Which of these adventures shall we choose? The best way will be to toss for it. I have tossed, and the lagoon has won. WHICH OF THESE ADVENTURES SHALL WE CHOOSE THE BEST WAY WILL BE TO TOSS FOR IT I HAVE TOSSED AND THE LAGOON HAS WON
 Peter's friends, particularly of the Never bird that built in a tree overhanging the lagoon, and how the nest fell into the water, and still the bird sat on her eggs, and Peter gave orders that she was not to be disturbed. That is a pretty story, and the end shows how grateful a bird can be; but if we tell it we must also tell the whole adventure of the lagoon, which would of course be telling two adventures rather than just one. A shorter adventure, and quite as exciting, was Tinker Bell's attempt, with the help of some street fairies, to have the sleeping Wendy conveyed on a great floating leaf to the mainland. Fortunately the leaf gave way and Wendy woke, thinking it was bath-time, and swam back. Or again, we might choose Peter's defiance of the lions, when he drew a circle round him on the ground with an arrow and defied them to cross it; and though he waited for hours, with the other boys and Wendy looking on breathlessly from trees, not one of them dared to accept his challenge. THE BIRDS THAT WERE PETER'S FRIENDS PARTICULARLY OF THE NETHERBIRD THAT BUILT IN A TREE OVERHANGING THE LAGOON AND HOW THE NEST FELL INTO THE WATER AND STILL THE BIRDS SAT ON THEIR EGGS AND PETER GAVE ORDERS THAT SHE WAS NOT TO BE DISTURBED THAT IS A PRETTY STORY AND THE END SHOWS HOW GRATEFUL A BIRD CAN BE BUT IF WE TELL IT WE MUST ALSO TELL THE WHOLE ADVENTURE OF THE LAGOON WHICH WOULD OF COURSE BE TELLING TWO ADVENTURES RATHER THAN JUST ONE A SHORTER ADVENTURE AND QUITE AS EXCITING WAS TINKER BELL'S ATTEMPT WITH THE HELP OF SOME STREET FAIRIES TO HAVE THE SLEEPING WENDY CONVEYED ON A GREAT FLOATING LEAF TO THE MAIN LAND FORTUNATELY THE LEAF GAVE WAY AND WENDY WOKE THINKING IT WAS BIRTH TIME AND SWAM BACK OR AGAIN WE MIGHT CHOOSE PETER'S DEFIANCE OF THE LIONS WHEN HE DREW A CIRCLE ROUND HIM ON THE GROUND WITH AN ARROW AND DIVIDE THEM TO CROSS IT AND THOUGH HE WAITED FOR HOURS WITH THE OTHER BOYS AND WENDY LOOKING ON BREATHLESSLY FROM TREES NOT ONE OF THEM DARE TO ACCEPT HIS CHALLENGE
