Who in the world am I?

'Dear, dear! How queer everything is today! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember a little diference. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, "Who in the world am I?" Ah, that's the great puzzle!' And she began thinking over all the children she knew that were of the same age as herself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them. 'I'm sure I'm not Ada' she said, 'for her hair goes in such long ringlets, and mine doesn´t go in ringlets at all; and I'm sure I can´t be Mabel, for I know all sorts of things, and she, oh! she knows such a very little! Besides, she's she, and I'm I, - oh dear, how puzzling it all is! I'll try if I know all the things I used to know. [...]


'I'm sure those are not the rights words', said poor Alice, and her eyes filled with tears again as she went on, 'I must be Mabel after all, and I shall have to go and live in that poky little house, and have next to no toys to play with, and oh! ever so many lessons to learn! no, I've made up my mind about it; If I'm Mabel, I'll stay down here! It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying "Come up again, dear!" I shall only look up and say "Who am I then? Tell me that first, and then, if I like being that person, I'll come up: if not, I'll stay down here till I'm somebody else"
