[00:00.81]■ 4 The Cheshire Cat [00:05.34]There was a boy outside the door，with a large letter in his hand． [00:12.23](He was dressed like a boy，but his face was very like a fish，Alice thought．) [00:20.35]The Fish-Boy knocked at the door， [00:23.12]and a second later a large plate came flying out of an open window． [00:29.98]'A letter for the Duchess，'the Fish-Boy shouted． [00:36.41]He pushed the letter under the door and went away． [00:40.93]Alice went up to the door and knocked， [00:45.87]but there was a lot of noise inside and nobody answered． [00:50.80]So she opened the door and walked in． [00:55.22]She found herself in a kitchen，which was full of smoke． [01:01.84]There was a very angry cook by the fire， [01:06.60]and in the middle of the room sat the Duchess，holding a screaming baby． [01:11.93]Every few minutes a plate crashed to the floor． [01:16.72]There was also a large cat，which was sitting on a chair and grinning from ear to ear． [01:24.78]'Please，'Alice said politely to the Duchess，'why does your cat grin like that？' [01:34.88]'It's a Cheshire Cat，'said the Duchess．'That's why．' [01:42.63]'I didn't know that cats could grin，'said Alice．'Well，you don't know much，' [01:51.27]said the Duchess．Another plate crashed to the floor and Alice jumped． [01:57.34]'Here！'the Duchess went on ．'You can hold the baby for a bit，if you like． [02:05.82]The Queen has invited me to play croquet，and I must go and get ready．' [02:12.72]She pushed the baby into Alice's arms and hurried out of the room． [02:20.12]'Oh，the poor little thing！' [02:23.67]said Alice，looking at the baby，which had a very strange face． [02:29.78]She took it outside into the wood and walked around under the trees． [02:36.68]Then the baby began to make strange noises，and Alice looked into its face again． [02:45.30]Its eyes were really very small for a baby， [02:51.19]and its nose now looked very like the nose of a pig． [02:55.98]'Don't make noises like that，my dear，'said Alice．'It's not polite． [03:03.83]You're beginning to sound like a pig．' [03:07.55]But a few minutes later，there was no mistake．It was a pig． [03:14.48]Alice put it carefully on the ground， [03:18.31]and it ran quietly away on its four legs into the wood． [03:23.91]'I'm pleased about that，'Alice said to herself．'It will be a good-looking pig， [03:32.67]but it would be terrible to be a child with a face like that． [03:38.07]She was thinking about pigs and children when she suddenly saw the Cheshire Cat in a tree． [03:49.73]The Cat grinned at her，and she went nearer to it． [03:55.04]'Please，'she said，'can you tell me which way to go from here？' [04:02.56]'But where do you want to get to？'said the Cat． [04:11.77]'It doesn't really matter—'began Alice． [04:15.85]'Then it doesn't matter which way you go，'said the Cat． [04:23.05]'But I would like to get somewhere，'Alice explained． [04:30.68]'If you just go on walking，'said the Cat，'in the end you'll arrive somewhere．' [04:42.03]That was true，thought Alice，but not very helpful，so she tried another question． [04:51.19]'What kind of people live near here？' [04:56.98]'To the left，'the Cat said，'lives a Hatter．And to the right，lives a March Hare． [05:09.12]You can visit either of them．They're both mad．' [05:15.28]'But I don't want to visit mad people，'said Alice． [05:20.93]'We're all mad here，you know，'said the Cat．'I'm mad．You're mad．' [05:31.93]'How do you know that I'm mad？'said Alice． [05:37.15]'Of course you're mad，'said the Cat．'Only mad people come here．' [05:47.19]Alice was thinking about this，but the Cat went on， [05:55.12]'Are you playing croquet with the Queen today？' [06:01.35]'I would like to very much，'said Alice，'but nobody has invited me yet．' [06:10.91]'You'll see me there，'said the Cat，and vanished． [06:17.37]Alice was not really surprised at this， [06:22.33]because so many strange things were happening today． [06:28.28]She was still looking at the tree when，suddenly，the Cat appeared again． [06:35.92]'I forgot to ask，'said the Cat．'What happened to the baby？' [06:45.12]'It turned into a pig，'Alice said．' [06:49.11]I'm not surprised，'said the Cat，and vanished again． [06:59.98]Alice began to walk on，and decided to visit the March Hare． [07:07.61]'It's the month of May now，'she said to herself， [07:12.16]'so perhaps the Hare won't be as mad as he was in March．' [07:18.18]Suddenly，there was the Cheshire Cat again，sitting in another tree． [07:24.34]Alice jumped in surprise．'Do you think，'she said politely， [07:31.93]'that you could come and go more slowly？' [07:35.69]'All right，'said the Cat．And this time it vanished very slowly． [07:45.30]First its tail went，then its body，then its head，and last，the grin． [07:55.36]'Well！I've often seen a cat without a grin，'thought Alice， [08:00.68]'but never a grin without a cat！' [08:04.24]Soon she saw the house of the March Hare in front of her．It was a large house， [08:11.75]so she ate a little piece of mushroom to get bigger，and walked on．
