thinks the March Hare is rude because he offers

3 1 I think the March Hare and the Hatter are
rude. They say things that dont make sense and
yell at Alice when she doesnt understand. 2 I feel
bad when people are rude to me. It makes me
feel upset and I dont want to be with them. 3 I
think it is important to be polite because people
are nicer to you when you are polite. 4 I would
not like to have tea with the March Hare and the
Hatter because they dont make any sense and
you dont know whats going to happen next.
5 Alice is probably going to leave these mad
creatures and wander around the wood to find
someone who might help her.
