I don’t think…
Alice met the Mad Hatter. Can you nd the two tea cups that are the same?
Then you shouldn’t talk.
Lewis Carroll’s books about Alice are sometimes called nonsense books. In the books, things happen that don’t make sense. Characters say things that make little sense. Yet, this nonsense makes people think and sometimes learn something new. Lewis Carroll’s “nonsense” quotes are some of the most thoughtful and memorable in the world of books.
Meeting the Queen
Alice met the grumpy Queen of Hearts in Wonderland. The Queen asked Alice her age. “I’m seven and a half exactly,” said Alice.
“You needn’t say exactly,” the Queen remarked. “I can believe it without that. Now I’ll give you something to believe. I’m just one hundred and one, five months, and a day.” “I can’t believe that,” said Alice. “One can’t believe impossible things.” “I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Write down six impossible things. What would need to happen to make them possible?
