` It was n't very civil of you to sit down without being invited , ' said the March Hare . ' I did n't know it was YOUR table , ' said Alice ; ` it 's laid for a great many more than three . ' ` Your hair wants cutting , ' said the Hatter . He had been looking at Alice for some time with great curiosity , and this was his first speech . ` You should learn not to make personal remarks , ' Alice said with some severity ; ` it 's very rude . ' The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this ; but all he SAID was , ` Why is a raven like a writing-desk ? ' ` Come , we shall have some fun now ! ' thought Alice . ` I 'm glad they 've begun asking riddles . -- I believe I can guess that , ' she added aloud . ` Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it ? ' said the March Hare . ` Exactly so , ' said Alice . ` Then you should say what you mean , ' the March Hare went on . ' I do , ' Alice hastily replied ; ` at least -- at least I mean what I say -- that 's the same thing , you know . ' ` Not the same thing a bit ! ' said the Hatter . ` You might just as well say that `` I see what I eat '' is the same thing as `` I eat what I see '' ! ' ` You might just as well say , ' added the March Hare , ` that `` I like what I get '' is the same thing as `` I get what I like '' ! ' ` You might just as well say , ' added the Dormouse , who seemed to be talking in his sleep , ` that `` I breathe when I sleep '' is the same thing as `` I sleep when I breathe '' ! '
` It IS the same thing with you , ' said the Hatter , and here the conversation dropped , and the party sat silent XXXXX a minute , while Alice thought over all she could remember about ravens and writing-desks , which was n't much .
