Becky’s basement
Dear Diary,
Today, Becky and I went to the pond and lay our heads on the green grass for
hours until sundown. It was a mesmerizing experience. I hope my friends from
my hometown Sri Nagar can one day share that experience with us here.
Oh and we were also very close to getting punished for bringing puppies inside
the house today. Shaanu warned us in time and we could manage to sneak the
puppies out .
I am preparing a song for the choir singing this Sunday. Hope I don’t stutter like
last time.

Comprehension
Lewis Carroll, who was born Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, had a terrible
stuttering problem. Because of this problem, even as an adult, Charles felt more
comfortable around children than adults. Charles loved to tell and write stories,
and he found that children loved to hear his stories.
On July 4, 1862, Charles went on a picnic with some friends up the Isis River.
One of the children on the picnic was a ten year old girl named Alice. Alice
begged Charles to tell her one of his stories. So he began telling her about
young girl named Alice and her adventures underground. At the end of the day,
Alice told Charles that she hoped he would write Alice's stories down for her.
Charles promised her that he would try. Three years later to that very day, Alice
received her very own copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. It wasn't the
first book that Charles wrote, but it was the first book that he wrote under the
name Lewis Carroll.
