Millie was a very lonely girl without friends. She always longed (渴望) so much for love.

One morning Millie found two hungry and weak songbirds while walking in the forest near her house. She took them home and put them in a small cage. After being looked after well with love, the two birds luckily grew strong little by little. Every morning they said hello to Millie with a wonderful song. Millie felt great love for the birds.

One day, Millie left the door to the cage open carelessly. The larger and stronger one of the two birds flew out of the cage. Millie was afraid that the bird would fly away, so as the bird flew close, she caught him wildly. Her heart felt glad of her success in catching him. Suddenly, she felt the bird go limp (无力的). She opened her hand and watched the dying bird in fear until it was dead. It was her desperate love that had killed him.

Millie noticed the other bird moving back and forth in the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to fly into the clear and blue sky. Unwillingly (不情愿地), Millie lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air. The lucky bird circled once, twice, three times around Millie.

Millie’s heart was no longer concerned with her loss. What she actually wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily. From time to time, the bird flew closer and landed on her shoulder. He sang the sweetest tune that Millie had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tight, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

Then the white rabbit saw Alice.

“What are you doing here, Mary Ann?” he asked. “Go home right away and bring me a fan and a pair of white gloves.”

Alice was too afraid to tell him she was not Mary Ann, a servant. So she ran off.

“I’ll try and find his fan and gloves,” she thought when she ran.

She soon came to a little house. There was a name on the door, “W. Rabbit.”

She went inside without knocking on the door. “How strange this all is!” she thought. “I am running errands for a rabbit. Perhaps Dinah will ask me to run errands for her.”

She ran up the stairs into a little bedroom, and there she found a pair of gloves and a fan. She picked them up and was going to leave when she saw a bottle. It was near a looking glass. On the side of the bottle were the words “Drink me.”

“I’ll drink some,” Alice thought. “Perhaps it will make me grow again. I am tired of being so small.”

She quickly drank half the bottle. Before she could get out of the little house, she started to grow. Soon, she was so big, she could not move in the room.

“That was a silly (傻的) thing to do,” she thought. “Why didn’t I take the bottle with me and drink from it outside the house?”
