` Do you call THAT a whisper ? ' cried the poor King , jumping up and shaking himself . ` If you do such a thing again , I 'll have you buttered ! It went through and through my head like an earthquake ! ' ` It would have to be a very tiny earthquake ! ' thought Alice . ` Who are at it again ? ' she ventured to ask . ` Why the Lion and the Unicorn , of course , ' said the King . ` Fighting for the crown ? ' ` Yes , to be sure , ' said the King : ` and the best of the joke is , that it 's MY crown all the while ! Let 's run and see them . ' And they trotted off , Alice repeating to herself , as she ran , the words of the old song : -- ` The Lion and the Unicorn were fighting for the crown : The Lion beat the Unicorn all round the town . Some gave them white bread , some gave them brown ; Some gave them plum-cake and drummed them out of town . ' ` Does -- the one -- that wins -- get the crown ? ' she asked , as well as she could , for the run was putting her quite out of breath . ` Dear me , no ! ' said the King . ` What an idea ! ' ` Would you -- be good enough , ' Alice panted out , after running a little further , ` to stop a minute -- just to get -- one 's breath again ? '
` I 'm GOOD enough , ' the XXXXX said , ` only I 'm not strong enough .
