If you are thirsty, come and drink. [...] Are you not thirsty?" said the Lion. — "I'm dying of thirst," said Jill. — "Then drink," said the Lion. [...] — "Will you promise not to—do anything to me, if I do come?" said Jill. — "I make no promise," said the Lion. — "I daren't come and drink," said Jill. — "Then you will die of thirst," said the Lion. — "Oh, dear!" said Jill, coming another step nearer. — "I suppose I must go and look for another stream then." — "There is no other stream," said the Lion. (ch. 2)
