Text heard on Sample:
"A trifle, if you please".
But I was thinking of a plan
To dye one’s whiskers green,
And always use so large a fan
That they could not be seen.
So, having no reply to give
To what the old man said,
I cried "Come, tell me how you live!"
And thumped him on the head.

from Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
