‘Now,’ Alice said to herself. ‘First, I must get a little bigger, and second, I must find my way into the beautiful garden. I think that will be the best plan But oh dear! How shall I get bigger? Perhaps I must eat or drink something, but the question is, what?’
Alice looked all around her at the flowers and the trees, but she could not see anything to eat. Then she saw a large mushroom near her. It was as tall as she was. She walked across to look at it and there, on top of the mushroom, was a large caterpillar, smoking a pipe. After a while, the Caterpillar took the pipe out of its mouth and said to Alice in a slow, sleepy voice, ‘Who are you?’
‘I don’t really know, sir,’ said Alice. I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I have changed so often since then. In think I am a different person now.’
‘What do you mean by that?’ said the Caterpillar. ‘Explain yourself!’
