Little girl Quote by Lewis Carroll
““But I'm not a serpent, I tell you!" said Alice. "I'm a --- I'm a ---." "Well! What are you?" said the Pigeon. "I can see you're trying to invent something!" "I- I'm a little girl," said Alice, rather doubtfully, as she remembered the number of changes she had gone through that day... ..."How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one munute to another! However, I've got back to my right size: the next thing is, to get into that beautiful garden- how is that to be done, I wonder?””
