Алиса в Стране чудес / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

'I'm afraid I am,' said Alice; 'I can't remember some things.'

'What things can't you remember?' asked the Caterpillar.

'Some verses, for example,' Alice replied in a very melancholy voice.

'Repeat, “You Are Old, Father William,”' said the Caterpillar.

Alice folded her hands, and began to recite the poem:

'You are old, Father William,' the young man said,.

'That is wrong,' said the Caterpillar.

'Maybe, not quite right, I'm afraid,' said Alice, timidly.

'It is wrong from beginning to end,' said the Caterpillar decidedly, and there was silence for some minutes.

'What size do you want to be?' asked the Caterpillar.

'You know,.,' Alice began.

'I DON'T know,' said the Caterpillar.

Alice said nothing, she felt that she was losing her temper.

'Are you content now?' said the Caterpillar.

'Well, I want to be a little larger,' said Alice: 'three inches is such a wretched height to be.'

'It is a very good height indeed!' said the Caterpillar angrily (it was exactly three inches high); and it put the hookah into its mouth and began to smoke again.
