(f) The Cheshire Cat doesn’t like the King

(h) The Duchess takes Alice with her for a

Chapter 9 and 10
Possible answer:
The trial of the Knave of Hearts is in a large
room. The White Rabbit reads from a long
paper. He says that the Knave of Hearts
took some tarts. The Mad Hatter has to
answer the King’s questions first. After the
questions, the Hatter runs away so the King
and Queen can’t cut off his head. Then Alice
starts to get bigger and the Mouse has to
move to a different place. After the
Duchess’s cook speaks, Alice has to answer
questions but now she is very tall. When
she stands up, everyone and everything
falls everywhere. Alice says she will not
leave the room and she tells the Queen that
she is stupid. Then all the cards come down
on top of Alice and she wakes up. She tells
her sister about Wonderland. Then they go
home for tea..
