`` Not a bit , '' said the caterpillar . `` All I know is , '' said Alice , `` it would feel queer to me . '' `` You ! '' said the caterpillar contemptuously , `` who are you ? '' Which brought them back again to the beginning of the conversation : Alice felt a little irritated at the caterpillar making such very short remarks , and she drew herself up and said very gravely `` I think you ought to tell me who you are , first . '' `` Why ? '' said the caterpillar . Here was another puzzling question : and as Alice had no reason ready , and the caterpillar seemed to be in a very bad temper , she turned round and walked away . `` Come back ! '' the caterpillar called after her , `` I 've something important to say ! '' This sounded promising : Alice turned and came back again . `` Keep your temper , '' said the caterpillar . `` Is that all ? '' said Alice , swallowing down her anger as well as she could . `` No , '' said the caterpillar . Alice thought she might as well wait , as she had nothing else to do , and perhaps after all the caterpillar might tell her something worth hearing . For some minutes it puffed away at its hookah without speaking , but at last it unfolded its arms , took the hookah out of its mouth again , and said `` so you think you 're changed , do you ? '' `` Yes , sir , '' said Alice , `` I ca 'n' t remember the things I used to know -- I 've tried to say `` How doth the little busy bee '' and it came all different ! '' `` Try and repeat `` You are old , father William '' , '' said the caterpillar . Alice folded her hands , and began : -LSB- Illustration -RSB- 1 .
`` You are old , father XXXXX , '' the young man said , `` And your hair is exceedingly white : And yet you incessantly stand on your head -- Do you think , at your age , it is right ? ''
