Peter Pan (Chapter IV)
One summer evening Peter, Wendy, John, Michael and the Lost Boys go to the Mermaid's Lagoon.
Beautiful mermaids live here and they are Peter's friends. They swim and play in the blue lagoon. Then they
sit on Marooner's Rock to comb their long hair. They sit in the sun and laugh. The children like the
mermaids and John says, 'I want to catch one!' He tries, but the mermaid jumps into the water.
A small boat with two pirates is coming to the lagoon. John, Michael and the Lost Boys jump off the
rock and swim away. But Wendy stays with Peter. They hide behind the rock. Peter sees Tiger Lily. She is
sitting in the small boat. Poor Tiger Lily is a prisoner of the pirates.
'Let's leave her on this rock. When the sea rises, she will die!' says Smee. The two pirates laugh. It is
already night and it is very dark.
Peter wants to save Tiger Lily and thinks of something intelligent. He imitates Captain Hook's voice
and says, 'Cut the ropes and let her go! Do as I say, you idiots! Let her go!' The two pirates are amazed.
'We must obey him and cut the ropes,' says Smee.
They cut the ropes and Tiger Lily is free. She quickly jumps into the water and swims away.
'That horrid Peter Pan! This time I must attack him,' he says.
The Captain hurts Peter with his hook, but Peter fights courageously. At last, Peter wins the fight
and Hook swims back to the Jolly Roger. Peter is now alone on the rock with Wendy.
'The sea is rising and we are in great danger here. We must leave this rock,' says Peter.
He sees a big kite with a long tail. It is flying slowly over the lagoon. He takes the tail of the kite and
says, 'Wendy, hold on to this tail and fly away with the kite.' Wendy flies away.
'The sea is rising. I must fly away,' Peter thinks. When he gets home everyone is happy to see him
especially Wendy.
