CHAPTER I . Down the Rabbit - Hole Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank , and of having nothing to do : once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading , but it had no pictures or conversations in it , “ and what is the use of a book , ” thought Alice “ without pictures or conversations ? ” So she was considering in her own mind ( as well as she could , for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid ) , whether the pleasure of making a daisy - chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies , when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her . There was nothing so very remarkable in that ; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself , “ Oh dear ! Oh dear ! I shall be late ! ” ( when she thought it over afterwards , it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this , but at the time it all seemed quite natural ) ; but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat - pocket , and looked at it , and then hurried on , Alice started to her feet , for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat - pocket , or a watch to take out of it , and burning with curiosity , she ran across the field after it , and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit - hole under the hedge . In another moment down went Alice after it , never once considering how in the world she was to get out again . The rabbit - hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way , and then dipped suddenly down , so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well . Either the well was very deep , or she fell very slowly , for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next . First , she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to , but it was too dark to see anything ; then she looked at the sides of the well , and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book - shelves ; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs . She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed ; it was labelled “ ORANGE MARMALADE ” , but to her great disappointment it was empty : she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody underneath , so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it . “ Well ! ” thought Alice to herself , “ after such a fall as this , I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs ! How brave they’ll all think me at home ! Why , I wouldn’t say anything about it , even if I fell off the top of the house ! ” ( Which was very likely true . )
