Peter Pan (26) [Peter Pan]

(12) Do you believe In Fairies

Peter slept till ten o'clock that night.
He was wakened by a tiny knock onthe door.

It was Tinker Bell, her dress all muddy and her face flushed.

She told him that Wendy and the boys had been captured and taken to the pirate ship.

" I'll rescue them ! " cried Peter, grasping his sword.
" But first I must take my medicine ! "

" No, No ! " said Tinker Bell shrilly.
" It's poisoned ! "
She had heard Hook talking to himself, as he slunk through the wood.

" How coud it be ? " said Peter.
" Nobody has been down here. "

He put the glass to his lips.
Brave Tinker Bell flew between his mouth and the glass and drank the poison herself, in one gulp.

" It was poisoned ! " she cried.
" I'm going to be dead ! "

" Oh, Tink ! "  gasped Peter.
" Did you drink it to save me ? "

" Yes. "

"But why ? "

" You silly ass, " said Tink lovingly, and fluttered feeby to her tiny couch, in her little room.

She lay there gasping, her light getting weaker everymoment.

Soon it would go out.

She was whispering something.

Peter bent down to listen.

" If enough children believe in fairies, I might get better again. "
