Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

After a short time, there were a lot of people round the Cat. There was the King and Queen, and a man with a very long knife in his hand.
'How can I cut off its head?' asked the man with the knife. ' I can't do it and I'm not going to.' ' Oh yes you are,' said the King.' It's got a head, so you can cut it off.'
'Do something now, or I'll cut off everybody's head!' said the Queen angrily. ' What do you think ?' the King asked Alice.
Alice thought for a minute. Then she said,' It's the Duchess's Cat. Ask her about it.' ' Bring the Duchess here,' the Queen said.
Then the Cheshire Cat's head started to vanish. Somebody came back with the Duchess. But now there was nothing above Alice's head — not an eye or an ear or a smile. The King looked for the Cat for some time, but he couldn't find it anywhere.
