` To buy ! ' Alice echoed in a tone that was half astonished and half frightened -- for the oars , and the boat , and the river , had vanished all in a moment , and she was back again in the little dark shop . ' I should like to buy an egg , please , ' she said timidly . ` How do you sell them ? ' ` Fivepence farthing for one -- Twopence for two , ' the Sheep replied . ` Then two are cheaper than one ? ' Alice said in a surprised tone , taking out her purse . ` Only you MUST eat them both , if you buy two , ' said the Sheep . ` Then I 'll have ONE , please , ' said Alice , as she put the money down on the counter . For she thought to herself , ` They might n't be at all nice , you know . ' The Sheep took the money , and put it away in a box : then she said ' I never put things into people 's hands -- that would never do -- you must get it for yourself . ' And so saying , she went off to the other end of the shop , and set the egg upright on a shelf . ' I wonder WHY it would n't do ? ' thought Alice , as she groped her way among the tables and chairs , for the shop was very dark towards the end . ` The egg seems to get further away the more I walk towards it . Let me see , is this a chair ? Why , it 's got branches , I declare ! How very odd to find trees growing here ! And actually here 's a little brook ! Well , this is the very queerest shop I ever saw ! '
