Further on, in the wood down there, they've got no names.
Well, there's the horse fly, Alice began, counting off the names on her fingers.
It's made entirely of wood, and gets about by swinging itself from branch to branch.
What does it live on?
Alice asked, with great curiosity.
Sap and sawdust, said the gnat.
Go on with the list.
Alice looked up at the rocking horse fly with great interest, and made up her mind it must have been just repainted.
It looked so bright and sticky.
And then she went on.
And there's the dragonfly?
Its body is made of plum pudding, its wings of holly leaves, and its head is a raisin burning in brandy.
And what does it live on?
Fruman tea and mince pie.
The gnat replied, and it makes its nest in a Christmas box.
And then there's the butterfly, Alice went on, after she had taken a good look at the insect with its head on fire, and had thought to herself.
I wonder if that's the reason the insects are so fond of flying into candles because they want to turn into snap dragonflies.
Crawling at your feet, said the gnat, Alice drew her feet back in some alarm, you may observe a bread and butterfly.
Its wings are thin slices of bread and butter, its body is a crust, and its head is a lump of sugar.
What does it live on?
