Alicio do rerigardis al la ĵurintarujo, kaj vidis, ke pro sia eksciteco ŝi remetis la Lacerton kun la kapo malsupren. Pro tio la kompatinda besteto melankolie svingadis la voston, sed tute ne povis rektigi sin. | Alice looked at the jury-box, and saw that, in her haste, she had put the Lizard in head downwards, and the poor little thing was waving its tail about in a melancholy way, being quite unable to move. |
Ĉe ĉiu revido de tiu konfuzita birdvizaĝo ŝi ne povis ne ekridegi; ankaŭ, kiam ŝi sukcesis malsuprenigi la kapon, kaj denove volis fari la frapon, jen la erinaco, malvolvinte sin dum ŝi penis mastrumi la birdon, jam rampas for. Krom ĉio ĉi, en la direkto kien ŝi volas frapsendi la erinacon, plej ofte malhelpis la tre onda grundsurfaco; kaj fine la arkoj ofte rektigis sin kaj marŝis for por alparoli aliajn arkojn. | The chief difficulty Alice found at first was in managing her flamingo: she succeeded in getting its body tucked away, comfortably enough, under her arm, with its legs hanging down, but generally, just as she had got its neck nicely straightened out, and was going to give the hedgehog a blow with its head, it would twist itself round and look up in her face, with such a puzzled expression that she could not help bursting out laughing: and when she had got its head down, and was going to begin again, it was very provoking to find that the hedgehog had unrolled itself, and was in the act of crawling away: besides all this, there was generally a ridge or furrow in the way wherever she wanted to send the hedgehog to, and, as the doubled-up soldiers were always getting up and walking off to other parts of the ground, Alice soon came to the conclusion that it was a very difficult game indeed. |
