“Tap on the floor three times,” the dog said.
Lucy did as he said, and a chair appeared, and beside it a table filled with books. Lucy opened one of the books and looked at the pictures.
“I cannot see them,” said the head with the red hair. Lucy moved the book to one side.
“I should think you would remember that you have three heads,” said the head with the dark hair. “How do you expect me to see if you keep the book over that side?”
Lucy moved the book to the other side, and then the head with the red hair began to fuss again.
“Oh dear!” said Lucy. “You are the most selfish heads I ever saw. I will go to the cow and see if she can help me,” she said.
“Where can I find a bed?” she asked the cow. “These heads have just tired me out.”
“I will get you one,” said the cow. “Moo, moo!” she called up and from the floor came a bed.
Lucy lay down upon it. “I do not want to go to sleep,” said the head with dark hair. “I do,” said Lucy. “I am tired and I am going to sleep; you can stay awake if you wish to.”
“I do not feel tired,” said the head with red hair; “I feel like singing,” and it began to sing so loudly that Lucy had to get up.
