One is mad, the other not

The strange caterpillar and talking flowers

As I kept walking I couldnt help but wander where on earth I was. From the plants that were surrounding me it looked like the amazon but that was impossible I had just fallen down a whole from England. Either way I had no idea as to where I was.

Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw a flash of white and red. Its almost as if the white rabbit was leading me somewhere but I just didnt know where. Unfortunately as soon as it appeared it was gone. I quickly ran in the direction of where I had seen it nearly tripping on the several tree roots sticking out from the rich grassy soil.

Before I knew it I was standing infront of a rather large red toadstool surrounded by what looked like smoke. From what I could tell it came up to just under my shoulder and was rather flat on top. As I was about to walk away to left of the mushroom I heard a voice.

"He went right not left you silly little girl."

To which I smartly replied "Who you calling silly, how was I to know which way he went and also who are you any where".

Whilst I was saying this and looking behind and around me I didnt notice the smoke start to clear on the red mushroom. As I looked towards the red mushroom once again I noticed who had spoken and was fairly suprised by the source of the voice.

After seeing the voices source I had to pinch myself to ensure that I was indeed awake not actually asleep after hitting my head by the tree when chasing after that mysterious rabbit.

"Yes child I am real and not a dream. Now as I was saying he went the other way so if you want to find the white rabbit you will have to go right."

"How did you know I was looking for the white rabbit".

"The flowers told me you had been muttering about finding the white rabbit. Very unlady like I must say, to mutter that is".

As I stood there staring at him I couldnt help but feel overcome with wonder and confusion. Wonder because he was a caterpillar that could talk and confusion at how he had said the flowers had told him.

"What do you mean the flowers told you, flowers cant talk surely". I said as I stepped closer to get a closer look at him. As I got closer I discovered he was also the cause of the smoke because in his hand was a very old fashioned smoking pipe that he had put down so as to speak to me.

"Oh we can definately talk little girl but we dont always like talk to strangers".

I jumped startled at the new voice and turned round to see a rather large pink daisy with a rather pretty face. As I turned to look at the other large flowers and even some of the smaller ones I say their centers forming into faces so they could talk as well all of which with rather pretty faces.

"Yes of course we can talk and its ever so fun to if not we would be most definately be forever bored just standing here waving in the breeze". Another spoke this time a blue chrysanthemum.

"Wow well I never knew and I must say your faces are all very pretty, much prettier than I would of ever imagined".

"Aww why thank you little girl. Oh and by the way what is your name".

"My name is Alice Carter".

"Well it was a pleasure to meet you Alice Carter. The white rabbit went right and down the path then into the purple and blue cottage".

"Thank you dearly flowers it was a pleasure meeting you and you too dear caterpillar oh and thank you for your asistance it was most helpful".

"You are welcome now go and be quick before the rabbit leaves the purple and blue cottage".

"Thank you goodbye I hope to see you again soon". I said whilst turning in which they had said whilst waving goodbye to them.

As I left the smoking caterpilar and talking flowers behind I couldnt help but wander how strange but wonderful this place is. I then started to wander if there were any other strange creatures here. As I kept running I could slowly start to see a row of very colourful cottages.

That was definately a lot quicker than I had anticapated. Just as I was about to cross the forest into the meadow surrounding the small cottaged I heard something behind me.

I turned and stopped in time to hear them shout something. That something was Alice.
