Alice's Adventures in Wonderland II Quiz

Answer: A pipe

This lengthy blue caterpillar sits atop a rather large mushroom smoking its hookah, a water pipe with a long tube that draws smoke through a water bowl. This cheeky caterpillar gives Alice quite a hard time, but ultimately proves to be able to provide the young lady with some useful advice.

Answer: Father William

The first two verses of this madcap poem read:

"You are old, father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head--
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"In my youth," father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."

Magnificent!

Answer: Serpent

The pigeon is frightened of Alice, believing her to be a serpent that is after its eggs. Alice seems to confirm her serpenthood to the pigeon by exclaiming that she has a taste for eggs.

Answer: A frog and a fish

The fish footman, servant of the Queen, hands a gigantic letter to the frog footman, in the service of the Duchess. The letter contains an invitation from the Queen to the Duchess to play croquet.

Answer: Pepper

So much pepper has gone in the soup that it infiltrates the air within the Duchess's home. Everyone, including the Duchess, is sneezing, her baby most of all.

Answer: Pig

Alice observes as the child is slowly tranformed into a pig. Once the metamorphosis is complete, she releases the beast into a nearby wood. 'If it had grown up,' says Alice, 'it would have made a dreadfully ugly child; but it makes rather a handsome pig, I think.'

Answer: No

In fact, Alice has just encountered the Cheshire-Cat in the Duchess's home. The Cheshire-Cat informs Alice that everyone in Wonderland is mad, and also gives her directions to the homes of both the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.

Answer: False

The Cheshire-Cat disappears from the tail up, with the last remaining vestige being its enormous grin. Oddly enough, despite the talk of 'madness' from the Cheshire-Cat, it is in fact one of the only creatures that talks some sense in Wonderland.

Answer: True

For no particular reason, Alice has chosen to saunter towards the home of the March Hare. At first sight of the bizarre house with chimneys shaped like rabbit ears, Alice remarks, 'Suppose it should be raving mad after all! I almost wish I'd gone to see the Hatter instead!'

Answer: A dormouse

Yes, the famed narcoleptic dormouse (something like a cross between a mouse and a squirrel). The dormouse sits in between the March Hare and the Mad Hatter, quite oblivious to the bizarrerie occurring under its very nose.
