Tweedledee exclaimed , clapping his hands triumphantly . ` And if he left off dreaming about you , where do you suppose you 'd be ? ' ` Where I am now , of course , ' said Alice . ` Not you ! ' Tweedledee retorted contemptuously . ` You 'd be nowhere . Why , you 're only a sort of thing in his dream ! ' ` If that there King was to wake , ' added Tweedledum , ` you 'd go out -- bang ! -- just like a candle ! ' ' I should n't ! ' Alice exclaimed indignantly . ` Besides , if I 'M only a sort of thing in his dream , what are YOU , I should like to know ? ' ` Ditto ' said Tweedledum . ` Ditto , ditto ' cried Tweedledee . He shouted this so loud that Alice could n't help saying , ` Hush ! You 'll be waking him , I 'm afraid , if you make so much noise . ' ` Well , it no use YOUR talking about waking him , ' said Tweedledum , ` when you 're only one of the things in his dream . You know very well you 're not real . ' ' I AM real ! ' said Alice and began to cry .
` You wo n't make yourself a bit realler by crying , ' XXXXX remarked : ` there 's nothing to cry about . '
