Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland Series that includes 8 Tradition caches named after Alice and the characters surrounding her in the illustration below.

The Mock Turtle is a very melancholy character, it is thought because he used to be a real turtle. He tells Alice his history of going to school in the sea, but cannot understand the school system that Alice describes to him-least of all the poetry she recites. Ironically, she cannot understand it either. This is a pun on the two meanings of "school", referring in the turtle's usage to a school of fish or marine animals, and by Alice to an institute of learning (school). He says his teacher was an old Sea Turtle called Tortoise. When Alice asks him, why he was called Tortoise if he was a Turtle, the Mock Turtle answers "We called him tortoise because he taught us!"
