Text Appearing Before Image:
:We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each, The eldest Oyster looked at him, But never a word he said:The eldest Oyster winked his eye, And shook his heavy head-Meaning to say he did not choose To leave the oyster-bed. But four young Oysters hurried up, All eager for the treat:Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat— AND TWEEDLEDEE. 75 And this was odd, because, you know,They hadnt any feet. Four other Oysters followed them, And yet another four;And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more, and more—All hopping through the frothy waves, And scrambling to the shore. The Walrus and the CarpenterWalked on a mile or so, And then they rested on a rockConveniently low: And all the little Oysters stoodAnd waited in a row. 1 The time has come the Walrus said, To talk of many things :Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— 76 TWEEDLEDUM And why the sea is boiling hot—And whether pigs have wings

1 But wait a bit, the Oysters cried,Before we have our chat; For some of us are out of breath,A nd all of us are fat! No hurry! said the Carpenter.They tltanked him much for that. A loaf of bread, the Walrus said,Is what we chiefly need: AND TWEEDLEDEE. 77 Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed—Now, if you re ready, Oysters dear, We can begin to feed. But not on us! the Oysters cried, Turning a little blue. After such kindness, that would be A dismal thing to do! The night is fine, the Walrus said. Do you, admire the view? It was so kind of you to come! And you are very nice!The Carpenter said nothing but Out us another slice.I wish you were not quite so deaf— I ve had to ask you twice! It seems a shame, the Walrus said,* To play them such a trick. TWEEDLEDUM After we ve brought them out so far,And made them trot so quick! The Carpenter said nothing butThe butters spread too thick!
