Алиса в Стране чудес / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

'But I don't want to see mad people,' Alice remarked.

'Oh, we're all mad here,' said the Cat. 'I'm mad. You're mad.'

'How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.

'You must be,' said the Cat, 'you are here.'

'And how do you know that you're mad?' she went on.

'A dog is not mad,' said the Cat, 'Do you believe that?'

'I suppose so,' said Alice.

'Well, then,' the Cat went on, 'you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad. Do you play croquet with the Queen today?'

'With pleasure,' said Alice, 'but I do not have an invitation.'

'You'll see me there,' said the Cat, and vanished.

Alice was not much surprised at this. While she was looking at the place where the cat was, it suddenly appeared again.

'And what became of the baby?' said the Cat. 'I forgot to ask.'

'It turned into a pig,' Alice quietly said.

'Of course,' said the Cat, and vanished again.

Alice waited a little, but the Cat did not appear, and after a minute or two she walked on in the direction in which the March Hare lived.
