This is an extract from Alice's adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.Alice is setting by the river with her sister when she sees a white rabbit.She follows the white rabbit down a hole into an imaginary place called Wonderland.There,Alice meets the Cheshire Cat,which is just one many strange adventures she has.

The Cat only grinned when it saw Alice.It looked good-natured,but it had very long claws and a great many teeth,so she felt it should be treated with respect.

"Cheshire Puss,"she began,rather timidly, as she did not know whether it would like the name.However ,it only grinned a little wider."It seems pleased so far,"thought Alice,and she went on.
"Would you like to tell me,please, which way I should go from here?
         "That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,"said the Cat.
          "I don't much care where,"said Alice.
          "Then it doesn't matter which way you go,"said the Cat.
         "Well,I want to get somewhere,"Alice added as an explanation.
        "Oh,you're sure to do that,"answered the Cat,"if you only walk for long enough."
Alice felt that this could not be denied ,so she tried another question."What sort of people live around here?"
"in that direction,"the Cat said,waving its paw around,"lives a Hatter,and in that direction,"waving the other paw,"lives a March Hare.Visit either you like;they're both mad.
         "But I don't want to visit mad people,"Alice remarked.
         "Oh,you can't avoid that,"said the Cat. "We're all mad here.I'm mad.you're mad."
       "How do you know I'm mad?said Alice.
        "You must be,"said the Cat,"or you wouldn't have come here."
        Alice didn't think proved it at all.However,she went on,And how do you know that you're mad?"
        "To begin with,said the Cat,"a dog's not mad.You agree with that?"
        "I suppose so,"said Alice.
        "Well then,"the Cat went on,"you see a dog growls when it's angry,and wags its tail when it's pleased,and wag my tail when I'm angry.Therefore I'm mad."
       "I call it purring,not growling,"said Alice.
       "Call it what you like,"said the Cat."Are you going to play croquet with the queen today?"
     Alice replied,"I would like to very much but I haven't been invited yet."
      "You'll see me there,"said the Cat,and vanished.
