Drink me<\/strong>, says the bottle on the coffee table, and you shrink down enough to look the ladybirds and ants in the eye. Eat me<\/strong>, says the biscuit tin, and you get up enough to touch the highest branches of the ancient oaks.<\/p>\n

Follow the white rabbit as it runs up and down the forest, but try to keep up with it; you may lose track of it<\/strong>. Too late<\/strong>: you lost your way and the white rabbit ran off, always late for something even he doesn’t know what it is.

You see a big top hat: its owner is a rather nice man, who talks non-stop about time, space, birthdays and unbirthdays; You agree with him that celebrating a non-birthday is much more convenient because there are many more non-birthdays, but when he shows you his watch that doesn’t tell time you get a little suspicious; Perhaps it is better not to accept his tea and continue on your way;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It would be a shame to eat them now! Have an apricot instead, they are very sweet these days.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hunger problem is solved, but you still don’t know where you are or what time it is. You try to approach a card of hearts<\/strong>, but you hear it mutter to itself something like “cut off his head<\/strong>“, so you think it’s best to steer clear.

“My family is friends with the Hearts family, the nobles of my kingdom: I live in the castle with them, in luxury. But gold bores me and I do not like lace. I prefer to stay here in the cool of the park and enjoy the real wealth, the Nature that surrounds me. Where is the exit? I’m sorry, I don’t know and I don’t want to know. I’ll never get out of here.

First a smile appears (with slightly sharp little teeth!)<\/strong> then two pointed ears, a big tail… and then a cat looks at you slyly.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

You’re not sure whether to ask him something, give him a pat or run for the hills, but he doesn’t seem threatening and then he’s looking right at you<\/em>, so you have no choice, at least for politeness. <\/strong><\/p>\n

“No, I don’t know how to get out of the Park,” he tells you, still with the same smile, “We were born here and it is the Park itself that created us: we are not separable from it.

Here you are on the terrace, looking down on the Park of Wonders from above: looking at the Casalotto clock you realise that not a minute has passed since you followed the white rabbit into the park.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_italic=”yes” uncode_shortcode_id=”205360″]<\/p>\n
