Alice in Wonderland, The Mock Turtle

A sorrowful turtle's schooldays, a gryphon's sea-dance, and the tide going quietly out.

Retold for sleep from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, first published in 1865 and long out of copyright. The story is Carroll's; every sentence here is our own.
