Caterpillar
You’ll get used to it in time.
Alice
Are you too big or am I too small?
[She compares her height wonderingly with the tall flowers.]
Caterpillar
[Looks at her sleepily, yawns, shakes himself, slides down from the mushroom and crawls slowly away.]
One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.
Alice
One side of what? The other side of what?
