D
After Mr and Mrs Darling go out of the house, there’s a small but very bright light in the
room. It’s flying around quickly. That’s Tinker Bell. She is looking for Peter’s shadow(影子). She
goes into all the drawers(抽屉) in the bedroom. She goes into the wardrobe and into pockets.
Suddenly, the window blows open and Peter Pan jumps into the room.
“Tinker,” he calls softly. He doesn’t want to wake the children up.
“Where’s my shadow?”
“It’s in the chest of drawers,” Tinker says and she flies into the drawer. Her voice is like
the tinkle of little golden bells.
Peter is very happy. He tries to stick(粘贴) his shadow to his body again. But he can’t.
He tries soap from the bathroom, but it doesn’t work. He doesn’t know what to do. He sits
on the floor and begins to cry. Peter’s sobs(啜泣声) wake Wendy up. She isn’t afraid when
she sees Peter, just interested.
“Boy,” she says politely, “why are you crying?”
“What’s your name?” he asks.
“Wendy,” she replies. “What’s your name?”
“Peter Pan.”
“Where do you live?”
“Second to the right, and straight on until morning.”
“What a funny address! Do people write it on the letters to you?”
“I don’t get letters,” he says.
“Does your mother get letters?” Wendy asks.
“I don’t have a mother,” he says. He does not have a mother and he doesn’t want one.
But Wendy thinks this is very sad.
“Oh, Peter, now I understand why you are crying.”
