In the book, Alice navigates the strange and unexpected Wonderland and is helped on her way by several characters like the Cheshire Cat, who gives her this piece of advice when she comes to a fork in the road.
Alice:Which road do I take?' Chesire Cat:Where do u want to go? 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter."
