Pinocchio


Once upon a time, therev was a piece of wood which was found by Gepetto, a carpenter. Gepetto thought that it was not an ordinary piece of wood, so he decided to make a beautiful puppet that ould walk, talk, dance, and leap like an acrobat. He rushed home and begun to carve it. As he carved it, the wood seemed to change by itself and in no time there was a puppet-looking wooden boy that could move, talk and even run away like a naughty boy. Gepetto named it pinocchio.

Pinocchio was very michievous. He teased Gepetto by hiding his tools, spilling his glue, mixing paints with his porridge. One day a large cricket appeared who lived on the walland introduced himself as the Talking Cricket. He asked Pinocchio to be good and behave himself or he would be in great trouble. Pinocchio did not want to listen to his advise and threw a hammer at him. When the cricket had left, Pinocchio thought about the advise he had given.
Pinocchio decided to be like a real boyand he told Gepetto that he wanted to go to school. Gepetto was
very poor. He sold his only coat to buy a book for Pinocchio. Pinocchio
set off for the school. He had only gone a short distance when he saw a puppet theatre. He sold his books to buy a ticket for the show. Inside the theatre he was surprised to see that the actors, like him, were made of wood, although they were moved by strings.

Pinocchio was very excited and climbed onto the stage. The audience shouted for him to join the show. The owner of the theatre was amazed at the way Pinocchio was able to amuse the audience. He threatened to chop Pinocchio up for firewood, for causing a disturbance, but Pinocchio begged for mercy and told how he had come to buy back the book. Pinocchio thanked the owner  and set off for his home.


On the way, he met an injured Fox and a blind Cat. Knowing that Pinocchio had Gold coins, they pretended to be his friends. They had dinner with Pinocchio and went to bed. While Pinocchio slept, the Fox and the Cat, who are not really blind or injured, worked out a plan to rob his coins. But he held the coins in his mouth between his tightly clenched teeth. They tried again and again to take out the coins from his mouth, but in vain. So, they hung Pinoocchio from a high branch and left him there to die.

The tree was an old one and soon the branch broke under Pinocchio's struggle and he fell to the ground with a bump. When he awoke, Pinocchio found himself in a soft bed, at the end of which was sitting a lovely fairy. The fairy said "Pinocchio, take the gold coins to your father."
"I lost them," lied Pinocchio and his nose grew longer. The Fairy begun to laugh. "Why are you laughing?" asked Pinocchio.
"I am laughing at the lie that you dare to tell me." He was ashamed and he told the truth, his nose went back to its normal size. Pinocchio promised not to tell a lie and started for home to find Gepetto.

Pinocchio had only walked a short way when once again he met the Fox and Cat. Since there previous plan had failed, they urged him to plant his gold coins in a field.
"Pinocchio, would you like to make a thousand coins from your gold coins? There is a magic field, at the end of  the Ninnies. If you plant your coins there, you will find a tree laden with thousands of coins," explained the Fox. "Let's go there immediately!" exclaimed the greedy Pinocchio. While he slept, they dug up the gold coins and disappeared.

Penniless and alone, Pinocchio started for home again, but he could not find Gepetto. He thought of returning to the Fairy's house. He came to grave and on the headstone he read that it was the Fairy who was buried there. "Why do the good and kind have to die, while I, who is so wicked do not?" When the Fairy heard his cries, she came out from her hiding place and called him. The Fairy was not really dead, but was only listening to Pinocchio to see if he had changed his ways.

"Pinocchio, do you know how your naughtiness hurt the people who love you?" "Oh, I do," Pinocchio surprised asked. "I promise you that I shall never again be so wicked. One day I may be a real boy." He had made up his mind to change his ways. So he started to go to school and for a while he worked hard and well. He stayed at his desk while other boys went to play outside. He always thought of the most exiting things to do.

One day, Pinocchio met someone naughty boys who persuaded him to go to the land of play where they could enjoy themselves as much as they wanted. What neither he nor the boys realized was that without rules or work without discipline or helping others, we all become stupid and selfish - and this is what happened to Pinocchio and the boys. Pinocchio had become a donkey and was sold to a circus. He was thrown into the sea because he could not jump through a hoop. As he hit the cold water, he felt himself turning back from a donkey into a wooden puppet.

