The Garden of Live Flowers

“I will see the garden better,” said Alice to herself, “if I get to the top of that hill.

And she followed the path, but it always came back to the house.

“No!” Alice said, looking up at the house. “I don’t want to go in yet!”

She went to the hill again. This time she walked past a large flower-bed.

“O Tiger-lily,” said Alice to one flower, “I wish you could talk![6 - I wish you could talk! – Жаль, что вы не умеете разговаривать!]”

“We can talk,” said the Tiger-lily, “when there is someone to talk to[7 - when there is someone to talk to – когда есть с кем поговорить].

Alice was so surprised that she could not speak for a minute. Then she asked, “And can all the flowers talk?”

“Yes, as well as you can,” said the Tiger-lily.

“Are you frightened that nobody takes care of you[8 - nobody takes care of you – никто не заботиться о вас]?”

“There’s the tree in the middle,” said the Rose, “what else is it good for?”

“But what can it do, if any danger comes?” Alice asked.

“It can bark[9 - bark – слово-омоним: лаять; кора (зд. игра слов)],” said the Rose.

“Didn’t you know that?” cried another Daisy.

“How can you talk so well?” Alice asked. “I visited many gardens, but flowers couldn’t talk.”

“Put your hand down, and feel the ground,” said the Tiger-lily.
