It is also known as Alice in the Wonderland. The story plays logic giving the story lasting
popularity to anyone that it's considered to be one of the best examples of the literary
nonsense genre. The story is about a young girl, Alice, who is sitting along the bank of a
river when she notices a rabbit in clothing run by. The rabbit says he is late and jumps
down a hole through which Alice follows. This is where her adventure begins with many
weird happenings and meetings of different people. She comes upon locked doors that
she unopens with a key she finds. Strange things such as drinking a potion that shrinks
her, and eating a piece of cake that grows her back. In Wonderland, she meets an
assortment of strange characters, including the Cheshire Cat, who advises her to attend
a tea party thrown by the March Hare. After the Mad Hatter tries to cut her hair, Alice
runs away from the tea party. She soon finds herself in a garden where servants are
painting roses red to appease the Queen of Hearts. Alice is called upon to testify against
a tart thief. When Alice admits she knows nothing about the crime, the Queen orders
her execution. Alice wakes up at the last minute to realize this was all a dream.

I go boo
I make fun
I won't cry
So they fly
I just smile
They go wild
