She had had to learn thispoem for one of her lessons once, and she knew it very well. But now, when she tried to repeat it, her voice sounded strange, and the words were all different.

“I'm sure those are not the right words,” said poor Alice, and she started to cry again, “I must be Mabel then. And they will make me live in that terrible little house, and I will have no toys, and oh! I will have to learn so many lessons! No, I made a decision. If I'm Mabel, I'll stay in this rabbit hole! They will come for me and they will try to make me come back. But I will only look at them and say, ‘Who am I then? Tell me that. Then, if I like that person, I will come up. If I will not like that person, I'll stay down here and try to become somebody else'” cried Alice, “But oh! Why don't they come for me right now and call me back home? I am soVERY tired of being all alone here!”

Suddenly she noticed one of the Rabbit's whitegloves on her hand. She put it on! “How could I do that?” she thought. “Maybe I am growing small again.” So she went to the table to check it and found that she wasn't much taller than the table now and she was continuing to get smaller and smaller. And then she understood that it was the fan in her hand and she quickly dropped it.
