thumb "The Mock Turtle's Song", also known as the "Lobster Quadrille", is a song recited by the Mock Turtle in ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'', accompanied by a dance. It was taught to him at school by his teacher called Tortoise. == General == "The Lobster Quadrille" is a song written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). It is a parody of "The Spider and the Fly" by Mary Botham Howitt. It appeared in Chapter 10 of Carroll's book, ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'', and was sung by a character in the book, the Mock Turtle. The poem is very similar to "The Spider and the Fly" in the way that it rhymes and mimics its flow and tune. The first lines of the two songs are- ''Will you walk a little faster said a whiting to a snail...''(The Lobster Quadrille) ''Will you walk into my parlour, said the spider to the fly...'' (The Spider and the Fly) The song flows with the chapters 9 and 10, "The Mock Turtle's Story" and "The Lobster Quadrille", which are about the Mock Turtle's life and schooling under the sea, because the song is about animals such as porpoises, sea snails and lobsters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Mock Turtle's Song」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
