The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this;
but all he SAID was, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?"
"Come, we shall have some fun now," thought Alice.
I'm glad they've begun asking riddles...
Arthur Rackham
"I believe I can guess that," she added, aloud.
"Do you mean that you think you can find out
the answer to it?" said the March Hare.
"Exactly so," said Alice.
"Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on.
"I do," Alice hastily replied; At least, at least, I mean what I say...
that's the same thing, you know."
"Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter. You might just
as well say, "I see what I eat" is the same thing as
"I eat what I see!"
"You might just as well say," added the March Hare,
that "I like what I get" is the same thing as "I get what I like!"
"Alice In Wonderland"
-Lewis Carroll