Pinocchio ran away from there and frantically began to swim towards a rock. "Sweet Fairy, save me again!" he whispered. Suddenly the fairy appeared and said, "Pinocchio, I have just seen Gepetto. He is building a boat to travel across the sea, in reach of you." The Fairy changed herself into a bird. Pinocchio sat on the back of the bird and they flew towards the boat. Gepetto had already reached the open sea, and Pinocchio watched in horror as a wave larger than any of the others, tipped the frail little boat on its side. The boat sank and Gepetto did not reappear.


"I fear that your father has been swallowed by a whale," said that bird. Frightened by these words, Pinocchio lost his balance and fell into the sea. The terrible whale headed straight for Pinocchio and swallowed him. At the end of a tunnel, he found his father sitting there exhausted. Hugging Pinocchio and laughing through his tears Gepetto told how he had built the boat in order to search for him. 
Now we must try to escape. Let us wait until the whale dozes on the surface in the afternoon sun - for he is old and snores with his mouth open," said Gepetto.

Pinocchio caught Gepetto's arm and while the whale slept and snored near the shore with his mouth open, Pinocchio led Gepetto's up the whale's throat, climbed through his terrible teeth and jumped into the sea. Pinocchio took Gepetto on his back and swan strongly to the land, to their freedom. They began the long journey for home. Once again, on the way, the Cat and Fox met again, but Pinocchio and Gepetto passed by without paying attention to them. Now, they were truly blind and injured.

Now, Pinocchio had become more considerate he spent his days studying, cooking meals and cleaning the house. He looked after Gepetto tenderly as good son should. He was  never rude or thoughtless. One night, Pinocchio dreamt that the lovely fairy with the blue hair was nearby and the cricket came to visit him. The fairy spoke to him, "Well done, Pinocchio. You are now ready for your reward, "the cricket reminded him that boys who behave himself and tell the truth and their parents become wise. He was no longer a puppet, but a real boy.

Goldilicious


I was putting flowers on the mane of my pet unicorn.
   "Pinkalicious, why are you dropping flowers on the rug?"
   "I'm not dropping flowers. I am getting Goldie ready for the Unicorn Ball," I said, prancing around the room.
   "What unicorn? I don't see any unicorn," said Peter.
   "She's right here and she's not ANY unicorn, she is my unicorn. Her name is Goldilicious, Goldie for short. Oh, Goldie-- you shouldn't have done that on the floor! You know better, just neigh when you need to go to the potty. I'm sorry, Peter, but you are stepping right in it," I said.
   "Mommy! What is Pinkalicious talking about?" whined Peter.
   "Pinkalicious, i's okay to have an imaginary friend, but maybe it's time to put Goldie back in her stall or take her outside the house, where she can run free."
   "Okay, Mommy. Come on, Goldie we know where we aren't wanted," I said, galloping out the door.

Itook Goldie out to perfect her pinkerrific pirouette. Goldie is very graceful and has a wonderful sense of balance. We were thinking of of joining the Majestic Magenta Ballet, but there are only a few extremely special and unique people who can see Goldie, namely, ME!

Goldie is also a pinkatastic roller skater, kite flyer and high jumper. She is very fast. I can never keep up with her. "Goldieeeeeeeeee, wait for me!"

   "Goldie where are you?"
She loves to play hide- and- sick, but she is too quick for me.
As soon as I spot her, she is gone.

   "Oh, you turned into a fairy princess and you are having a tea party. Goldilicious, this is the most delicious cake I have ever had! And where did you ever find this sweet flower nectar?" I asked.
   "Pinkalicious, may I join your tea party?" Peter asked.
   "Pleass, Peter, you are about to sit on Goldie! Be careful," I scolded.
   "Here is a little cinnamon stick for your tea," said Peter.
   "That is a WORM! now you have insulted our host. You better watch out because Goldie will always protect me!" I shouted.

   "Not if I kidnap her and hold her prisoner in the castle tower!"

   "Beware, fare sister, or your golden pet will become broth for my magical cauldron," Peter yelled from the tree house.
   "Don't worry, Goldie, I will rescue you from the Wandering Wizard," I said.
   "Pinkalicious, you must gaze into this crystal ball as I cast a spell," Peter chanted as he threw a ball over the side of the tree house.
   "Abracadabra, abracadin, wizard OUT, pirate IN!"
   "Ahoy, matey, Goldilicoius will never become your treasure! I will make you walk the plank!"
I suddenly realized that Goldilicious was nowhere to be seen.
   "Hey, Peter,where did she go? "
   "Look, she turned into a mermaid!" Peter pointed to Goldilicious.
   "Oh, that is just her dress up outfit. She's not a real mermaid. She is just pretending,"
I told Peter.
  
