The story change
A little teenage girl named "Alice" is bored with her history lesson given by her sister called Lorina. She, along with her kitten known as Dinah, sneaks away and dreams a world full of nonsense. However, Alice sees the unusual White Rabbit, who is holding a large golden pocket watch and running off in a hurry. Curious to find out where the rabbit is going, Alice follows him down the rabbit hole, where her adventures in Wonderland begin. Changing sizes from big to small, meeting bizarre people, like the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Dormouse, the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar, Alice is tired from her adventures in Wonderland and wishes to go home.
