Alice In Wonderland Page #3

Synopsis: Alice is a daydreaming young girl. She finds learning poems and listening to literature boring. She prefers stories with pictures and to live inside her imagination. One day, while enduring just such a poetry reading, she spots a large white rabbit...dressed in a jacket and carrying a large watch. He scurries off, saying he's late, for a very important date. She follows him through the forest. He then disappears down a rabbit hole. Alice follows, leading her to all manner of discoveries, characters and adventures.

what happened to them

- Poor things

- Poor things

Why? What did happen

to the oysters?

- Oh, you wouldn't be interested

- Oh, but I am

No, no, you're in

much too much of a hurry

- Well, perhaps I could spare a little time

- You could?

Well!

"The Walrus and the Carpenter"

Or "The Story of the Curious Oysters"

The sun was shining on the sea

Shining with all its might

He did his very best to make

the billows smooth and bright

And this was oddn because it was

The middle of the night

The walrus and the carpenter

Were walking close at hand

The beach was wide

from side to side

But much too full of sand

Mr Walrus said the carpenter

My brain begins to perk

We'll sweep this clear

in half a year

If you don't mind the work

Work!

- Th-The time has come

- The walrus said

To talk of other things.:

Of shoes and ships and sealing wax

And cabbages and kings

And why the sea is boiling hot

and whether pigs have wings

Calloo, callay

No work today

We're cabbages and kings

Oh, uh, oysters, come out

and walk with us

The day is warm and bright

A pleasant walk,

a pleasant talk,

would be a sheer delight

Yes, and should we

get hungry on the way,

we'll stop and, uh, have a bite

But Mother Oyster winked her eye

And shook her heavy head

She knew too well this was no time

To leave her oyster bed

The sea is nice

Take my advice

- And stay right here

- Mum said

Yes, yes, of course, of course,

but, uh, ha-ha!

The time has come my little friends

To talk of other things

Of shoes and ships and sealing wax

of cabbages and kings

And why the sea is boiling hot

and, uh, whether pigs have wings

Calloo, callay

Come run away

With cabbages and kings

Well, now, uh, let me see

Ah! A loaf of bread

is what we chiefly need

Listen, how 'bout some pepper

and salt and vinegar, eh?

Well, yes, yes. Splendid idea.

Ha-ha. Very good indeed

Now, if you're ready,

oysters, dear,

we can begin the feed

- Feed?

- Oh, yes. Uh...

The time has come my little friends

to talk of food and things

Of peppercorns and mustard seed

and other seasonings

We'll mix 'em all together

in a sauce that's fit for kings

Calloo, callay

We'll eat today

Like cabbages and kings

I, uh... I-I weep for you

I... Oh, excuse me.

I deeply sympathize

For I've enjoyed your company...

oh, much more than you realize

Little oysters.

Little oysters

But answer there came none

And this was scarcely odd because

They'd been eaten, every one

Well, uh...

The time has come!

With cabbages

And kings

- The end

- That was a very sad story

Aye, and there's a moral to it

Oh, yes, a very good moral,

if you happen to be an oyster

- Well, it's been a very nice visit...
