Curiosity trumps reason

Summary

After reading "Curosity" by Sumi, I wanted to write a flash fic on the same concept.
After her adventure in Wonderland, we might all think that Alice has become wiser, that she would avoid drinking from bottles with a note that says, "Drink me" and eating cakes with a message that says, "Eat me," but she hasn't.

Curiosity trumps reason

After her adventure in Wonderland, we might all think that Alice has become wiser, that she would avoid drinking from bottles with a note that says, "Drink me" and eating cakes with a message that says, "Eat me," but she hasn't. Alice is a curious child, far too curious, and that always trumps reason. So, when she finds a bottle with a label that says "Drink me," Alice drinks it in one gulp. Instead of shrinking, strange pimples appear on her body and Alice has the crazy urge to scratch herself till she bleeds. Wanting to get rid of these pimples, Alice finds a piece of cake with a note saying, "Eat Me." She quickly ate it and her skin returned to normal. Alice breathes a sigh of relief. This "adventure" wasn't so bad after all. She would like to tell her sister about it, but her sister might scold her. She has never agreed with Alice's hobbies. Her sister feels that Alice spends too much time with her imagination rather than common sense and with her curiosity rather than wisdom. Alice finds this sad. Sharing her "adventures" with her sister would be so great! Still, Alice isn't going to stop having more adventures. Thus she will continue to drink from bottles with a note that says "Drink me" and eat cakes with a message that says, "Eat me."
