Peter Pan (3)

In the daytime, the Neverland  was a safe place to play in, under the table, among the chair legs.

But at night, in the nursery, just before the children dropped off to sleep, it became almost too real. 

That was when they were glad they had night lights.

Mrs Darling was puzzled because they talked so much about a boy called Peter pan.

They said " he lived with fairies. "

Mr Darling thought it must be some silly tale Nana had told them.
" It all comes from having a dog as a nurse ! " he said crossly.



One day, Mrs Darling found some funny looking leaves just under the nursery window.

" Peter must have dropped them, when he came to see me. He's so untidy ! " said Wendy, who was the eldest, and a very tidy little girl herself.

"But how could he get up here ? It's three floors up ! " wondered Mrs Darling.
" You must have been dreaming ! "
