Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them.
A un tratto si trovò accanto a un tavolinetto, tutto di solido cristallo, a tre piedi: sul tavolinetto c'era una chiavetta d'oro. Subito Alice pensò che la chiavetta appartenesse a una di quelle porte; ma oimè! o le toppe erano troppo grandi, o la chiavetta era troppo piccola.
