‘I’m pleased about that,’ Alice said to herself. ‘It will be a good-looking pig, but it would be terrible to be a child with a face like that.’
She was thinking about pigs and children when she suddenly saw the Cheshire Cat in a tree. The Cat grinned at her, and she went nearer to it.
‘Please,’ she said, ‘can you tell me which way to go from here?’
‘But where do you want to get to?’ said the Cat.
‘It doesn’t really matter- ‘began Alice.
‘Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,’ said the Cat.
‘but I would like to get somewhere,’ Alice explained.
‘If you just go on walking,’ said the Cat, ‘in the end you’ll arrive somewhere.’