   "Wow, not only can she float on water, she can float in the air. Goldilicious is flying!" said Peter.
   "Comeback! " I screamed.
   "Will she comeback tomorrow? I'm going to find my lasso. So I can catch her in the morning when I wake up," said Peter.
   "That's if you can find her," I yelled as Peter ran off.
   "Goldie, where did you go? Have you become one with the universe?" 

   "Pinkalicious, it's time to go to bed. Come in now," bellowed voices from the door.
   "Perhaps Goldie is hiding from the mean sorcerers who have come to take me to the dungeon," I said loudly.
   " Pinkalicious, we heard that."
   "Oh, pardon me, I meant Sir Daddy and Lady Mommy, rulers supreme and gracious guardian of the Princess of Pink."
   "NOW!"
   "Okay, okay, okay, I'm going to bed, but I don't know where Goldie is, and she will miss me if I don't pet her good night."
   "Oh, she was here waitng for me all alone!" I said, climbing into bed and closing my eyes.
   "Sweet dreams. See you tomorrow," Mommy and Daddy said, kissing us both good night.

Three Little Pigs

      Once upon a time, there were tree little pigs who went out into the world to build their homes and seek fortunes. 

      The first little pig did not like to work at all. He quickly built his house of straw because that was the easiest way. Then he danced off down the road to see how his brothers were getting along. 
      The second little pig was building himself a house, too. He did not like to work either, so he decided to build his house out of sticks. That would be quick and easy. Soon he was finished. The house made of sticks was not very strong, but at least his work was done. Now he was free to play.
      What the second little pig liked to do best was play his fiddle. The first little pig  played his flute while his brother played the fiddle and danced. Then the two went off the down the road to see about their brother.


      The third little pig was the serious one. He was building his house out of bricks. He did not mind working hard, and he wanted his house to be strong. For he knew that in the woods nearby lived a big, bad wolf who liked nothing better that to catch little pigs and eat them! So he worked and worked, putting each and every brick carefully in place.




      The first two little pigs laughed when they saw their brother hard at work. But the third little pig just ignored them and went about building his house. "You can laugh and dance and sing," he called after his brothers. "But I'll be safe and you'll be sorry when the wolf comes to the door!"


      The first pig had just reached his house of straw when the wolf came knocking at his door.
"Little pig, little pig, let me come in!" cried the wolf.
"Not by the hair of my chinny- chin- chin!" said the little pig.
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in!" roared the wolf.


    And he did. Why, he blew the little straw house all to pieces. 
      The poor little pig ran off to his brother's house made of sticks. But there was the wolf waiting for him. He knew that the pigs would not let him inside, so he disguised himself as a sheep. Luckily the pigs could see through the wolf's disguise. 
"You can't fool us with that sheepskin!" cried the pigs.
"Then I'll huff and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house in!" yelled the wolf. 
      And he blew the little house of twigs all to pieces!
      The two pigs raced off to their brother's brick house.


      "Don't worry," said the third little pig. "You are safe here."
      Soon they were laughing and singing again. 


      This made the wolf very angry. He huffed and he puffed and he puffed and he huffed. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not blow down that little house of bricks.


      The wolf thought and thought about how he get inside. Ah- ha! He could climb down the chimney. And so he did, right into a bubbling kettle of water that the pigs had hung in the fireplace. 
      With a yelp and a scream, the big, bad wolf flew straight up the chimney and ran off into the woods. The three little pigs never saw him again. They were most content to sing and laugh and dance inside their brother's strong brick house. 












The End

Little Red Riding Hood


One lovely spring day, Little Red Riding Hood set out to visit her grandmother who lived in the woods.
"Good morning, Robin Red Breast!" she said to the little bird. "I'm going to visit my sick Grandma. I have freshly baked cookies and medicine for her in my basket. Oh! Mother told me to go straight to Grandma's house and not to talk to any strangers. I'm not supposed to stop along the way or stray from the path," she said. And she hurried through the woods. Seeing the beautiful wild flowers growing along the mossy path, Little Red Riding Hood thought, "These beautiful flowers will surely make Grandma feel better."

So she left the path to pick a bouquet.

Suddenly, Little Red Riding Hood heard a twig snap! She turned quickly and came face with a Wolf. With a snarl, the Wolf asked, "Is there something in your basket for me, little girl?"
Startled, Little Red Riding Hood replied, "I'm sorry, Wolf. This basket has only cookies and medicine for my sick Grandma. I should not be talking to you. I must reach my Grandma's home as soon as possible."

