes. He looked at Alice, and tried to speak, but for a minute or two sobs choked his voice. `Same as if he had a bone in his throat,’ said the Gryphon: and it set to work shaking [...]
CHAPTER IX
The Mock Turtle’s Story
`You can’t think how glad I am to see you again, you dear old thing!’ said the Duchess, as she tucked her arm affectionately into Alice’s, and they walked off together.
Alice was very glad to find her in such a pleasant temper, and thought to herself that perhaps it was only [...]
CHAPTER VIII
The Queen’s Croquet-Ground
A large rose-tree stood near the entrance of the garden: the roses growing on it were white, but there were three gardeners at it, busily painting them red. Alice thought this a very curious thing, and she went nearer to watch them, and just as she came up to them she heard [...]
CHAPTER VII
A Mad Tea-Party
There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over [...]
