You've probably read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland—and the second story, where she passes through the looking-glass and finds herself in Through the Looking-Glass? And you, of course, remember the name of the author of these books. Isn't there something magical about even his name—Lewis Carroll.
He was a professor of mathematics, as well as a storyteller and poet, and simply a great inventor, a master of all sorts of games and puzzles. He even invented a round billiard table, which he loved to play after evening tea with the Hatter and the March Hare. In general, he loved all things round, and since childhood he dreamed of going on a round-the-world trip to find the place where TODAY turns into TOMORROW. But then he realized there was no need to fuss: even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. While a running clock, even if it runs ahead by one minute a day, will only tell the correct time after five years. So, too, the author, who may be quietly playing a joke on his reader, will occasionally say something truthful.