She gathered her things and hurried down the path. She didn't even turn back to look at the scary Wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood did not know that the cunning Wolf knew a shortcut to her Grandma's house. The Wolf quickly ran through the woods and reach there much before the Little Red Riding Hood. He chased the Grandma into the closet and locked the door.
"That sick old woman is nothing but bones, and I'm very hungry," the Wolf said to himself.
"I'll dress up like Grandma and wait for Little Red Riding Hood to arrive," he thought. "If I pull this quilt right up beneath my chin, I'm sure she'll believe that I'm her sick Grandmother. When she comes to the bedside to give her poor Grandma a kiss, I'll gobble her up with one ferocious bite."



When Little Red Riding Hood knocked at the cottage door, the Wolf croaked, "Come in, Darling!"
Little Red Riding Hood entered the cottage, but she stopped abruptly when she saw her Grandmother.
"Grandma," she said softly, "you look much sicker than I expected. Maybe these freshly baked cookies and a dose of medicine will help."
The sly Wolf licked his lips. "Thank you dear," he said in a rough voice.
"With that hoarse voice, you must have a sore throat," said Little Red Riding Hood, "and with all these blankets, you must be feeling hot!"

She stepped closer and gasped, "Why, Grandma! What big eyes you have!"
"All the better to see you with, my dear," hissed the Wolf.
"What a big nose you have! And what large , sharp teeth!"
"All the better to eat you with, my dear!" growled the wicked Wolf, and he sprang out of bed, chasing Little Red Riding Hood around the room.


A woodcutter who had chopping wood nearby, heard Little Red Riding Hood's screams. He ran to the cottage and pushed open the door. "Don't you dare touch that child!" the woodcutter shouted, widely waving his axe as he chased the Wolf.
The Wolf was frightened. He fled deep into the forest never to be seen again. 
Little Red Riding Hood happily cried, "Thank you for saving me! But I'm afraid that the Wolf has harmed my Grandma."

Just then, they heard a pounding from inside the closet.
The woodcutter broke the lock and opened the door. Standing there, looking rather confused and tired, was Little Red Riding Hood's Grandmother. The woodcutter helped her out of the closet.
"You're safe!" Little Red Riding Hood squealed. "We're grateful for your help," Grandma said to the woodcutter, as she hugged Little Red Riding Hood. 

Little Red Riding Hood spent the afternoon with her Grandma. They sipped tea and ate cookies. Grandma felt much better.
"My dear child, a visit from you is the best medicine for me," said Grandma. 
As the Sun set, Little Red Riding Hood kissed her Grandmother goodbye, and ran home as fast as she could.

At home, Little Red Riding Hood cuddled up in her mother's arms. She told her mother about the adventures with the Wolf and the brave woodcutter.

"I feel so safe in your arms, Mother," said the sleepy child. "I promise II'll never stray from the path again. And never will I speak to strangers.



The End 

Cinderella I


     Once upon a time there lived a beautiful girl named Cinderella. Her mother died when she was still young. Her father, on the other hand, married another woman who already had two daughters about as old as Cinderella.

     A few years later, Cinderella's father died. Thus, Cinderella was left to live with her stepmother ant two stepsisters.


    Her stepmother and her stepsisters were cruel. Her stepsisters were also very lazy, vain and selfish. They did nothing but buy nice clothes and pretty themselves up. But despite of the beautiful clothes they wore, they were still ugly.

     One day the King's royal messenger called on all the ladies of the kingdom to attend a ball in honor of the prince, the king's only son. 
    
The news made all the ladies in the kingdom, especially Cinderella's stepsisters, very excited. They heard that the prince was looking for a bride, and it was the dream of every girl to marry the handsome prince.

     Cinderella was also excited, but she had to stay home and clean the house while her stepmother and stepsisters attend the ball.

     The night of the ball, her stepmother and stepsisters set off in their fine carriage. Cinderella was left home alone. She sat by herself and cried.

     Suddenly, a beautiful fairy appeared. She was Cinderella's fairy godmother.
"What is the problem, my dear? Why are you crying?" asked the fairy godmother.
"I want to attend the ball to meet the prince," Cinderella answered, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Then you shall!" said the fairy godmother. "But first you must follow everything I tell you."
"Yes, Fairy Godmother, I will," promised Cinderella.
"Go to the garden and get me the biggest pumpkin you can find," said the fairy.

