ana.words, who are you?

the caterpillar and alice looked at each other for some time in silence:
at last the caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed
her in a languid, sleepy voice.

"who are you?" said the caterpillar.

this was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. alice replied,
rather shyly, "i—i hardly know, sir, just at present — at least i know who
i was when i got up this morning, but i think i must have been changed
several times since then."

"what do you mean by that?" said the caterpillar sternly. "explain
yourself!"

"i can't explain myself, i'm afraid, sir," said alice, "because i'm not
myself, you see."

"i don't see," said the caterpillar.

"i'm afraid i can't put it more clearly," alice replied very politely,
"for i can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many
different sizes in a day is very confusing."

"it isn't," said the caterpillar.

"well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet," said alice; "but when you
have to turn into a chrysalis — you will some day, you know — and then after
that into a butterfly, i should think you'll feel it a little queer,
won't you?"

"not a bit," said the caterpillar.

"well, perhaps your feelings may be different," said alice; "all i know
is, it would feel very 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's 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."
