The Unicorn looked dreamily at Alice, and said Talk, child.Alice could not help her lips curling up into a smile as she began: Do you know, I always thought Unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!Well, now that we have seen each other, said the Unicorn, If you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you. Is that a bargain?
The Unicorn gazed at Alice with a dreamy expression and encouraged her to speak, prompting Alice to smile and share her thoughts about Unicorns. She admitted she had always thought them to be mythical creatures and had never encountered one in real life.
The Unicorn proposed a mutual agreement: if Alice would believe in its existence, it would believe in hers as well. This exchange emphasized themes of mutual faith and the magic of belief, central to the fantastical world of Lewis Carroll's story.
