Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Pg. 109-114

The Dormouse continues to tell the story about the three sisters living in a well who live on treacle.  To pass the time, the sisters draw objects that begin with the letter "m".  Unfortunately, the mouse keeps falling asleep in the middle of her story.  Then Alice gets tired of the other guests at the Mad Tea Party insulting her so she decides to leave.  Alice sees a door which leads to a hallway.  Again, Alice walks through another door, but this time she finds herself in a garden. Alice then sees playing cards painting roses and talking about the queen.  Alice walks toward them, and they all greet her with a bow.

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Pg. 101-108

Alice comes across a mad tea party with the Dormouse, the March Hare, and the Mad Hatter. She looks at the Mad Hatter's watch which tells what month it is and not the time, but this seems normal to the Mad Hatter and the other guests at the tea party. The Hatter asks if Alice has though of answer to his riddle but she gives up and asks him what the answer is. But he doesn't know the answer to the riddle and no one else seems to know. Alice later finds out that another watch is stuck at six o'clock and that’s why they are always have tea parties. They all get tired of talking about the time, so the Hare and the Hatter ask the Dormouse to tell a story. The Dormouse tells a story of three sisters that live in a well, but Alice keeps interrupting him because the story seems ridiculous. Then, in the middle of the story, everyone moves to a different place because they want clean dishes.
