And I hope everyone's doing well. We're going to listen to a reading of Peter Pan by J.M. Berry.

So let's go ahead and get started and dive off to Neverland.

Chapter 1, Peter breaks through.

All children except one grow up.

They soon know that they will grow up.

And the way Wind Wendy knew was this.

One day when she was two years old she was playing in a garden and she plucked another flower

and ran with it to her mother.

I suppose she must have looked rather delightful for Mrs Darling put her hand to her heart and cried oh why can't you remain like this forever this was all that passed between them on the subject

but henceforth Wendy knew that she must grow up. You always

know after your two. Two is the beginning of the end. Of course they lived at 14, their house number on the street, and until Wendy came her mother was the chief one.

She was a lovely lady, with a romantic mind and such a sweet mocking mouth.

Her romantic mind was like the tiny boxes, one within the other, that come from the puzzling East.

However, many you discover there is always one more,

and her sweet mocking mouth had one kiss on it that Wendy can never get

though there it was perfectly conspicuous in the right-hand corner. The way

Mr Darling won her was this. The many gentlemen who had been boys when she was a girl discovered simultaneously that they loved her and they all ran to her house to propose to her, except Mr. Darling, who took a cab and nipped in first, and so he got her.

He got all of her, except the innermost box and the kiss.

He never knew about the box and in time he gave up trying

for the kiss. Wendy thought Napoleon could have got it but I can picture him

trying and then going off in a passion slamming the door.

Mr. Darling used to boast to Wendy that her mother not only loved him but respected him.
