Dormouse f bit down the rabbit-house. Oh, what is this? I can see a house! It is the March Hare’s house. Because the chimneys look like ears, and the roof made from fur. Look through the window, please. I can see the March Hare and the Hatter. They are having tea at the table. A Dormouse is sitting between them. He is sleeping. So, I’m coming. No room! No room! No room! No room! But there is plenty of room! Do you like more tea? l’t drink the tea yet! So I can’t have J Do you like less tea? No, thank you. What day of the month is it today? The fourth. Oh, my watch is two days wrong! What a funny watch! It tells the day of the month, and doesn’t tell what (o’clock it is) time it is. Of course not. Two days wrong! It’s always six o’clock now. Oh, I have a bright idea!!! There are many tea-things on the table (many tea-cups, spoons...) Yes, you are right. It is always tea-time. And we have not time to wash the things between these tea-parties. But what do you do, when you begin tea-time again? Of course, we change the tea-things. The young Lady, tell us a story, please! But I don’t know any stories. All right, then the Dormouse do it. (Обращаясь к мышке.) Wake up, Dormouse! 109
