what happened to you ? tell us all about it . '' Last came a little feeble squeaking voice , -LRB- `` that 's Bill '' thought Alice , -RRB- which said `` well , I hardly know -- I 'm all of a fluster myself -- something comes at me like a Jack-in-the-box , and the next minute up I goes like a rocket ! '' `` And so you did , old fellow ! '' said the other voices . `` We must burn the house down ! '' said the voice of the rabbit , and Alice called out as loud as she could `` if you do , I 'll set Dinah at you ! '' This caused silence again , and while Alice was thinking `` but how can I get Dinah here ? '' she found to her great delight that she was getting smaller : very soon she was able to get up out of the uncomfortable position in which she had been lying , and in two or three minutes more she was once more three inches high . She ran out of the house as quick as she could , and found quite a crowd of little animals waiting outside -- guinea-pigs , white mice , squirrels , and `` Bill '' a little green lizard , that was being supported in the arms of one of the guinea-pigs , while another was giving it something out of a bottle . They all made a rush at her the moment she appeared , but Alice ran her hardest , and soon found herself in a thick wood . -LSB- Illustration -RSB- Chapter III -LSB- Illustration -RSB- `` The first thing I 've got to do , '' said Alice to herself , as she wandered about in the wood , `` is to grow to my right size , and the second thing is to find my way into that lovely garden . I think that will be the best plan . '' It sounded an excellent plan , no doubt , and very neatly and simply arranged : the only difficulty was , that she had not the smallest idea how to set about it , and while she was peering anxiously among the trees round her , a little sharp bark just over her head made her look up in a great hurry . An enormous puppy was looking down at her with large round eyes , and feebly stretching out one paw , trying to reach her : `` poor thing ! '' said Alice in a coaxing tone , and she tried hard to whistle to it , but she was terribly alarmed all the while at the thought that it might be hungry , in which case it would probably devour her in spite of all her coaxing . Hardly knowing what she did , she picked up a little bit of stick , and held it out to the puppy : whereupon the puppy jumped into the air off all its feet at once , and with a yelp of delight rushed at the stick , and made believe to worry it then Alice dodged behind a great thistle to keep herself from being run over , and , the moment she appeared at the other side , the puppy made another dart at the stick , and tumbled head over heels in its hurry to get hold : then Alice , thinking it was very like having a game of play with a cart-horse , and expecting every moment to be trampled under its feet , ran round the thistle again : then the puppy begin a series of short charges at the stick , running a very little way forwards each time and a long way back , and barking hoarsely all the while , till at last it sat down a good way off , panting , with its tongue hanging out of its mouth , and its great eyes half shut . This seemed to Alice a good opportunity for making her escape . She set off at once , and ran till the puppy 's bark sounded quite faint in the distance , and till she was quite tired and out of breath . `` And yet what a dear little puppy it was ! ''
said XXXXX , as she leant against a buttercup to rest herself , and fanned herself with her hat .
