9; cow-Turtle’s Story
somebody said to Alice, “I feel very happy that i am with you again, dear.” the voice came from the Duchess, who tucked her left arm affectionately under Alice’s ryt arm. they walked together. Alice felt very glad that she was acting pleasantly. Alice realized that only the pepper in the kitchen, caused her to speak harshly, and probably caused the cook's violence too. if so she decided that when she would be a Duchess, which she hoped for, but also not very hopeful, not to have any pepper in the kitchen. Soup is good with other herbs, or garlic, onion and other spices. pepper makes people hot-tempered. she continued her theory while feeling "very much pleased at comprehending the causes", based on the difference now: people act sour due to vinegar. or bitter due to camomile. sugar and such sweets make children sweet-tempered. if people knew that, then they would stop using sour vinegar and pepper. instead eat sweets to change from sour and rude or stingy. deep in her thoughts, She forgot the Duchess, so she felt a bit startled when she heard the duchess very near her ear: “You’re thinking about something, my dear."
"yes." alice agreed. duchess continued, "that has a moral, that I will remember soon.” Alice argued, “Perhaps it hasn’t one.” Duchess insisted, “Everything has a moral, child, if you can find it.” she started resting her sharp chin on Alice’s shoulder. Alice did not like that but was not assertive. instead alice said, “The game’s going better now.” Duchess agreed, moving away her chin, "yes, the moral of that is, love, oh love makes the world go round!’” she continued: “consider your flamingo, flamingoes and mustard both bite. the moral of that is,‘Birds of a feather flock together.’” alice argued “mustard isn’t a bird, it’s a mineral.”
“Certainly,” agreed the Duchess, who now seemed to agree with anything that Alice said, and continued, “I agree with you, and a large mustard mine is near here. the moral of that is, ‘The more that is mine, yours will be less.’” alice corrected herself about mustard, “Oh, I know!” exclaimed Alice, “it’s a vegetable." the duchess again agreed, “yes it is, the moral of that is... simply: ‘Never imagine yourself, not to be other than, what it appears to others what you are." Alice argued but very politely, "that is not simple at all! I would understand that if I had it written to read. the Duchess added, “furthermore, you differ from how others consider you. I give you my ideas as a present.” alice thought this was a cheap gift. she felt glad that birthday presents are not words.
Duchess asked, “Thinking again?” and again dug another dig into alice's shoulder using her sharp chin. Alice answered her question, “I have the right to think.” duchess continued, “as much right as pigs have to fly..." duchess stopped and began quaking due to the Queen who was frowning and warning her, "Choose, now, either you or your head must be off!" queen stamped on the ground as she spoke. The Duchess chose to keep her head so instantly left. Queen said to Alice, “Join the game.” Alice felt too frightened to speak, so she curtsied politely. they walked together to the bumpy croquet field. The other guests were resting in the shade during the Queen’s absence. when they saw her, they hurried back to play. while they were playing, the Queen constantly was arguing with the other players. she was repeatedly shouting “Off with his head!” or “Off with her head!” soldiers left their "arch" positions, to arrest each one upon whom she decreed death. in almost half an hour, no arches remained so the game ended. all the players, except the King, the Queen, and Alice, were held in custody.
the Queen slowly asked Alice, “Have you seen the Mock Turtle yet?” Alice answered, “No, I don’t know what a Mock Turtle is.” Queen explained, “It’s the thing used to make Mock Turtle Soup.” Alice felt that this did not explain anything at all. Alice heard the King say, in a low voice, “You are all pardoned.” Alice knew the answer how anyone remained alive here despite the number of unjust decrees of death.
Gryphon and Turtle-cow
They came to a Gryphon, lying asleep in the sun. see the picture. its lion body was oddly enhanced with broad wings like a bird and a beak. Queen ordered, “Up, lazy thing, and take this young lady to see the Mock Turtle to hear his history. I will go watch some executions,” and she <<<[note the paragraph does not end at the end of a quotation.] walked off. Alice was only with the Gryphon. alice felt danger, from this gryphon. its beak could injure. lions eat meat so it would want to eat her, however being near the harmful Queen was just as dangerous. The Gryphon sat up and rubbed its eyes. it chuckled and commented, “such fun.”
“What is fun?” asked Alice. it answered, “she is. they never execute.” it obediently led her to the cow-turtle. she saw the Mock Turtle in the distance. it was sitting lonely and sad, on a smooth rock. they came nearer. Alice heard him sighing as if his heart was broken. She pitied him deeply and asked the Gryphon, “What is his sorrow?” the Gryphon answered, “It’s all his imagination. he hasn’t got sorrow.” they came nearer to it. its large eyes were full of tears. Gryphon told it, “Tell her your history.” in a deep, hollow tone it said, “I’ll tell it. sit down, both of you.” they sat down. after she waited patiently, Alice urged the cow-turtle, "if you don’t begin, you will never tell nor end.” it finally began its story. at last it started to speak, “Once, I was a real Turtle.” it sighed a deep sigh. the Gryphon exclamed, “Hijkr-r”when it started repeated heavy sobbing. Alice felt very curious what more would come. after sobbing, it continued more calmly, though still sobbing a few times during the story, “When we were little, we went to school in the sea. The teacher was an old Turtle, we calld him Tortoise.” Alice asked, “Why did you call him Tortoise, if he was a turtle?” it answered angrily, “We called him Tortoise because he TAUGHT- US, You won't believe..." she interrupted the Mock Turtle, "I never said I didn’t” Gryphon warned her, “silence!” it continued, “We had the best of educations. in fact, we went to school every day...” she interrupted again, “I go to school, too. don’t be so proud as that.” it asked, “With extras?” alice answered, “Yes, we learned French and music.” it asked, "washing?” she replied, “Certainly not.” it commented, “yours wasn’t a good school. ours had ‘French, music, AND washing.” alice argued, "under water you couldn’t need it, at the bottom of the sea.” it ignored her and told her, "we studied Reeling and Writhing and 'rithmetic. that included "Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.” “I never heard ‘Uglification,’” Alice commented doubtfully. alice asked, “What is it?” Gryphon lifted up from under its wings, both its front paws, and his eyes and beak were showing surprise, “What? Never heard of uglifying? You know what beautify is, don't you?” alice answered, “Yes, it means making anything prettier.” it concluded, “if you know that and if you don’t know uglify, then figure it out yourself." Alice turned to the Mock Turtle, who had a shell like a turtle but a face and tail like a cow, and asked “What else did you learn?” it added, “you probably only studied history but WE," it boasted, "had Mystery.” it was counting subjects on its flapper, “ancient and modern Mystery, Sea-ography. once each week: Drawling the teacher was an old eel. you only learnt to draw with oil and sketch but WE," it boasted, "studied Drawling, Stretching, and Fainting in Coils.”she wondered aloud, “how do you do that?” it explained, “I can’t show it, because I’m too stiff. the Gryphon never learnt it.”

“Hadn’t time,” sighed the Gryphon, “I learnt Classics from a crab." cow-turtle sighed deeply, “i missed THAT." she began again, "how many hours a day did you do lessons?” hurrying to change the sad subject. they answered, “4 hours monday, tuesday 3, and so on.” she exclaimed, “such an ODD surprising schedule!” Gryphon criticized, “don't you know? That’s the reason they’re called lessons, because they lessen day by day." This was a new idea for Alice who added, “Then friday must have been vacation.” the Mock Turtle sighed, "obviously, it was.” Gryphon eagerly urged. “enough about lessons, now, we will tell you about games.”
