(I'm worked my way through the
Mad Tea Parties.
If I didn't get to yours
please let me know in the comments.)
Giveaway Draw will be on
Saturday 19th July.
Welcome to the Mad Tea Party 2014
Please come in, take up a seat.
There's plenty of room,
lots of tea
and if you're lucky,
you'll find a clean cup.
Did you remember to bring your Alice mask?
Do you have a selection of cakes
ready to throw?
If every guest could please
put on their
Alice mask,
then we can begin...
Today we are going to tell the tale of
White Rabbit
and the Wicked Alice!
It's a very frightening tale...
Keep those masks on!
Good.
Once upon a time, the White Rabbit
was coming home from a busy day
at the Duchess's.
He was late, of course and in a hurry,
so he didn't notice a
huge human child following him.
She'd followed him right down
the rabbit hole.
Poor White Rabbit!
He took to his heels
and ran as fast as he could.
The White Rabbit
ran through the Great Hall
past the glass table
and through the little door.
He thought he was quite safe,
as the little door was too small
for the big, scary human.
But the wicked Alice found
a bottle of Drink Me!
And a bottle of Wonderland Drink Me
can do very strange things.
It made the wicked Alice very small.
and now she could get through the little door
and chase after poor White Rabbit.
Now do you see why you have to
hide behind the mask?
It's a very scary story!
White Rabbit had pretty pink rabbit eyes,
but he couldn't see very well with them.
He saw the wicked Alice shrunk small
and though she was his housemaid,
Mary Ann!
He sent her to his home,
to get the Duchess's gloves and fan.
Instead, she stole another bottle of Drink Me!
She drank it all! No please or thank you!
It made her grow.
And Grow
AND GROW
The wicked Alice was now a HUGE monster,
breaking poor White Rabbit's house.
And when he bravely went in,
to rescue the Duchess's fan and gloves
Alice made a grab for him!
Poor White Rabbit was terrified!
The monster had to be chased out of the house,
but she was too big for any of the doors.
And she'd drunk all the Drink Me
and that just made her even bigger.
So the White Rabbit
and his friends
threw little cakes through the windows.
The greedy Alice ate them all up.
The cakes make the monster shrink in size!
When she tried to sneak out,
the brave rabbit and his friends
chased Alice
far, far away!
THE END
Hooray for the
Brave White Rabbit!
And that is the story of the
Wicked Alice Monster
and that is why, on
Mad Tea Party Day
we wear Alice masks,
and throw cakes at each other.
