Alice in Wonderland

By Lewis Carroll and Rasul Rasulov

Alice, the little beauty, decides to go on a trip to a beautiful valley. There she plays the whole day. When she is tired, she falls asleep. All of a sudden, Alice sees a rabbit running. He is carrying a big watch in his hand.

"He is smartly dressed. I think he is going to a party. Let me follow him," says Alice to herself. Alice follows the rabbit.   Then, they reach a tree with a big hole in it. The rabbit enters into that hole.   Alice follows him into the hole. As soon as she steps in, she begins falling down deep.    

When Alice lands, she sees how rabbit is running far away. She doesn’t think but runs after him. She runs and runs and soon becomes very tired. Rabbit runs  away. She is all alone.

Alice sees a beautiful valley around her. There are wonderful  fields with colourful  flowers, rivers with clean blue water and high white mountains at the horizon.  In the distance Alice notices a splendid castle with the towers that are sparkling from the sun rays. The landscape is peaceful and queit.

Suddenly, the strong wind blows and the sky turns black. Alice hears a strange scream and she looks upon the sky. A giant dragon is flying across the sky. It is very awful, ugly and scary. The dragon flies to the castle.

Some hours later, Alice comes to the castle too. She meets the king and queen of that kingdom. The king’s name is Allan, the queen’s name is Violette. They tells Alice a sad story.

Once upon a time, many years ago, queen Violette bore a beautiful daughter. Her name was Floret. It was the happiest time for a queen and her husband.  Their daughter grew up the most beautiful girl in the whole kingdom.

But when princess was 13  years old, the hard times came. The ugly dragon started to destroy the fields, houses and cattle. It flew over the kingdom and frightened people. All people were scared and sat in the cellars.

The king collected army and went to kill the dragon. The dragon burnt all the soldiers with fire. Then it flew to the  wounded king and wanted to burn him also. But the king said: “Live me alive and I’ll do everything what you ask for. The dragon answered: I agree. I’ll leave you and your kingdom but swear that in 5 years  when I come back , you’ll  fulfill my desire”. The king said: “I promise”.

So the dragon flew away. The king Allan, queen Violette and their daughter

Floret lived happily. But yesterday, when the king’s family had a breakfast , they heard a noise in the yard. It was dragon. He came to ask for his wish.

The dragon said: I came for my wish. The king said: “Yes, you can take all my gold and gem stones”. Everything you want. But the dragon  grinned and  added: “No. I don’t need your money and treasures. All I need is your beautiful daughter”.

The king was amazed, he begged to leave his daughter and take another girl. The dragon’s wish was the same. The king asked dragon to give them time to say goodbye to Floret. The dragon flew away but today he will come back for their dearest daughter….

Alice listens to this sad story and asks to meet with Floret. When the princess comes in, Alice sees that the girl looks very similar to her. The princess has the same blue eyes and fair hair. King and queen also notice this.

Alice says: “We look alike, so you can give me to the dragon. I’ll deal with him”. Allan and Violette doesn’t want to give Alice to dragon, but they strongly love their daughter.

 Next morning dragon flies, takes Alice ( as he thinks it is a princess) to his cave. When they come to his cave, the dragon wants to eat the girl. But Alice says: “Wait, let me cook dinner  for you , you can eat me later”.  The dragon agrees and gives  Alice a killed buffalo. Alice cooks meat for dragon. She is so tired that she lays in the corner of the cave and falls asleep…
