Read the excerpt from "You are Old, Father William," by Lewis Carroll. Identify the pair of lines that expresses a humorous tone. "You are old, Father William," the young man said,

"And your hair has become very white;

And yet you incessantly stand on your head—

Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

"I feared it might injure the brain;

But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,

Why I do it again and again."
