Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Chapter five Advice From a Caterpillar The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence. At last, the caterpillar took the hook out of its mouth and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. Who are you? Said the caterpillar. This was not an engaging opening for a conversation, Alice replied, rather shyly. Hi, I hardly know, sir. Just at present. At least I know who I wass when I got up this morning. But I think I must have been changed several times since then. What do you mean by that? Said the caterpillar sternly. Explain yourself. I can't explain myself. I'm afraid, sir, said Alice. Because I'm not myself. You see, I don't see, said the Caterpillar. I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly, Alice replied very politely, for I can't explain it myself. To begin with and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing. It isn't it, said the caterpillar. Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet, said Alice. But when you have to turn into a chrysalis, you will someday, you know. And then after that, into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel a little queer, won't you? Not a bit, said the caterpillar. Well, perhaps your feelings may be different, said Alice. All I know is it would feel very queer to me. You said the caterpillar contemptuous Lee hoo ah you, which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation. Else feels a little irritated at the caterpillars making such very short remarks, and she drew herself up and said, very gravely. I think you ought to tell me who you are first way, said the Caterpillar. He was another president question. And as Alice could not think of any good reason, and as the caterpillar seemed to be in a very unpleasant state of mind, she turned away. Come back, the caterpillar called after her. I have something important to say. This centred, promising, certainly. Alice turned and came back again.
