After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor Alice! when she got to the door, she found she had forgotten the little golden key, and when she went back to the table for it, she found she could not possibly reach it: she could see it quite plainly through the glass, and she tried her best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when she had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.
Ma, povera Alice, quando di fronte alla porticina si accorse di aver dimenticata la chiavetta d'oro, e quando corse al tavolo dove l'aveva lasciata, rilevò che non poteva più giungervi: vedeva chiaramente la chiave attraverso il cristallo, e si sforzò di arrampicarsi ad una delle gambe del tavolo, e di salirvi, ma era troppo sdrucciolevole. Dopo essersi chi sa quanto affaticata per vincere quella difficoltà, la poverina si sedette in terra e pianse.
