Peter Pan (14)

Do you think Tinker Bell was grateful ?

No !
She wanted to pinch Wendy more than ever.

Fairies are funny creatures.

What could they do for Wendy ?
They could not carry her down into the cave.

" I know ! " said Peter.
" We'll build a little house for her ! "

The boys rushed off to fetch branches, bedding and firewood.
Michael and John joined in.

Bit by bi the house was built, with a green moss carpet and red walls, a door and windows.
They planted roses round it.

Then Peter said, " Where' the chimney ? " 

He knocked the top out of John's Sunday hat and fited it on the roof.
At once it began to smoke.
Peter knocked on the door and Wendy came out.

" This is your own little house ! " Peter said.
" And we are all your children ! " said the Lost Boys.

Wendy smiled.
" Come inside, " she said, " and I'll tell you the story of Chinderella. "
