Lovely,lovely mud!”chucked the Lost Boys,as they played on a bank beside a shallow stream. They were making mud pies.
Meanwhile, Wendy, John, Micheal and Peter pan had beer. Searching Never-Never Land for the Lost Boys.
“Now I know why ther’re called Lost boys,” laughed Micheal. “It’s because they’re always getting lost!
Wendy didn’t laugh,however.when.at last she found the Lost Boys-in the mud!
“They’ll have to be washed,and so will their suits!”sighed Wendy. “You are naughty boys.”
Now, all ths time,SOMEONE was creeping along the stream below-very slowly,so as not make a splashing sound. It was wicked Captain Hook, who is always trying to captre Peter Pan and his friend. Behind Captain Hook came Mr.Smee,one of his pirate crew.
‘’Stop, Smee!” whispered Captain Hook.
The Captain pointed to the bank above, where they could hear Wendy complaining.
“We’ll creep up the bank and captured them!”chuckled Hook.
He stepped out the stream, and started climbing up he bank on all fours. Halfway up, Smee, who was following him,gasped: “Just look at your clothes,Captain!”
The feather on Hook’s hat had once been a soft pink now it was muddy brown, and plastered down over one side of Hook’s face. His face too, was muddy,and mud was dripping from his moustache. His trousers his red jacket and frilly shirt were covered with mud,as well as his stockings and shoes. Hook has always been very proud of the way he dresses. Hook has always been very proud of the way dresses. Now he bent over he stream and looked at his reflection in the water. What a horrid surprise he had!.
“Oh my!”he gasped. “ I must return o the ship at once, and clean myself up, before my clothes are ruined. Smee, come and help me on the double now!”
With a huge splash, Hook and Smee jumped back into the stream , and hurried away.
Peter,Wendy,John, Michea and the Lost Boys heard Smee gasp, and they peeped over the edge of the bank, to see the disappearing pirates.
“If it hadn’t been for the mud,” said Peter, “Hook wouldhave climbed right up the bank and captured us!”
“As the mud has been helpful can we go on playing with it?” asked the Lost Boys.
Wendy agreed.
“After all, they’re having such fun.” She said,”and I”ll have to wash their suits now,anyway”
As Wendy walked away with Peter,John and Micheal,they could hear the Lost Boys singing:
“Lovely.lovely mud!”
