` Well , `` OUTGRABING '' is something between bellowing and whistling , with a kind of sneeze in the middle : however , you 'll hear it done , maybe -- down in the wood yonder -- and when you 've once heard it you 'll be QUITE content . Who 's been repeating all that hard stuff to you ? ' ' I read it in a book , ' said Alice . ` But I had some poetry repeated to me , much easier than that , by -- Tweedledee , I think it was . ' ` As to poetry , you know , ' said Humpty Dumpty , stretching out one of his great hands , ' I can repeat poetry as well as other folk , if it comes to that -- ' ` Oh , it need n't come to that ! ' Alice hastily said , hoping to keep him from beginning . ` The piece I 'm going to repeat , ' he went on without noticing her remark , ` was written entirely for your amusement . ' Alice felt that in that case she really OUGHT to listen to it , so she sat down , and said ` Thank you ' rather sadly . ` In winter , when the fields are white , I sing this song for your delight -- only I do n't sing it , ' he added , as an explanation . ' I see you do n't , ' said Alice . ` If you can SEE whether I 'm singing or not , you 've sharper eyes than most . ' Humpty Dumpty remarked severely . Alice was silent . ` In spring , when woods are getting green , I 'll try and tell you what I mean . ' ` Thank you very much , ' said Alice . ` In summer , when the days are long , Perhaps you 'll understand the song : In autumn , when the leaves are brown , Take pen and ink , and write it down . ' ' I will , if I can remember it so long , ' said Alice . ` You need n't go on making remarks like that , ' Humpty Dumpty said : ` they 're not sensible , and they put me out . ' ' I sent a message to the fish : I told them `` This is what I wish . '' The little fishes of the sea , They sent an answer back to me .
The little fishes ' answer was `` We can not do it , Sir , because -- '' ' ` I 'm afraid I do n't quite understand , ' said XXXXX .
