As she continued to fall, a strange thought popped into her head, "after this, I shall think nothing of falling down stairs!" Then another peculiar thought reached its way into her mind, "what if I were to fall right through the center of the earth...and come out of the other side where people walk upside down?"
Then she laughed at herself, "but that's silly!" Then she found herself upside down looking through a strange hallway. And there was the little stuffed animal making his way down the hall until he turned a corner and was out of sight.
"Wait! Oh please wait!" She called out to him, but he didn't seem to hear her. She looked up and noticed that it was rather dark overhead. There were doors all around her and she walked up to each one, peeping inside and trying to open them, but sadly, they were all locked.
Now very gloomy, Hinata walked down the middle of the hall wondering how she was going to get out of here when she spotted a little glass table with three legs. On the table sat a small golden key and a wonderful idea came to her. Maybe this key would fit one of these doors! So once again, she made her way to each door and tried the key. But none of the locks would fit it.
It was then that she spotted a small door that she had never seen before and walked up to peep through the key hole. On the other side was the most beautiful garden she had ever seen. "I simply must get through!" That was when the door knob began to talk to her.
"Your much to small!" The knob looked at her as if she was an idiot.
"Well,
can I at least try the key?" She fit the key in the lock and to her
surprise, it was just the right size and the door slid open a bit. "But
your much too small!" The knob repeated himself.
Hinata ignored the arrogant knob and tried anyway, but he was right and there was no way she could fit in the small door. Sighing, she made her way back to the table, half expecting another key, but instead she found a small bottle and read the label on its neck. "DRINK ME," she read aloud.
"I beg your pardon?" The knob asked in a irritated voice.
"Oh,"
Hinata turned to the knob, "I was just reading to myself..."No, I shall
look first...For if one drinks much from a bottle marked 'poison', it's
almost certain to disagree with one, sooner or later."
The knob gave her a weird look, "but it doesn't say poison, it says 'drink me.' Foolish girl!" He rolled his eyes at the annoying little girl.
She once again ignored the knob and looked anyway. There was no where on the bottle that was marked poison, so she opened it and took a small sip, she found it very nice, it carried a mixed flavor of cherry tart, custard, pineapple, roast turkey, toffee and buttered toast. She very soon finished every drop of the bottle.
"What a curious feeling," she said to herself as her head began to swim. And soon, she found herself only ten inches high.
"How
wonderful!" She said to herself, "I should be able to fit through the
door now!" But the first thing she did was not go to the door. She
stood around for a while worried that she might get smaller, she
couldn't imagine what would happen if she got so small she would just
go out like a candle. Although she had never seen such a thing before.
When she waited a few more minutes and found that nothing more was
happening, she headed to the door.
As she reached the door and dug around in her pockets for the key, it was missing.
"Don't tell me you left it up there!" The knob said sarcastically, already knowing what she had done and began to giggle.
"Oh no!" She ran back to the table and tried to climb for the key, but alas, it was impossible, the glass was way to slippery.
After trying for a long while, she sat herself down and began to cry.
"Come
now, crying wont help!" Now don't get me wrong, the knob was in no way
a nice person, but even he didn't like the sound or look of little
girls crying.
Once she had calmed herself down a bit, her eyes fell on a small glass box that was located under the glass table. Walking over to it Hinata opened the tiny box. Inside it where small cakes with the words EAT ME engraved on them with small amounts of frosting. "Well, I'll eat them, if I get bigger I can reach the key and if I get smaller I can get under the crack of the door. Either way, I will get into the garden and out of this wretched hallway. I don't care which happens."
Soon, she finished off the cakes and waited a bit, and as she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be getting smaller and smaller until they were almost out of sight. "Good-bye feet!"
