500-word fairy tale
Piglet and Pepper She stood in front of the small room and watched it for a minute or two, thinking about what to do next. Suddenly, a servant in uniform (she thinks this servant is wearing a servant's uniform, and if she only looks at his face, she will take him as a fish) ran from the Woods and kicked the door hard with her feet. Another servant in uniform, round face and big eyes like frogs opened the door. Alice noticed that both servants were wearing oiled wigs. She really wanted to know what had happened, so she leaned out of the Woods to listen. The fish servant took out a big letter almost as big as his body under his arm, then handed it to that one and said in a serious voice, "To the Duchess: The Queen invited her to play croquet." The frog servant just changed the word order and repeated in the same serious tone: "Queen's invitation: invite the Duchess to play croquet." Then they both bowed deeply and tangled their wigs. This scene made Alice laugh, and she had to run deep into the Woods to avoid being heard by them. When she came out to peep again, the fish servant had already left, and the other was sitting on the ground at the door in a daze. Alice timidly went to the door and knocked. "Knocking at the door is useless." The servant said, "There are two reasons for this: first, I am outside the door like you, and second, they are noisy inside and never hear a knock at the door." Indeed, there is a very special sound in it: there is a constant howl, sneezing, and from time to time there is a sound of breaking things, such as plates or porcelain pots. Then, please tell me,' said Alice,' how can I get in?' "If this door is between us, it might still make sense for you to knock," the servant continued, ignoring Alice. "If you knock inside, I can let you out." When he spoke, he kept staring at the sky, which Alice thought was very rude. "Maybe he can't help it," she said to herself. "His eyes are almost overhead, but at least he can answer questions. How can I get in? " Therefore, she repeated loudly. "I'll sit here," the servant continued, "until tomorrow …" Just then, the door of the house opened and a big plate flew towards the servant's head, passed by his nose and bumped into a tree behind him. "... maybe another day. "The servant continued to speak in the same tone as if nothing had happened. "How can I get in?" Alice asked even louder. "Are you going in or not?" The servant said, "You know, this is the first question to be decided." Of course it's true, but Alice doesn't want to admit it. "What a nuisance," she muttered. "The way these creatures discuss problems is really maddening." The servant seemed to think it was a good opportunity to repeat himself, but changed his statement slightly: "I will sit here from morning till night, day after day." "But what should I do?" Alice said, "Do whatever you want?" The servant advised him to whistle. "Oh, it's no use telling him!" Alice said disappointedly, "He is a complete idiot!" " Then she pushed open the door and went in by herself. This door leads directly to a big kitchen, which is full of smoke. The duchess is in the middle of the house, sitting on a three-legged stool to take care of a child. The cook leaned against the stove and stirred in the pot, which seemed to be full of soup. "There is really too much pepper in the soup!" Alice struggled and kept sneezing. The smell of pepper in the air is so strong that even the duchess often sneezes. As for the baby, he either keeps sneezing or howling. There are only two creatures in this kitchen who don't sneeze, namely the cook and a big cat. The cat is lying by the fire, grinning. Please tell me,' Alice asked timidly, because she was not sure whether it was against the rules to speak first. "Why does your cat laugh?" "It is the administrative unit of Cheshire cat (county: England), and Cheshire is the name of a county. Because of the influence of this book, westerners now call the grinning person Cheshire cat. ), "said the duchess," that's why it smiles. Pig! " Alice was startled by the duchess's last words. However, Alice immediately realized that she was talking to the baby, not herself, so she got up the courage to continue: "I didn't know that Cheshire cat often laughed. In fact, I had no idea that cats could laugh. " "They all will," said the Duchess. "At least most people will laugh." "I haven't even seen one." Alice said very politely, happy with the beginning of the conversation. "You know too little," said the Duchess. "This is a fact." Alice doesn't like the tone of this conversation and thinks it's better to change the subject. While she was thinking about this topic, the cook opened the soup pot from the top of the fire and immediately threw everything she could catch at the duchess and the baby. The hook flew first, and then the pots and pans flew like a storm. The duchess didn't care at all, and didn't even respond to hitting her body. And the baby has been howling desperately, I wonder if these things have hit him. "Hey, be careful!" Cried Alice, her heart beating with fear. "Oh, his little nose is finished." Really, an oversized pan flew past my nose and almost cut it off. "If everyone cared about their own business," the Duchess said hoarsely, "the earth would turn faster than it does now." "It's no use," said Alice, who was glad to have the opportunity to show her knowledge. "What do you think it will bring to day and night? You know, it takes twenty-four hours for the earth to make a circle around its axis. " "Say what?" The duchess said, "Cut off her head!" Alice gave the cook an uneasy look to see if she would carry out this order. The cook was busy stirring the soup and didn't seem to hear it at all, so Alice went on to say, "I think it's twenty-four hours, maybe twelve hours, I ..." "Oh, don't bother me!" The duchess said, "I can't stand numbers!" " "She said she went to take care of the children. When she coaxed the children, she sang a bedtime song. Every time she finishes a sentence, she will shake the child very badly. " Speak rudely to your little boy and read him when he sneezes, because he only does it to make trouble. He's just playing the fool. "Chorus (including the chef and children): Wow! Wow! Wow! When the Duchess sang the second song, she threw the baby violently up and