Task 5. Read the text and do the task following the text.

Peter Pan

 If you ask your mother if she knew about Peter Pan when she was a little girl, she will say, “Why, of course, I did.” And if you ask her if he rode on a goat in those days, she will say, “What a foolish question to ask. Certainly, he did.”

 Then if you ask your grandmother if she knew about Peter Pan when she was a little girl, she will also say, “Why, of course I did, child.” But if you ask her if he rode on a goat in those days, she will say that she never heard that he had a goat. Perhaps she has just forgotten.

Goat or no goat it shows that Peter is very old but really he is always the same age. His age is one week. When he was seven days old, he went out of the window and flew to Kensington Gardens. If you think that he was the only young child who wanted to do this it shows how you have forgotten your own young days. Think very hard and you will remember that you wanted to go back to the trees just as the birds.

 When Peter Pan stood on the windowsill he could see the trees in Kensington Gardens. When he saw them he forgot that he was a little boy in pyjamas and he started to fly. He flew over the houses to the gardens. He came down on the grass and started to play. He already didn’t know that he was a little boy. He thought that he was a bird. When he tried to catch a fly he couldn’t because he tried with his hand which a bird never does. He saw a lot of fairies. They were all very busy and didn’t see him. He was thirsty now, so he flew to the pond to have a drink. He tried to drink like a bird but forgot that he didn’t have a beak but a nose.

 Then he wanted to sleep. At first it was hard to be comfortable on the branches of the trees but soon he fell asleep. He woke up in the night. Peter wanted to talk to the fairies but they all ran away and hid when he came near. They shouted, “There’s a boy in the park.” Peter never thought for a moment that he was a boy because he was a bird. He wanted to talk to the birds but he couldn’t find any. They all flew away. Every living thing ran away or flew away from him. He sat down and cried. But even if he thought he was a bird he didn’t sit as a bird does. Happily he didn’t know this and so he didn’t lose his faith in the fact that he could fly. Why can birds fly and we can’t? It is only because they have faith, because to have faith is to have wings.
