thought in choir:
Better keep silent! Do you know how much conversation is
worth? Thousand pounds a word.
I hope you understand what 'to think in choir' means?
To me, to be honest, it's not quite clear.
You're going the wrong way.
Oh, what a funny river-horse-flies! It's interesting,
where are they flying to?
And that is, probably, baobab-fly...
But then Alice remembered she was already on fourth square
and it was time to go.
To the house of Tweedledum
To the house of Tweedledee
So you're saying: living like in a tale
but decide for yourselves is it easy to live in it
when in this tale it's impossible without caution because of uncertainty
because of obscurity, because of unknown, because of troubles...
Oh, how complicated it is! yet that's the whole fun.
You can't make a single step without caution.
Funny and strange are the rules in the tale
Everything is different there, everything is somewhat otherwise
Wherever you look - there's only riddles
There's only pell-mell no matter where you look.Through the Looking Glass
after eponymous tale by L. Carroll
Part Three
To the house of Tweedledum
To the house of Tweedledee
Arrows were somehow pointing at the same direction.
By appearances, Alice thought, Tweedledum and
Tweedledee must be living together.
I'll come by for a minute, say hello, and ask
how to get out of the forest.
If you think we're waxworks, take your money out!
Money has to be paid for looking.
And back in front, totally contrarywise.
Excuse me, i didn't want to offend you.
When you meet somebody, first thing to do is say hello and to shake hands.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee agreed to have a battle
For Tweedledum said Tweedledee had spoiled his nice new rattle.
nice one...good one...spoiled his rattle...
Just then flew down a monstrous crow, as black as a tar-barrel!
Which frightened both the heroes so, they quite forgot their quarrel.
...quite forgot their quarrel.
Look! Did you see?
I knew so! Broke it!
It's not worth worrying because of old rattle.
It's not old at all! It's new! Good. My rattle!
Well then? Let's have a battle!
Let's. But let her help us to dress up.
Fasten it tighter otherwise my head could get ripped away.
You know, loss of a head is a very serious loss.
In general i'm very valiant, it's just that today i have a headache.
I'm very pale.
But i have a toothache! My ache is bigger than yours!
Then don't have a fight today.
We will have to have a small battle after all.
Let's have a battle until six o'clock and after that let's have dinner.
What a gigantic cloud! And i think it has wings...
That a crow!
Oh, that's White Queen!
Do you want to be my housemaid? Twopence a week
and jam every other day.
No, thanks, moreover, i don't want jam today.
But you won't get it today.
Jam every other day.
It's all so tangly! I don't understand a thing.
It's just you are not used to living backwards.
Living backwards?
Finger in blood! Blood!
Did you prick your finger?
Not yet, but it hurts already. And now i'll prick it.
That's why finger was in blood. Do you understand now how everything happens here?
It means, your finger doesn't hurt anymore?
No, it doesn't...thank you.....
Do you want to buy something?
I'd like to buy an egg. How much does it cost?
One for ten kopeck, two for five-kopeck and a half.
Does that mean two eggs are cheaper than one?
Then give me one, please.
I don't give anything to anybody. You need it, then take it yourself.
But that's Humpty Dumpty! Alice thought.
That's him and nobody else!
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall:
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty Dumpty in his place again.
How similar to an egg!
How i'm fed up with this! Everybody calls me an egg. Every and all!
Wouldn't it be calmr for you downstairs?
The wall is awfully narrow!
Oh, that's nothing. But even if i do fall down,
king has promised me, yes, he said me so:
that he would...send all