     So Cinderella went to the garden and get the biggest pumpkin she could find, and brought it to her fairy godmother.

"Now get me six white mice from the kitchen," the fairy ordered. Cinderella followed promptly.

Again with a wave of her wand, the fairy changed the mice into six beautiful white horses to pull the coach! Cinderella could not believe her eyes.

      Still troubled, Cinderella looked down at herself. "Oh dear!" she sighed. "But how can I go to the ball in this old ragged dress?"

For the third time, the fairy godmother waved her magic wand and changed Cinderella's ragged dress into a very lovely gown! And on her feet she put a dainty pair of glass slippers. "Now go!" said the fairy. "But remember, the magic only lasts until midnight. You must go home before twelve o' clock!"

      Cinderella went to the ball in her beautiful coach and gown. everyone in the palace who saw her was enchanted by her charm, especially the prince.

      The Prince asked her for a dance.
 "May I danced with you?" he asked with his eyes fixed on the lovely face of Cinderella.

      They took to the floor, while all the others girls became very jealous of this beautiful and mysterious lady.

     Cinderella and the Prince danced all evening. She was
very happy that she soon forgot all about the fairy's reminder.

       She only remembered the fairy's warning when the clock began to strike twelve. Cinderella ran out of the palace as fast as she could! She must be home before twelve midnight! In her hurry, she left one of her glass slippers.

      The Prince ran after her but she disappeared quickly. However, he found her glass slipper at the steps of the palace.

      As he forgot to ask her name, he now only has the golden slipper as his clue on how to find her.
      When Cinderella's stepmother and stepsisters arrived home, they talked of nothing but the lovely girl who danced with the Prince all evening.

      They were annoyed because after the beautiful girl had left, the Prince did not dance any more with the girls left behind. Cinderella had captured his heart.

      She on the other hand, relived in her mind the vivid memories of the ball and the Prince.

      Back in the Palace, the Prince was determined to find the mysterious lady with whom he fell in love. But he only has a glass slipper to help him find her!

      Thus he decided that he will marry the girl whose foot shall fit into the slipper.

      The very next day, the Prince started the search for the lady who captured his heart.

     All the girls in the land wanted to try on the slipper. But although many tried, slipper just wouldn't fit them.


      At last, the Prince came to Cinderella's house. The two ugly stepsisters both tried on the slipper, but it just wouldn't fit them. One stepsister's foot was too small, while the other's was too big.

      The Prince was getting desperate. He asked if there was any other girl in the house. The stepmother and stepsister  said there was one but they quickly added that she was very busy in the kitchen and she was not even at the ball.

      The Prince insisted, however, that all the girls must try on the slipper. So he asked Cinderella to come out.

      Cinderella came out, although very ashamed of her dirty appearance. She covered her face while trying on the slipper.

      "A perfect fit!" the prince exclaimed as Cinderella tried it.

      Everybody was amazed when the slipper fit her perfectly. The stepsister told the Prince that Cinderella was not even at the ball, but they were surprised when she brought out the other glass slipper from her pocket.

      It was then the Prince recognized Cinderella, and that same moment asked her to marry him.

      Cinderella was over-joyed!

      All of a sudden, her fairy godmother appeared and changed Cinderella's old clothes to a lovely gown fit for a princess.

      That same day, the Prince took Cinderella to the palace.

     The Prince married Cinderella. Their wedding was the grandest event that ever took place in the history of the entire kingdom.

      From then on Cinderella and her Prince lived happily ever after.

Peter Pan



Wendy, John and Michael Darling lived in London. One night, Wendy woke to find a strange looking boy sitting on the floor, crying bitterly.
"My name is Wendy," she said.
"Who are you? Why are you crying?"
"I'm Peter Pan," the boy replied. "I'm crying because my shadow won't stick to me."
"Don't cry," Wendy said.
"We can fix that." And she sewed Peter's shadow to the tip of his shoes. Peter was delighted.

"Fly back to Neverland with me and my fairy, Tinker Bell," Peter begged. "We could all live together and have fun." "Can you teach me to fly?" Wendy asked. Peter nodded.
"Let's wake John and Michael," Wendy said excitedly."You can teach us all to fly and then we will leave foe Neverland!"

The children will soon flying around the room, and then - Swoosh! Out of the window they flew.
Wendy, John and Michael flew behind Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, following the golden arrows that marked the way to Neverland. Finally, they were flying over the island.
"The lost boy s live with me and Tinker Bell. I'm there Captain," Peter said. "The Indians live over there, and the mermaids live in the lagoon. And there are pirates too, led by the evil Captain Hook."
"Pirates!" exclaimed Wendy, John and Michael, all in the same breath. Wendy was frightened, but Michael and John wanted to see pirates right away.

