Peter Pan (13)

(7) The Little house

When the boys crowded to see the bird they had shot, they soon realised it was a lady.



" A mother to take care of us at last, " said the Twins, " and Tootles has shot her ! "

It was all part of Tootles' bad luck.
He wanted to run away, but just then Peter arrived.

" I've brought you a mother ! " he said to proudly.

" Haven't you seen her ? She flew this way. "

The lost boys stood aside and shouwed him Wendy.

" She is dead ! " said Peter sternly.
" Who shot her ? "

" I did ! " said Tootles bravely.
"Now kill me ! "

Peter raised the arrow to strike, when Wendy lifted up her arm.
" Poor Tootles ! " she moaned.

" She's alive ! " Peter cried.
The arrow had struck the acorn button on her chain and saved wendy's life !

" Listen to Tink ! " said Curly.
" She's crying because Wendy's not dead. "

They told Peter what Tinker Bell had done.

" Go away, Tinker Bell, for ever ! " Peter cried.
" I am no longer your friend ! "

But Wendy raised her arm again.
" Well, not for everーonly for a week ! Peter relented.
