(The hatter looked surprised, but he said, 'Why is a bird like a desk?'
Alice was pleased. She enjoyed playing wordgames, so she said, 'That's an easy question.'
'Do you mean you know the answer?' said the March Hare. 'Yes' said Alice.
'Then you must say what you mean,' the March Hare said.
'I do,' Alice said quickly. 'Well, I mean what I say. And that's the same thing, you know.'
'No, it isn't!' said the Hatter. 'Listen to this. I see what I eat means one thing, but I eat what I see means something very different.')
What do these conversation between Alice and the others mean?
what does the wordgame that they did mean?

@Wannabenative Alice in Wonderland is full of figurative language, nonsensical conversations and word play or word games. The characters take ordinary words and change or play with their meaning by how they use them and in what order, etc The first question the mad hatter asks Alice is a riddle - a kind of word game. The rest of their conversation continues with play on words. When the mad hatter talks about eating, he switches around the order of words to make the meaning completely different. Although the whole conversation is non sensical, it challenges the reader to think about how words and language are used to convey meaning. Does this help at all?
