Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
A BOTTLE IN WONDERLAND
A more modern fairy story fromEngland, about a little girl, Alice, who falls asleep and dreams that she goes
to Wonderland.There she meets all sorts of strange people and animals, and many strange thingshappen to
her.
Alice was just going to leave the tidy little room, when she saw a small bottle that stood near a looking-glass.
There was no label this time with the words DRINK ME, like the bottle which had made her shrink that
morning, but she uncorked it and put it to her lips. ‘I know something interesting is sure to happen; she said
to herself, ‘whenever I eat or drink anything; so I’ll just see what this bottle does. I do hope it’ll make me
grow large again, for really I’m quite tired of being such a tiny little thing!’
It did so indeed; and much sooner than she had expected. Before she had drunk half the bottle, she
found her head pressing against the ceiling, and had to bend down to save her neck from being broken. She
hastily put down the bottle, saying to herself, ‘That’s quite enough-I hope I shan’t grow any more-as it is, I
can’t get out at the door. I do wish I hadn’t drunk quite so much!’
Alas! It was too late to wish that! She went on growing, and very soon had to kneel down on the
floor. In another minute there was not even room for this, and she had to lie down with one elbow against the
door, and the other arm curled round her head. Still she went on growing , and, finally, to find enough room,
she had to put one arm out the window, and one foot up the chimney, and then she said to herself, ‘Now I can
do no more, whatever happens. What will become of me?’
Luckily for Alice, the little magic bottle had now had its full effect,and she grew no larger. Still she
was very uncomfortable, and, as there seemed to be no chance of her ever getting out of the room again, it
was no wonder that she felt unhappy.
1. Why did Alice drink from the bottle?
2. Do you think that was the first strange bottle she had drunk from? (Give reasons for your
answer.)
3. Do you think she was her right size before she drank from the second bottle? How do you know?
4. How much of the contents of the bottle did she drink? (a) None; (b) all; (c) less than half; (d)
more than half. (Circle one).
5. What effect did the bottle have?
6. Why was it ‘too late to wish that’?
7. Why did she have to kneel down?
8. Describe her position in the end.
9. Why did she stop growing?
10. Why was she so unhappy after she had grown so large?
