Alice in warmerland
Alice was getting tired of sitting on the river bank with nothing to do.
Once or twice she looked at her sister’s books. But she was not in the mood for The Young Person’s Guide to Reducing Your Carbon Footprint. Changing Your Behaviour to Save the Planet did not excite her either, especially on a hot summer’s day. There were too many funny diagrams and silly numbers inside. “Why is Charlotte so interested in them?” wondered Alice. The humid weather made her feel sleepy and stupid. She used to make daisy chains, but daisies were no longer her thing. Was that a bird or a ringtone? Perhaps she had a message? She took a mobile phone from her backpack and was just about to check, when a White Rabbit with pink eyes suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The Rabbit pulled a pocket watch out of his green fluoro-jacket. “We’ll be too late!” he said. “Time’s running out. It’s getting hotter!” He stopped near them and looked directly at Alice. Tapping his watch and waving what appeared to be a thermometer, he warned: “Beware Bozone!” How very remarkable. to read further please google the first line of this piece of fiction.... or go here http://tinyurl.com/ykmfo9e |

Whoever wrote this had a sense humour and literacy. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson would have been proud I had a laugh at it... |
