By Cole and Emma S.

Scene 1 (In front of the palace)

Duchess: you can’t think how glad I am to see you again you dear old thing!

Alice thinks: When im a duchess I wont have pepper,maybe it makes you hot tempered.

Duchess: your thinking about something,that makes you forget to talk.I don’t know what the moral of that is but I’ll remember it soon.

Alice: perhaps it hasn’t one.

Duchess: tut tut child everything has a moral.the moral of that is –Oh tis love tis love that makes the world goes round. Look it’s the Queen!

The queen comes over to the Duchess and Alice

Queen: either your head or you must be off, take your choice!!!!!!!!!!!!

The duchees gets annoyed and and leaves.

All the sudden they see a gryphon

Queen: take her to the Mock Turtle!

Gryphon: come on I shall take you to the Mock Turtle

They see the mock turtle crieng

Alice: What is his sorrow?

Gryphon: Oh, that’s just his fancy

The Mock Turtle: Come sit down I shall tell you my story.When I was really really really really young I would go to school and my lessons would lesson each day.

He started crying then stops

The mock turtle: by the way have you ever danced the Lobster Quadrille! First you step right then left then back then forward then back then throw your lobster out to sea then fetch him back, and that’s the first figure!

Gryphon: let’s try it!

Will you walk a little faster said a whiting to a snail theres a popise close behind us and hes treding on my tail. See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance! They are waiting on the shingle – will you come and join the dance? Will you ,won’t you, will you,won’t you, will you join the dance? Will you ,won’t you, will you,won’t you, will you join the dance?

You can really have no notion how delightful it will be when they take us up and throw us with the lobsters out to sea! But the snail replied to far to far, and gave a look askance – said he thanked the whiting kindly, but he would not join the dance.would not, could not, would not, could not join the dance. would not, could not, would not, could not join the dance.

What matters it how far we go? His scaly friend replied. There is another shore,you know, upon the other side. The further off from England the nearer is to France. Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join the dance Will you ,won’t you, will you,won’t you, will you join the dance? Will you ,won’t you, will you,won’t you, will you join the dance?

In the distance they here “the trial is starting”

Gryphon:come on we have to go to the trial!

Alice:What trial?

Gryphon takes Alice away.
