Alice: Your reflections are rather difficult to understand. I wish I could talk to someone who spoke less complex things. It would be more fun, I think.
Caterpillar: I think deeply. If you want light reflections, you should talk to the pond who lives over the hill and under the bridge.
Alice: I will go to the pond right away!
Alice goes to the pond.
Alice: Hello, Pond! I hear you do light conversations. How I would love to have someone to talk to. All the little things that are always so much more important.
Pond: I do not do light conversations. In fact, I am very busy. I have so much to do!
Alice: But the caterpillar said you do light reflections. I am sorry, I thought you would love to talk. You know, I have all these very curious things happening all day. I wish I could talk to someone.
Pond: Ah! He said light reflections, not light conversations. That I do. I do it all day and all night. I have to reflect all the images of the trees and shrubs and sky, the sun, and the birds - they are so difficult. They won't stand still. I have to keep my palette of colors always up to date. You never know who might show up and want to see a reflection. If you come close and look down at me, I could do a reflection of you too!
