Then Daisy said-- 'If we could have a sort of play to keep us out of the way.

I once read a story about an animal race.

Everybody had an animal, and they had to go how they liked, and the one that got in first got the prize.

There was a tortoise in it, and a rabbit, and a peacock, and sheep, and dogs, and a kitten.' This proposal left us cold, as Albert's uncle says, because we knew there could not be any prize worth bothering about.

And though you may be ever ready and willing to do anything for nothing, yet if there's going to be a prize there must BE a prize and there's an end of it.
Thus the idea was not followed up.
