Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it up and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn’t open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.
‘ Oh, how beautiful!’ she said. ‘ I’d love to go there but I’m too big to get through the door.’
She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.
‘ I’m sure that bottle wasn’t there before,’ she said, a little confused.
She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words “DRINK ME” on it. Alice wasn’t a stupid girl. She didn’t drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn’t a label on it that said “POISON”.
So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.
‘ Mmm,it’s nice,’ she said, it tasted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast—all the things that she liked to cat—so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty.
‘What a curious feeling,’ she said. I’m getting smaller and smaller.’ It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.
‘Good! I can go through the door into the garden,’ she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn’t have the key! It was on the table. She couldn’t reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.
After a while she said, ‘Alice!’ ‘Stop crying! Crying doesn’t help! Dry your tears immediately!’
When she looked at the table again,she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words “EAT ME” on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.
‘If I grow bigger I can reach the key,’ she thought. ‘And if I grow smaller I can go under the door.’
But nothing happened so she finished it .

It’s one of our traditional virtues to be thrifty. Being thrifty is a good virtue which has been passed down from generation to generation. It’s a good idea to start on in our daily life.
First of all, I constantly check the lights and the taps to make sure that they are off when leaving the house. Besides, never have I wasted any food. What’s more. I don’t spend too much money on unnecessary things and save money regularly.
The reason why I do so is that I want to make a difference to my life. As the old saying goes. “Waste not, want not.” I make up my mind to be thrifty as much as possible, I think everyone should take actions to stick to this virtue.
