-- then you do n't like all insects ? ' the Gnat went on , as quietly as if nothing had happened . ' I like them when they can talk , ' Alice said . ` None of them ever talk , where I come from . ' ` What sort of insects do you rejoice in , where YOU come from ? ' the Gnat inquired . ' I do n't REJOICE in insects at all , ' Alice explained , ` because I 'm rather afraid of them -- at least the large kinds . But I can tell you the names of some of them . ' ` Of course they answer to their names ? ' the Gnat remarked carelessly . ' I never knew them to do it . ' ` What 's the use of their having names , ' the Gnat said , ` if they wo n't answer to them ? ' ` No use to THEM , ' said Alice ; ` but it 's useful to the people who name them , I suppose . If not , why do things have names at all ? ' ' I ca n't say , ' the Gnat replied . ` Further on , in the wood down there , they 've got no names -- however , go on with your list of insects : you 're wasting time . ' ` Well , there 's the Horse-fly , ' Alice began , counting off the names on her fingers . ` All right , ' said the Gnat : ` half way up that bush , you 'll see a Rocking-horse-fly , if you look . It 's made entirely of wood , and gets about by swinging itself from branch to branch . ' ` What does it live on ? '
