The Walrus and the Carpenter is set on a sandy beach.
The sea was wet as wet could be,
The sands were dry as dry.
You could not see a cloud, because
No cloud was in the sky:
No birds were flying overhead--
There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand;
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus did beseech.
"A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk,
Along the briny beach:
We cannot do with more than four,
To give a hand to each."
The Walrus And The Carpenter was published in December 1871. It appeared in the book "Through the Looking-Glass"

The Walrus and the Carpenter from Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, ate oysters on the beach that had been tricked by the Walrus to come out of the sea.
The Walrus and the Carpenter ate bread and oysters:"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,"Is what we chiefly need:Pepper and vinegar besidesAre very good indeed --Now if you're ready Oysters dear,We can begin to feed."

The Walrus and the Carpenter ate the oysters in Lewis Carroll's poem, but in the 1951 Disney movie, only the Walrus had any.
The poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" appears in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There." It describes a walrus and a carpenter who lure young oysters to their dinner with promises of a pleasant walk.
The Carpenter
In the original poem the Walrus and the Carpenter trick and eat a lot of hapless oysters. In Disney's 1951 animation the Walrus eats ALL of them while the Carpenter isn't looking. However, while his actions are morally questionable, there is no suggestion that the Walrus has actually committed a crime.
