Алиса в Стране чудес / Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

'I do,' Alice hastily replied; 'at least-at least I mean what I say-that's the same thing, you know.'

'Not the same thing at all!' said the Hatter. 'You can say “I see what I eat” is the same thing as “I eat what I see”!'

'You can say,' added the March Hare, 'that “I like what I get” is the same thing as “I get what I like”!'

'You can say,' added the Dormouse in its sleep, 'that “I breathe when I sleep” is the same thing as “I sleep when I breathe”!'

'It is the same thing to you,' said the Hatter, and here the conversation dropped, and they sat silent for a minute.

'What day of the month is it?' the Hatter asked. He took his watch out of his pocket. He was looking at it, shaking it and holding it to his ear.

Alice considered a little, and then said 'The fourth.'

'Two days wrong!' sighed the Hatter. 'Listen to me: you must not use the butter!' he looked angrily at the March Hare.

'It was the best butter,' the March Hare meekly replied.

'Yes, but there were some crumbs,' the Hatter grumbled: 'you used the bread-knife.'
