Chapter V

Advice from a Caterpillar

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."
