Read this passage from Through The Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
“Didn't you hear me say ‘Feather’?” the Sheep cried angrily, taking up quite a bunch of needles.
“Indeed I did,” said Alice: “you've said it very often—and very loud. Please, where ARE the crabs?”
“In the water, of course!” said the Sheep, sticking some of the needles into her hair, as her hands were full. “Feather, I say!”
“WHY do you say ‘feather’ so often?” Alice asked at last, rather vexed. “I'm not a bird!”
“You are,” said the Sheep: “you're a little goose.”
