Walrus and the Carpenter #2

And here are the Malthusians communicating to each other via seashell -

The Walrus and the Carpenter

The Walrus and the Carpenter

Were walking close at hand;

They wept like anything to see

Such quantities of sand:

"If this were only cleared away,'

They said, "it would be grand!'

– Through the Looking Glass, Chapter Four

This is the introductory bout of weeping, they weep more later on while consuming the oysters.
