CHAPTER TWO：The Shadow

The children are sleeping and dreaming.

Suddenly the window opens.

A small ball of light enters the nursery and flies around.

It is a lovely fairy called Tinker Bell.

She is looking for something.

After a moment, a young boy enters the nursery and says, 'Tink, where are you? Please find my shadow.'

Tinker Bell finds his shadow in the drawer and gives it to him.

'Now I can stick the shadow to my feet with some soap,' he thinks.

He tries and tries again, but he can't.

He is very confused and starts crying.

Wendy wakes up and sees the boy but she is not afraid.

Peter looks at the floor and sees his shadow.

He is very happy and dances around the room.

'Do you really think so?' asks Wendy.

Wendy smiles and gives Peter a kiss on the cheek.

'Oh!'says Peter. 'How nice!'

'How old are you, Peter?' asks Wendy.

'I don't know, but I am young. I don't want to grow up. I always want to be a boy and have fun.'

Peter looks around the room for his fairy.

He hears a noise and looks in a drawer.

Tinker Bell flies out.

Wendy is delighted to see a fairy, but Tinker Bell is afraid.

She hides behind the big clock.

'Where do you live, Peter?' asks Wendy.

'I live in Neverland with the Lost Boys,...
