Alice's Tears

Alice was very fond of pretending to be two people. When she looked down at her feet, they seemed to be almost out of sight. She thought how funny it'll seem sending presents to one's own feet. But I must be kind to them, thought Alice; or perhaps they won't walk the way I want to go. Let me give them a new pair of boots every Christmas. Oh dear, would nonsense I'm talking. A great girl like you might well say this. To go on crying this way, stop this moment, I tell you.
