What a creatures live in my forest! Hare and elk and badger,
And old wood grouse, hearing a fox, flies onto a tree
And hedgehog is hurrying to his friends to dinner;
yet there is no elephant in my forest, there is no happy elephant
And hedgehog tailors my shirt and sings songs
fox scatters my yard with sand and sweeps my room with her tail
Titmouse flies tweeting above me, grond squirrel is my friend and neighbor
Yet there is no elephant in my forest, there is no happy elephant.
Look, here's your last square, now i will leave you, my child.
You know, wave me this kerchief or else i'm totally afraid to fall in my spirit.
Many years later this sight still stood before Alice's eyes;
knight's blue eyes and nice smile, setting sun tangled in his hair and dark shade of forest...
Oh, i didn't think i would become queen so soon!
Tell me please... - Never talk first.
You can't be queen until you pass the exam.
So, exercise in division: divide loaf of bread by knife! What do you get?
I think..... - Sandwiches, of course!
And now example in subtraction:
Take the bone away from dog. What is left?
Nothing is left!
Incorrect! Dog's patience will be left!
How come?
Better tell where does lightning come from?
From thunder! No, no, no! Otherwise.
Last friday there was such storm! That is, i wanted to say - friday.
There is no more than one friday [a week] at our place.
What deformity! At our place can be five fridays a week!
By the way, i invite you today to dinner at Alice's.
I invite you. - I didn't know nothing about dinner,
but if i give a dinner then i invite guests!
We waited long for you to invite us but you,
so it seems, never had lessons in good manners.
Reception is postponed until week after next.
Queen Alice invites to party, all looking-glass creatures, let them come faster,
offering wonderful wine queen Alice awaits in her castle.
Allow to introduce: Alice, this is Ham; Ham, this is Alice.
I'll cut a bit for everybody?...
How can you! You were just now introduced but you've got knife already! Take Ham away!
I don't want to be introduced with pudding! It is needed to eat something!
Pudding, this is Alice; Alice, this is Pudding. Take it away!
To queen Alice's health!
I'm here...
Enough! Enough, i said! Stop it right away!
But you...i'll flap you just like a kitten...
I've had such wonderful dream but Kitty woke me, Alice thought.
And she was with me in Looking-Glass-Land. Of course! Exactly she was Red Queen!
But Kitty just purred and pretended as if she hadn't heard Alice.
You see, cats have one bad habit:
No matter what you say them, the always purr as an answer.
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.
I rushed through this tale taking dangerous ways
I hurried towards sollution as fast as i could
Now, here's the sollution, and i feel a little sorry
remembering my tale and growing up.
