Did I hear you're shopping for a car because I've been at it for ages,
such a time-soc, right?
Not really. I bought it on Kravana, super convenient.
Oh, then comes all the financing, research, am I right?
Well, you can, but I got pre-qualified for a Kravana auto loan in like two minutes.
Yeah, but then all the number crunching in terms, right?
Nope. I saw real numbers as I shopped, found my dream car, and got it in a couple of days.
Wait, like you already have it?
Yep.
Go to Kravana.com to finance your car the convenient way.
Even when we're on a budget, we still deserve nice things.

Hello. Alice is in the woods.
She's trying to find her way back to the beautiful garden that she saw when she first arrived in
Wonderland. Here she is outside a little house. She's wondering who lives there.
I wonder who could live in such a little house.
Before she had the chance to wonder for very long, a fish ran out of the woods and knocked on the door.
The fish was wearing a footman's uniform. Another footman opened the door.
Alice was near enough to hear what the fish said.
From the queen, an invitation for the Duchess to play croquet.
The Duchess! Alice was so curious she went to knock on the door.
But there was no use knocking because it was so noisy inside the house that no one could possibly
hear her little knock. Alice was even more curious now so she opened the door.
Hello. And she found herself in a noisy, smoky kitchen.
A cook was cooking a pan of soup over the fire and the Duchess was holding a crying baby.
There was also a big cat who was sitting above the fire and smiling from ear to ear.
Everyone was sneezing except the cook and the cat.
There's too much pepper in that soup.
Please would you tell me why your cat greens like that?
It's a chesha cat and that's why.
I didn't know chesha cats grinned. In fact, I didn't know cats could grin.
You don't know much and that's a fact.
Just then the cook took the pan of soup off the fire and started throwing pots and pans
and plates and dishes all around the kitchen. Some of them hit the Duchess but she didn't seem to notice.
Some of them hit the baby who was crying in the mirror.
Oh please the baby be careful.
Here you hold it if you like.
And the Duchess threw the baby at Alice who just managed to catch it.
I must go and get ready to pay croquet with the queen.
And with that the Duchess left. Alice held the baby and wondered what to do with it.
What am I going to do with you?
You're a strange shape.
Oh you're not a baby.
You're a...you're a pig.
It was easy to decide what to do with a pig.
Alice took it outside and let it go into the woods.
The chesha cat sat in a tree and watched her.
Chesha cat, could you tell me which way I should go?
A hatter lives over here and a march hair lives over there.
But I don't want to meet mad people.
Oh we're all mad here.
Are you playing croquet with the queen today?
I'd love to play croquet with the queen but she hasn't invited me.
Well you'll see me there.
The cat disappeared.
Alice set off in the direction of the march hair's house and soon came to a house.
Outside the house she saw a tea party quite unlike any tea party she had ever seen before.
Next time I'll tell you about the tea party and what happened when Alice met the march hair
and the hatter.
Goodbye.
