Explore "The Nursery "Alice"" by Lewis Carroll on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When Alice and the Mouse had got out of the Pool of Tears, of course they were very wet: and so were a lot of other curious creatures, that had tumbled in as well. There was a Dodo (that's the great bird, in front, leaning on a walking-stick); and a Duck; and a Lory (that's just behind the Duck, looking over its head); and an Eaglet (that's on the left-hand side of the Lory); and several others.
Well, and so they didn't know how in the world they were to get dry again. But the Dodo -- -- who was a very wise bird -- -- told them the right way was to have a Caucus-Race. And what do you think "that" was?
