The Wishing chair (6)

The Wishing chair (6)

" The first real adventure we've ever had in our lives ! " said Mollie,in delight.
" Oh Peter, to think we've got a magic chairー a wishing chair ! "

" Weli, it isn't really ours, " said Peter, putting the swan vase carefully down on the table.
" Perharps we had better sent it bck to that shop. "

" I suppose we had, " said Mollie sadly.
"It woud be so lovely if we could keep it ! "

" Go back to your shop, chair, " commanded Peter.

The chair didn't move an inch !

Peter spoke to it again; still the chair wouldn't move !

There it was and there it stayed.

And suddenly the children noticed that its little red wings had gone from the legs.
It looked just an ordinary chair now !

" See, Mollie ! THe chair hasn't any wings ! " cried Peter.
"It can't fly. I expect it is only when it grows wings that it can fly. It must just have grown them when we were sitting in it in the shop. What luck for us ! "

" Peter ! Let's what till the chair has grown wings again, and then get in and see where it goes ! " said Mollie, her face red with excitement.
" Oh, do let's ! "

" Well, it might take us anywhere ! " said Peter doubtfully.
" Still, we've always wanted adventures, mollie, haven't we ?  So we'll try ! The very next time our wishing-chair grows wings, we'll sit in it and fly off again ! "

" Harrah ! " said Mollie.
" I hope it will be tomorrow ! "

足立sunnyさん、こんにちは＾＾
いつも楽しく読ませて頂いて感謝してます。
なんだか楽しくなって来ましたね♪
ちゃんと羽が再び生えて飛ぶのでしょうか？
次が楽しみです＾＾

すみません。
タイプミスを見つけてしまったので、ご報告させて下さい。

６回目の７行目
"we have better sent it back to~"　でしょうか？
今は" sent it bck to~"　となっております。

それから、一つ前の5回目にも一か所ありました。
前回コメントに残すのをすっかり忘れていましてすみません。

丁度oxfordの辞書の横あたりなのですが・・・
How amazed~で始まる文章の次です。
" And how tightly they clung to the arms! " が
" clungto the arms! " になっています。

もしわたしの方が間違えていましたらすみません。
