After eponymous tale by Lewis Carroll
Alice in Wonderland
Part Two
Alice was already used to surprises and wasn't at all amazed about this encounter.
Blue Caterpillar was carefree smoking water-pipe and didn't pay attention to what was happening around.
What...are you?
Right now i don't know; i know what i was this morning, but i've changed a couple of times since then.
What are you driveling? You are in your own mind, aren't you? I don't know. I must be in someone else's mind.
I don't understand. I don't undestand anything myself. So much changes in one day!
You see: everything is moving somewhere and changing into something. What are you dissatisfied with?
I grow small when i need to be big and vice versa. That's very uncomfortable. Take a bite from one side - you'll grow, from the other - you'll shrink.
From one side...of what? And from the other side of what? Mushroom!
Alice looked at the mushroom trying to determine where's one side and where's other side.
Mushroom was round, and that mixed-up everything.
Interesting, which of them is which?
Now there'll be less of this silly uncertainty.
Dear Cheshire Cat, tell me please where to go from here?
Where do you want to get? I don't care as long as to get somewhere.
Then it's all the same where to go.
You'll definitely get somewhere, you have to go long enough and to turn sideways nowhere.
What people are living there? There lives the Hatter.
And here lives March Hare. Yet no matter where you get, they're both out of their minds.
Why? Hatter pottered about blocks for hats for so long tat finally he got off his head.
Now he is called Mad Hatter. But March Hare eventually got crazed by the spring, march sun.
Why should i need madmen? Well, you can do nothing: we're all not in our minds here.
And me, and you. Can you disappear not so suddenly, sir? Alright.
Yes, i've seen cats without grin but a grin without a cat... i hadn't seen so far.
A little bit farther she saw the house of March Hare.
March Hare and Mad Hatter were having tea and Dormouse was sleeping between them.
Occupied, occupied! There's no place! How come?
Have some wine! I somehow don't see any.
There isn't any. But why do you offer it? It's impolite.
But you took a seat without invitations. That is, also, impolite.
You're only three. And there's much more tableware.
Would it be better if there were more of us and less of cups? Think what you're saying!
I'm always saying what i think and thinking what i say.
That's not the same thing. What will you say: I see what i eat and i eat what i see?
But i think you're simply wasting time! And what if so! You can't lose time...of course, of course, i agree.
You have never talked with him. Maybe i haven't talked with him, yet i've repeatedly thought how to kill time.
He doesn't like that. He has gotten into tangle with us and not it's always six o'clock for us.
And it is always tea-time. We don't even manage to wash the dishes.
I haven't seen such foolish bunch in my life! No, sooner, sooner out of here to the garden.
OPEN!
Tell me, please, why are you coloring these roses?
You undestand, madam, there was supposed to be planted white rose, but we, fools, planted red one. If Queen finds out - off with our heads.
What a game of cards!, Alice thought. These words sounded somehow not right, but she didn't know how to manage.
Maybe she, too, had to drop on the ground seeing such lustrous pageant?
But Alice didn't remember any rules about such case. Why to make a pageant if everybody will drop on the ground?
Nobody will see anything then.
What is this? Your Highness, they...Everything's clear, off with their heads.
Don't worry, i won't allow to offend you.
And how? Heads are gone, Your Highness!
Excellent. Let's play crocket!
Let's play! All in their places!
Off with her head!
And that head! And off with his head!
They're so used to cutting heads here. Strange that there's still someone complete.
Well, how are you?
Who are you talking to? This is my friend: Chesire Cat. Allow me to introduce.
I don't like it. Anyway, let him kiss my hand if he wants to. Thank you, yet i somehow don't want to.
Executioner, to me!
Off with his head!
It's impossible to cut off head if there's nothing besides it.
If there is a head, it can be cut off!
I will think about what to do with you. But he will be punished by the royal court!
We haven't got a pair of hands without a purpose; it's not life without them, rather pains.
With what to clap forehead if a fly suddenly sits on it?
Head is a different thing - why is it needed?
It doesn't chop wood, and doesn't drive in nails.
Someone has and empty head, and someone's head is being screwed
but everyone doesn't want to simply loose it.