down. The poor little guy cried in despair. Alice could hardly hear the lyrics: "I speak harshly to my child. I will read it to him when he sneezes, because he can enjoy the taste of pepper when he is happy. "Chorus: Wow! Wow! Wow! " Come on! Give him a hug if you like! "The duchess said to Alice, throw the baby to her." I want to play hammer throw with the queen. I have to be ready. "He hurried out of the room. When she came out, the cook threw a frying pan at her from behind, but it missed. Alice struggled to catch the child because he was a strange-looking little creature, and his arms and legs stretched out in all directions. "It really looks like a starfish," Alice thought. When she caught him, the poor little guy groaned like a steam engine, curled up for a while, stretched out for a while, and turned over and over again, so that Alice could barely catch him for the first minute or two. As soon as she found a way to hug him (tie him together like a knot, and then grab his right ear and left foot so that he can't stretch it out), she took him to the open air outside the house. "If I don't take the child away," thought Alice, "they will certainly kill him in a day or two. Won't it hurt him to leave him here? " She said the last sentence loudly, and the little guy snorted in reply (he has stopped sneezing these days). Don't mumble,' said Alice. "You are ridiculous," the baby grunted again, and Alice looked at his face anxiously, wondering what had happened. I saw his nose facing the sky, not like a normal person at all, but like a pig nose; His eyes became too small to be like a baby. Alice doesn't like this. Maybe he's crying,' thought Alice. She just looked into his eyes to see if there were any tears. No, there are no tears at all. "If you become a pig," Alice said seriously, "listen, I won't talk to you again!" The poor little guy sobbed again (or grunted again, it's hard to say what kind), and then they walked in silence for a while. Alice was thinking, "What shall I do with this little thing when I get home? At this moment, he snorted violently again, and Alice immediately looked down at his face warily. You can't go wrong this time. It's totally a pig. She thought it would be ridiculous to wear it again. So she put the little creature down and watched it run into the forest quickly, and her heart was very relaxed. " If it grows up, Alice said to herself, "It will be a terrible ugly child, or a beautiful pig." Then, she went to miss the children she knew one by one to see who was more decent when she became a pig. She was about to say to herself, "As long as someone tells them how to change ..." At this moment, Cheshire cat startled her. It stopped on a branch a few yards away. The cat just smiled at Alice and looked good-natured. Alice thought, but it still has long claws and many teeth, so it should be respected. "Cheshire cat," she said timidly. I don't know if it likes the name, but its mouth is grinning. "Oh, it's very happy," Alice thought, and then said, "Would you please tell me which way to get out of here?" "It depends on where you want to go," said the cat. "I don't care much about where to go." Alice said. "Then it doesn't matter which way you go." Said the cat. "As long as you can walk to a place." Alice added. "Oh, that's good," said the cat, "as long as you go far." Alice felt that there was no way to object to this, so she tried to ask another question: "What are you around this week?" "In this direction," said the cat, waving its right paw, "there lived a hatter; In that direction, "the cat waved its other paw," lived a March rabbit. You can visit anyone you like. They are both crazy. " "I don't want to be with crazy people." Alice answered. "Oh, I can't help it," said the cat. "We are all crazy here. I am crazy, and you are crazy. " "How do you know I'm crazy?" Alice asked. "Of course," said the cat, "otherwise you wouldn't be here." Alice didn't think this could explain the problem at all, but she continued to ask, "How do you know you are crazy?" "Let's start here," said the cat. "Dogs are not crazy. Do you agree? " "Maybe it is! Alice said. Well, then, "the cat continued," you know, dogs bark when they are angry and wag their tails when they are happy, but I bark when I am happy and wag their tails when I am angry. So, I am crazy. " "I call this snoring, not screaming. Alice said. No matter what you say, said the cat, are you playing croquet with the queen today? "I like playing croquet very much," Alice said, "but I haven't been invited yet!" "You will see me there! "The cat suddenly disappeared. Alice is not too surprised by this. She is used to these strange things that keep happening. She looked at where the cat had sat. At this moment, the cat suddenly appeared again. " By the way, what has that baby become? "said the cat," I almost forgot. " "It has become a pig. "Alice answered calmly, as if it was normal for cats to appear again." I thought it would be like that. " The cat said and disappeared again. Alice waited for a while, hoping to see it again, but it never appeared again. So she walked in the direction where the March Rabbit lived. "I also want to go to the hat shop. She said to herself, "The March Rabbit must be very interesting. It's May. Maybe not too crazy-at least not crazier than March. "Just as I said these words, I looked up and saw the cat sitting on a branch." Did you just say pig or bamboo? "The cat asked," I'm talking about pigs, "Alice answered. I hope you don't appear and disappear too suddenly, which will make people dizzy. "OK," the cat promised. This time it disappeared slowly, and from the tip of the tail to the tail, it could not see its smiling face. The smiling face stayed for a long time after the body disappeared. "Oh, I often see cats without smiling faces," thought Alice, "but I have never seen smiling faces without cats. This is the strangest thing I have ever seen. "She didn't go far when she saw a house. She thought this must be the house of the March Rabbit, because the chimney is like long ears and the roof is covered with rabbit hair. The house is too big for her to go near. She took a bite of the mushroom in her left hand and made herself grow two feet taller. Then she walked timidly and said to herself, "What if it is crazy? "I might as well go and see the hatter!"
