'What are you quacking about?' Peter answered. 'Why don't you let the nest drift as usual?' WHAT ARE YOU QUACKING ABOUT PETER ANSWERED WHY DON'T YOU LET THE NEST DRIFT AS USUAL
, to give him her nest, though there were eggs in it. I rather wonder at the bird, for though he had been nice to her, he had also sometimes tormented her. I can suppose only that, like Mrs. Darling and the rest of them, she was melted because he had all his first teeth. She called out to him what she had come for, and he called out to her what was she doing there; but of course neither of them understood the other's language. In fanciful stories people can talk to the birds freely, and I wish for the moment I could pretend that this was such a story, and say that Peter replied intelligently to the Never bird; but truth is best, and I want to tell only what really happened. Well, not only could they not understand each other, but they forgot their manners. 'I--want--you--to--get--into--the--nest,' the bird called, speaking as slowly and distinctly as possible, 'and--then--you--can--drift--ashore, but--I--am--too--tired--to--bring--it--any--nearer--so--you--must-- try--to--swim--to--it. IZED HER SHE WAS VERY EXHAUSTED SHE HAD COME TO SAVE HIM TO GIVE HIM HER NEST THOUGH THERE WERE EGGS IN IT I RATHER WONDER AT THE BIRD FOR THOUGH HE HAD BEEN NICE TO HER HE HAD ALSO SOMETIMES TORMENTED HER I CAN SUPPOSE ONLY THAT LIKE MISSUS DARLING AND THE REST OF THEM SHE WAS MELTED BECAUSE HE HAD ALL HIS FIRST TEETH SHE CALLED OUT TO HIM WHAT SHE HAD COME FOR AND HE CALLED OUT TO HER WHAT WAS SHE DOING THERE BUT OF COURSE NEITHER OF THEM UNDERSTOOD THE OTHER'S LANGUAGE IN FANCIFUL STORIES PEOPLE CAN TALK TO THE BIRDS FREELY AND I WISH FOR THE MOMENT I COULD PRETEND THAT THIS WAS SUCH A STORY AND SAY THAT PETER APPLIED INTELLIGENTLY TO THE NEVER BIRD BUT TRUTH IS BEST AND I WANT TO TELL ONLY WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WELL NOT ONLY COULD THEY NOT UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER BUT THEY FORGOT THEIR MANNERS I WANT YOU TO GET INTO THE NEST THE BIRD CALLED SPEAKING AS SLOWLY AND DISTINCTLY AS POSSIBLE AND THEN YOU CAN DRIFT ASHORE BUT I AM TOO TIRED TO BRING IT ANY NEARER SO YOU MUST TRY TO SWIM TO IT
