Alice was starting to get tired of sitting next to her sister by the lake, with nothing to do: once or twice she had peeked at the book her sister was reading, but the book had no drawings or dialogues. 'And what good is a book,' thought Alice, 'without drawings or dialogues?' So she was thinking to herself (as best she could, as the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) if the pleasure of making a daisy chain would be worth the effort of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a pink-eyed White Rabbit ran by. her.
CARROLL, Lewis. "Alice in Wonderland". Rosaura Eichenberg Translation. Porto Alegre: L&PM, 2007. P. 11-12.
