With sobs and tears he sorted out those of the largest size.
"I like the walrus best." said Alice.
"Because I think he felt at least a little bit sorry for the poor oysters, unlike that greedy carpenter."
"But the walrus ate more of the oysters than the carpenter did." said Tweedledee. "He held his handkerchief in front of his mouth to hide how many he was eating, so the carpenter couldn't count them."
"That was rather unfair of him!", she exclaimed. "Not to mention rude, and despicably mean to the oysters. In that case, I like the carpenter best since he didn't eat as many as the walrus."
"But he ate as many of them as he could." noted Tweedledum. "Every single oyster the walrus left, he took."
"Well!" said Alice, clearly puzzled and disturbed by the whole story. "They were both very unpleasant characters and I don't like either of them."
