"Once upon a time there were three little sisters," the Dormouse began; "and they lived at the bottom of a well-" "What did they live on?" said Alice.
"Treacle," said the Dormouse.
"'They couldn't have done that," Alice remarked. "They'd have been ill." "So they were," said the Dormouse; "very ill."
Alice went on: "But why did they live at the bottom of a well?" The Dormouse thought for a moment, and then said. "It was a treacle-well. And so these three little sisters were learning to draw."
"What did they draw?" said Alice.
"Treacle," said the Dormouse.
Alice did not wish to offend the Dormouse, so she said: "But I don't understand. Where did they draw the treacle from?"
"You can draw water out of a water-well," said the Hatter; "so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well, couldn't you?." "Really, now you ask me," said Alice, very much confused, "I don't think -"
"Then you shouldn't talk," said the Hatter.
