Ariana stared at the riddle in the book until she spoke
"What's that supposed to mean?"
The mad hatter looked at her and said
"How should I know?"
Ariana tried to think of what the answer may be but she couldn't. She looked at the mad hatter and saw that he was also deep in thought.
"Why don't we call it a night" said the mad hatter finally
"We can't go to sleep right now! We need to solve the riddle!" Said Ariana angrily
"Ariana you are a little girl! You need to sleep so your brain can function!" Said the mad hatter
After arguing for a while, Ariana finally gave in and went to sleep while the hatter tried to figure out the riddle.
As Ariana slept she had a weird dream. She dreamed that she was back in the orphanage and was reading a book of nursery rhymes. As the dream continued, Ariana realized that the dream version of her self was reading the nursery rhyme called the queen of hearts tarts.
That was Ariana's favorite nursery rhyme when she was younger.
Ariana woke up suddenly and sat bolt upright on her bed. She looked around and saw the mad hatter at his desk making a hat and drinking tea.
Ariana got out of bed and ran towards the hatter.
"Hatter! I know what's the answer to the riddle!" Yelled Ariana
The hatter spun around and looked at Ariana
"What is it?" He said curiously
"The queen of hearts tarts!" She said excitedly " you see it is the answer because it is a dessert made by a queen, it is usually seen in fairytales and poems!"The mad hatter smiled at Ariana
"I knew you'd figure out the answer!" He said before his smile faded." There is one thing though, the queen of hearts never lets anybody take her tarts!"
Ariana frowned. Ok. This might be a little hard........
