Abajo encuentra una llave pequeña. Mira a través de una puerta y ve un jardín. Quiere entrar, pero es demasiado grande. Bebe de una botella y se hace pequeña. Ahora la llave está sobre una mesa alta. Alicia come un pastel y vuelve a crecer.

At the bottom she finds a small key. She looks through a doorway and sees a garden. She wants to enter, but she is too big. She drinks from a bottle and becomes small. Now the key is on a high table. Alice eats a cake and grows again.
