Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Two-Page Summary. The story opens on a sunny afternoon, with Alice sitting on a riverbank with her sister.
Bored and restless, Alice watches a white rabbit run by, dressed in a waistcoat and carrying a pocket watch. Curious, Alice follows the rabbit down a hole and tumbles into a seemingly endless tunnel.
She lands in a large hall with doors of all shapes and sizes. A key on a table catches Alice's eye. However, it is too large for any of the doors. Feeling frustrated, Alice finds a small bottle labeled "Drink Me" and, after some hesitation, takes a sip.
Immediately, Alice begins to shrink. Panic-stricken, she cries and worries that she will dwindle away completely. She notices a cake sitting on a table with the words "Eat Me" written in currants. Hoping to return to her normal size, Alice takes a bite of the cake.
