Peter Pan

Little Wendy Darling lived in a cozy house with her mother, her father, and her two younger brothers, John and Michael. Their father worked very hard and loved his children so much. Their mother had the sweetest smile with a hidden kiss in the corner that no one could quite catch. The family did not have a lot of money, but they were happy together.

The most wonderful thing about their house was their nurse. She was a big, fluffy dog named Nana! Nana took care of the children at bath time and bedtime. She was gentle and kind and very good at her job.

One day, their mother heard the children talking about someone named Peter Pan. Wendy said he was a magical boy who lived with fairies and never grew up. Their mother wondered if he was real. Then one night, while everyone was sleeping, the nursery window blew open. A boy flew in with a tiny, glowing light beside him. He was Peter Pan, and something amazing was about to happen.

Mary Darling saw a strange boy in the nursery one night. He flew out the window before she could catch him! She worried he might fall, but when she looked outside, he was gone. All she saw was something like a shooting star in the sky.

Nana the dog had caught something special in her mouth. It was the boy's shadow! The window had closed so fast that his shadow got left behind. Mary rolled it up carefully and put it in a drawer to keep it safe.

A week later, something important happened. The family was getting ready to go out for dinner. Father got upset when dog hair got on his nice pants. He decided Nana should stay outside in the yard. Mother felt worried about this, but Father wanted things his way. The children went to bed, and Mother kissed them goodnight. Michael said something very sweet to her. Then the parents walked out into the starry night, not knowing that an adventure was about to begin.
