But he never heeded ; for out of the dust flew a bat , and the giant had him in a moment . `` Dear me ! This is even more important ! Here is a cognate species to that which Macgilliwaukie Brown insists is confined to the Buddhist temples of Little Thibet ; and now when I look at it , it may be only a variety produced by difference of climate ! '' And having bagged his bat , up he got , and on he went ; while all the people ran , being in none the better humour for having their temple smashed for the sake of three obscure species of Podurella , and a Buddhist bat . `` Well , '' thought Tom , `` this is a very pretty quarrel , with a good deal to be said on both sides . But it is no business of mine . '' And no more it was , because he was a water-baby , and had the original sow by the right ear ; which you will never have , unless you be a baby , whether of the water , the land , or the air , matters not , provided you can only keep on continually being a baby . So the giant ran round after the people , and the people ran round after the giant , and they are running , unto this day for aught I know , or do not know ; and will run till either he , or they , or both , turn into little children . And then , as Shakespeare says -LRB- and therefore it must be true -RRB- - `` Jack shall have Gill Nought shall go ill The man shall have his mare again , and all go well . '' Then Tom came to a very famous island , which was called , in the days of the great traveller Captain Gulliver , the Isle of Laputa . But Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid has named it over again the Isle of Tomtoddies , all heads and no bodies . And when Tom came near it , he heard such a grumbling and grunting and growling and wailing and weeping and whining that he thought people must be ringing little pigs , or cropping puppies ' ears , or drowning kittens : but when he came nearer still , he began to hear words among the noise ; which was the Tomtoddies ' song which they sing morning and evening , and all night too , to their great idol Examination - `` I ca n't learn my lesson : the examiner 's coming ! '' And that was the only song which they knew . And when Tom got on shore the first thing he saw was a great pillar , on one side of which was inscribed , `` Playthings not allowed here ; '' at which he was so shocked that he would not stay to see what was written on the other side . Then he looked round for the people of the island : but instead of men , women , and children , he found nothing but turnips and radishes , beet and mangold wurzel , without a single green leaf among them , and half of them burst and decayed , with toad-stools growing out of them . Those which were left began crying to Tom , in half a dozen different languages at once , and all of them badly spoken , `` I ca n't learn my lesson ; do come and help me ! '' And one cried , `` Can you show me how to extract this square root ? '' And another , `` Can you tell me the distance between -LSB- alpha -RSB- Lyrae and -LSB- beta -RSB- Camelopardis ? '' And another , `` What is the latitude and longitude of Snooksville , in Noman 's County , Oregon , U.S. ? ''
And another , `` What was the name XXXXX Mutius Scaevola 's thirteenth cousin 's grandmother 's maid 's cat ? ''
