**Reading and listening**

Valencia, 11/12/2013, G.B.
Antes de publicar un pequeño artículo sobre **gramática elemental,** en concreto sobre el **Past Simple** o pasado simple, quiero dejar un pequeño fragmento de un muy popular libro: Alicia en el País de las Maravillas (***ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND***) de **Lewis Carroll**. ¿Y por qué? Porque es una descripción en el pasado, aunque también utiliza el **Past Continuous** o pasado continuo, del cual hablaremos tras el Past Simple. Además, her redescubierto un programa que compré en el año 2006 de lectura de textos denominado **TestAloud** y quiero reutilizarlo, ¿de acuerdo?
Bien, adjunto el texto del libro descargado del **Proyecto Gutenberg** (***Project Gutenberg***), el cual está libre de derechos de autor y podéis descargar legal y gratuitamente desde esta dirección:

Aquí va el texto:

> CHAPTER I. Down the Rabbit-Hole

> Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, ‘and what is the use of a book,’ thought Alice ‘without pictures or conversation?’

> So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

> There was nothing so VERY remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so VERY much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, ‘Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!’ (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually TOOK A WATCH OUT OF ITS WAISTCOAT-POCKET, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

> In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

> The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.