"Hook's the meanest pirates ever," Peter warned. "But he's afraid of the crocodile. The crocodile bit off Hooks hand and liked the taste so much that it follows him, hoping for more. Luckily for Hook, the crocodile swallowed a clock. it goes 'Tick, Tock,' and warns Hook when the crocodile is nearby."
"Oh, my God!" cried Wendy, not sure if she really wanted to stay in Neverland after knowing all that.


Peter led Wendy, John, and Michael to his house under the woods. They entered through a door hidden in an old tree stump. When the lost boys saw Wendy, they shouted, "Hooray!. Will you be our mother?"
"I'm only a little girl myself," Wendy answered. "I would not know how to take care of you all." But the lost boys looked so sad that she said, "I'll do my best."

That night Wendy tucked the boys into the bed and told them the tale of Cinderella. Life was pleasant in the cosy house under the woods. Wendy took care of the boys, who explored the island during the day. At night, they gathered for meals, played make believed games, and listened to Wendy's interesting stories.

One day, Peter Pan and children went exploring near the mermaids' lagoon. suddenly Peter yelled, "Pirates! Take cover." The boys ran away, and Peter and Wendy Hid.
Peter and Wendy could see that the pirates had tied up Tiger Lily, the Indian princess. The pirates had left her on a rock in the lagoon. Peter was afraid that Tiger Lily would drown when the tide came in. He had to save her! In a voice that sounded just like Captain Hook's, he shouted, "Set her free!"
"But, Captain," the pirates yelled, "you ordered us to bring her here!" They looked around but could not see their captain anywhere.
"Let her go!" Peter roared, still sounding like Hook.
"Aye, aye," the pirates said, and set Tiger Lily free. She quickly swan back to the Indian camp.
When Captain Hook found out what had happened, he knew that Peter had tricked his pirates. Hook was furious, very furious!

That night, Wendy told the boys a story about three children who had left their parents and flown to Neverland. Their mother and father missed them very much. Though the children loved Neverland, they had never really forgotten their home.
"Did they ever go back?" the lost boys asked.
"Oh, yes," Wendy replied. "They flew home to their mummy and daddy, and everyone was happy."
The story made Wendy, John and Michael homesick. They decided to fly home the next morning. "If you come back with us," Wendy told the lost boys, "I'm sure our mother and father will adopt you."
"Hooray!" shouted the boys, jumping with joy. Wendy asked peter if he and Tinker Bell would come home with them too. But Peter didn't want to live where grown-ups would tell him what to do.
Peter was sad that his friends were leaving, but he wanted the children to reach home safety. He asked Tinker Bell to guide them on their trip
back home.

Early morning Tinker Bell and the children left the house under the woods. But Captain Hook's pirates were hiding nearby. They captured all the children, tide them up, and marched them towards their ship.

Clever that she was, Tinker Bell escaped, and hurried back to tell Peter what had happened.
"It's Hook or me this time!" yelled Peter with anger as he and Tinker Bell flew off to save Wendy and the Boys.

On pirates' ship, Captain Hook asked, "who wants to become a pirate?" All the boys shook their heads.
"Then make them walk the plank!" Hook roared. The boys tried to look brave, but deep inside they were afraid. Suddenly, they heard, "Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock." Now it was Captain Hook's turn to be afraid.

But it was only Peter who was imitating the sound of the clock inside the crocodile, "Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock." He flew onto the deck and shouted, "I've got you know, Hook!"
Captain Hook jumped up and swung at Peter with his sword. Peter was quick and stepped away. He slashed at Hook with his own sword until they came close to the edge of the ship.
Peter made a lunge with his sword, and Hook fell into the sea, where the crocodile was waiting for him. He gobbled up Captain Hook in one delicious bite and that was the end of Captain Hook!

When Peter was certain that Hook was gone forever, he and Tinker Bell set off for London with Wendy and the boys.
Wendy's parents were happy to see their children again. Mr and Mrs Darling hugged Wendy, John and Michael, and gladly adopt the lost boys. They asked Peter too to stay with them, but he said, "I'm going to stay in Neverland where I never ever have to grow up."
"Goodbye then, Peter. We'll miss you," everyone called. Peter Pan and Tinker Bell waved them goodbye and flew home to Neverland.
