THE Story of Alice and A Queen's Teachings on The Philosophy of Impossibility

`I`m seven and a half exactly.' 
`You needn't say "exactually,"' the Queen remarked: `I can believe it without that. 
Now I'll give you something to believe. 
I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day.' 

`I can't believe that!' said Alice. 

`Can't you?' the Queen said in a pitying tone. 
`Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.' 

Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said: 
`one can't believe impossible things.' 

`I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 
`When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. 
Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'
