7. Pigs have wings
Together Alice and the Hatter crouched behind a large bush and spied on a group of young pigs, who were rooting around in the mud for some delightful truffles to eat.
"I don't see any wings Hatter."
"They're there Alice, trust me. You can't always see them however. In order to get the pigs to take flight, you have to startle them in a most particular way."
"I didn't think there were different ways to startle someone."
"Oh yes! Many different ways in fact. I do enjoy a good startle, I find it to be most enjoyable. It's like a fresh made raspberry marmalade on top of a crumpet just out of the oven. You see I am accomplished in startling people in the ways of---"
"Hatter. You're rambling again."
"I'll just have to show you Alice dear."
With that said the Hatter centered his hat and leaped from the bushes. All the pigs looked up at the mad man, shock written across their faces.
"My knickers don't taste like taffy! Help me find my sixpence!" He bellowed at the top of his lungs.
In unison the pigs began to squeal and run about in a panic. Wings grew from their backs and one by one they took flight, seeking escape from the lunatic ravings of the Hatter. Alice couldn't believe her eyes.
Joining Hatter by his side, Alice slipped her hand into his and watched the pigs fly off into the sunrise.
"You would think I'd learn to stop doubting you Hatter. Anything is possible in Wonderland."
"Not anything my dear. Everything."
"...Isn't that the same thing Hatter?"
"Of course not! Anything can't be Everything but Everything can be Something, but Something can't be Nothing however Nothing can most be definitely be Something and---"
"Hatter."
Author's Note:
Here is the first of the four new impossible things. I hope you liked it. If you catch the reference I'll give you a banana sticker!
I love writing the hatter by the way, it gives my inter lunatic a chance to rave.
