Додо, Алиса и Белый Кролик [Dodo, Alisa i Belyy Krolik] [English translation]

- Hey, who cried "ai-ai-ai" there?

- Well I! I am the White Rabbit.

You hurry again?

- Beg pardon, Dodo - there are so many different things!

With us in the Wonderland try not to bring to an end ---

Here I run backwards and forwards like a possessed hare, -

On two kilogram way I lost two metres in weight.

Why, why, fellow citizen, why am I a rabbit - a white one?!

If I were a gray one - I should not run but sit.

Everybody is awaiting me, call me - and all have to be visited,

And I am not able to refuse: I am awfully spineless, -

A limit should somehow be drawn for the rabbits! --

- But why do you tremble? And why are you white?

- Yes, because - ai-ai-ai! - such is my lot.

Oh, how I waste - almost the whole day!

I run, I run!

-But it is said, in childhood he was not white,

But he was afraid to miss something - and of anxiety became gray.
