    The Cheshire Cat

     

    Eden Haiku: A bit difficult for a 8 year old butshe loves to read so muchand her Mom will help along I'm sure,,,

    Riddle Sideways: is the Cheshire cat French?

    Eden Haiku: Yes and I felt a bit sad about that: he doesn't smile, he "makes a face" and has a name that means that, I prefer a vanishing smile :)

    Eden Haiku: Cheshire cat was always my favorite, even though I didn't even know Cheshire was the name of a place...

    Riddle Sideways: had a Cheshire Cat in a tree on the old plot here

    Eden Haiku: The sound "Chech" is quite similar to the word for cat in French: "chat".

    Riddle Sideways: the cat vanished and the smile remained

    Eden Haiku: Oh yes, Riddle, that was so much fun!

    Eden Haiku: It's like when you almost forgot someone but their smile remains with you somehow :)

    Riddle Sideways: yes, there are people forgotten except one attribute

    Eden Haiku: True

    Riddle Sideways: Then there are originals that Disney remade and replaced images in our memories

    Riddle Sideways: most of the Alice characters look like Disney characters in memory now

    Eden Haiku: On my walk yesterday (between rains), I was walking on a wooden platform that was a the level of tree leaves and it was great to notice all the small bouquets of small tender green leaves.

    Adams Rubble: :)

    Eden Haiku: Only saw Burton's Alice and I don't remember much...

    Eden Haiku: The book comes with the original drawings by Tenniel, only they are now colorized.
