'Sap and sawdust,' said the Gnat. 'Go on with the list.'
Alice looked at the Rocking-horse-fly with great interest, and made up her mind that it must have been just repainted, it looked so bright and sticky; and then she went on.
'And there's the Dragon-fly.'
'Look on the branch above your head,' said the Gnat, 'and there you'll find a Snap-dragon-fly. Its body is made of plum-pudding, its wings of holly leaves, and its head is a raisin burning in brandy.
'And what does it live on?' Alice asked, as before.
'Frumenty and mince-pie,' the Gnat replied; 'and it makes its nest in a Christmas-box.'
