Peter Pan (17) [Peter Pan]
One afternoon, when Wendy and the boys were having a nap on the Rock, dark shadows began to gather.
The sun wen in, and the lagoon became cold and unfriendy.
Wendy ried not to be afraid, even when she heard the sound of a boat approaching.
Peter, always on the alert, smelled danger.
" Pirates ! " he cried.
" Everybody dive ! "
The next moment the Rock was empty.
The pirate dinghy, rowed by Smee and Starkey, drew near.
They had captured Tiger Lily just as she was boarding the pirate ship with a knife between her teeth.
They had tied her hands and feet and were going to leave her on the Rock to drown.
She showed no fear, for she was a chief's daughter.
Peter wanted to save Tiger Lily and have some fun as well.
He could imitate Captain Hook's voice.
" Ahoy, you lubbers ! " he called.
" Ste the redskin free ! "
" But Captain, you told us..." began Smee.
" At once, d'you hear ? " cried Peter, " or I'll plunge my hook in you ! "
" Better do what the Captain orders ! " muttered Stankey nervously.
So they cut Tiger Lily's cords and she slipped like an eel into the sea.
