Cheshire Cat

"Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!"

This picture shows a famous scene from „Alice in Wonderland“:

Alice sees the Cheshire cat sitting in a tree.

There are two fascinating things about this cat:

First of all the cat always grins and secondly the cat can disappear,

beginning with its tail and ending with the grin, that remains for a while.

A dream:

One night Alice had a strange dream:

It`s her eleventh birthday. She only gets one present – a parcel with a cat in it showing a broad grin. After a moment she remembers that this must be the CHESHIRE CAT from the book she likes so much, „Alice in Wonderland“. But before she can take the cat, it jumps out of the box, runs across the room and climbs up the bookshelf. There it sits on the highest board, next to the book, „Alice in Wonderland“. ………………… How does the story go on?
