It's a passage from the well-known book by Lewis Carroll: «Alice's Adventures in Wonderland». As far as I
know, the novel was written in the last century. The passage is about the meeting of Alice {the main character
of the novel) with the Cat.
The Cat saw Alice and grinned. It looked good-natured but Alice felt that it ought to be treated with respect
because it had very long claws and a great many teeth.
Alice didn't know how to address it. At last she decided to call it «Cheshire Puss». She got used to speaking
politely. Alice began timidly as she didn't know whether it would like the name. Alice saw the Cat grin a little
wider and she went on. She asked the Cat to tell her which way she could go from there. The Cat said that it
depended on where she wanted to get to. Alice said that she didn't much care where.
To these words the Cat replied that it didn't matter which way to go. Alice added as an explanation that she
wanted to get somewhere. The Cat remarked that if she went long enough she was sure to get somewhere.
Alice got embarrassed. But she tried another question. She asked what sort of people lived about there. The
Cat told her that in the one direction lived a Hatter and in the other direction lived a March Hare. According to
the Cat, they were both mad.
Alice said that she didn't want to go among mad people. The Cat replied that she couldn't help that because
they were all mad there.
Alice asked how he knew that she was mad. The Cat explained that she must be mad or she wouldn't have
come there. Alice didn't get convinced. She didn't think it to be a proof. She wondered how the Cat knew it was
mad.
As an explanation the Cat adduced an example. A dog growls when it is angry and wags its tail when it's
pleased. Referring to this fact it concluded that it was mad because it growled when it was pleased and wagged
its tail when it was angry.
Alice dared to say that she called it purring, not growling. The Cat allowed her to call it what she liked. Then
it wondered if she played croquet with the Queen on that day.
Alice said that she should like it very much but she hadn't been invited yet.
The Cat promised that she would see it there and vanished. Alice was not much surprised at this. It was
caused by the fact that she was getting used to queer things happening. She hoped that everything would be all
right.
