Alirin walked in the direction that she saw Tweedledee go, hoping to catch up to him. After a few moments she could see him standing by a tree holding an umbrella.
“Do you think it’s going to rain?” Alirin asked, looking up at the sky, which was bright and clear with not a cloud in sight.
“No, I don't think it is,” he said: “at least -- not under here.”
“But it may rain outside?”
"It may, if it chooses” Tweedledee answered, “I’m no objection. Contrariwise.”
He stood there for a moment looking very sad, constantly looking back up at the sky; perhaps hoping that Tweedledum would come falling back down.
“Would you like to hear a poem?” he asked her.
“Alright. But is it very long?” she asked, not really wanting to stay around for longer than necessary.
“Yes, the longest!” he said, and so he began.
The sun was shining on the sea,
Shining with all his might:
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright --
And this was odd, because it was
The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily,
Because she thought the sun
Had got no business to be there
After the day was done --
"It's very rude of him," she said,
"To come and spoil the fun!"
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying over head --
There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
Tweedledee took a deep sigh as he stopped reciting and shed a tear as he looked back up at the sky hopefully. Alirin was about to ask him to continue, hoping that finishing the poem would help him keep his mind off Tweedledum’s absence, when a familiar black bird appeared again in the sky. Begore either of them could react the crow had swooped down and snatched up Tweedledee and flown away.
Alirin stared up at the sky sadly, feeling terrible about losing the strange little men, and continued walking, hoping that the two were together now and that she could soon find a way to return home.
