Alice in Wonderland - A Curious Question about Ravens and Desks
Alice: [thinking about the riddle]
Why is a raven like a writing desk? You know I-I'm pretty sure I can guess.
The March Hare:
You mean you think you know the answer?
Alice:
Yes.
The March Hare:
Well, then, you should say what you mean.
Alice:
Well, I do. At-at least, at least I mean what I say, that-that is the same thing.
Mad Hatter:
It's not the same thing at all. You might as well say "I eat what I see" is the same thing as "I see what I eat!
The March Hare: [eyeing the pie, picking up a fly swatter; whacks the pie]
You might as well say "I like what I get" is the same as "I get what I like!
The Dormouse: [talking in his sleep, then suddenly awake; nods off]
Aah! You-you, or you might as well say "I breathe when I sleep" is the same thing as "I sleep when I breathe.
Mad Hatter: [chuckles]
Well, it is the same thing with you.

Have some wine.
Alice:
I don't see any wine.

There isn't any, and you're too young.
Alice:
It wasn't very polite of you to offer it then.
The March Hare:
It wasn't very polite of you to sit down without an invitation.
