I said you LOOKED like an egg , Sir , ' Alice gently explained . ` And some eggs are very pretty , you know ' she added , hoping to turn her remark into a sort of a compliment . ` Some people , ' said Humpty Dumpty , looking away from her as usual , ` have no more sense than a baby ! ' Alice did n't know what to say to this : it was n't at all like conversation , she thought , as he never said anything to HER ; in fact , his last remark was evidently addressed to a tree -- so she stood and softly repeated to herself : -- ` Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall : Humpty Dumpty had a great fall . All the King 's horses and all the King 's men Could n't put Humpty Dumpty in his place again . ' ` That last line is much too long for the poetry , ' she added , almost out loud , forgetting that Humpty Dumpty would hear her . ` Do n't stand there chattering to yourself like that , ' Humpty Dumpty said , looking at her for the first time , ` but tell me your name and your business . ' ` My NAME is Alice , but -- ' ` It 's a stupid enough name ! ' Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently . ` What does it mean ? ' ` MUST a name mean something ? ' Alice asked doubtfully . ` Of course it must , ' Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh : ` MY name means the shape I am -- and a good handsome shape it is , too . With a name like yours , you might be any shape , almost . ' ` Why do you sit out here all alone ? ' said Alice , not wishing to begin an argument . ` Why , because there 's nobody with me ! ' cried Humpty Dumpty . ` Did you think I did n't know the answer to THAT ? Ask another . '
` XXXXX n't you think you 'd be safer down on the ground ? '
