  `You promised to tell me your history, you know,' said Alice,

`and why it is you hate--C and D,' she added in a whisper, half

afraid that it would be offended again.



  `Mine is a long and a sad tale!' said the Mouse, turning to

Alice, and sighing.



  `It IS a long tail, certainly,' said Alice, looking down with

wonder at the Mouse's tail' `but why do you call it sad?'  And

she kept on puzzling about it while the Mouse was speaking, so

that her idea of the tale was something like this:--



                    `Fury said to a

                   mouse, That he

                 met in the

               house,

            "Let us

              both go to

                law:  I will

                  prosecute

                    YOU.  --Come,

                       I'll take no

                        denial; We

                     must have a

                 trial:  For

              really this

           morning I've

          nothing

         to do."

           Said the

             mouse to the

               cur, "Such

                 a trial,

                   dear Sir,

                         With

                     no jury

                  or judge,

                would be

              wasting

             our

              breath."

               "I'll be

                 judge, I'll

                   be jury,"

                         Said

                    cunning

                      old Fury:

                     "I'll

                      try the

                         whole

                          cause,

                             and

                        condemn

                       you

                      to

                       death."





  `You are not attending!' said the Mouse to Alice severely.

`What are you thinking of?'



  `I beg your pardon,' said Alice very humbly:  `you had got to

the fifth bend, I think?'
