7. The Lost Boys Get a The Lost Boys heard a happy shout, and they ran from the underground house.
"It's Peter!" they cried. "Peter is home!"
Peter landed in front of the boys, and the Darling children landed behind him.
“Hello, boys!" said Peter. “I am back, and I have a mother for you all! Her name is Wendy."
The Lost Boys fell on their knees in front of Wendy.
"Oh, Wendy, please be our mother!" they cried.
Wendy was very pleased.
"But I'm only a little girl," she said. “I don't know how to be a mother.”
"It doesn't matter,” said Peter. “You are kind and gentle, and you will love us. That's all we need.”
"Very well," said Wendy. "I will try my best."
So Wendy looked after Peter, John, Michael and the Lost Boys. Peter made entrances to the
underground house for each of the three Darling children, and they all lived together happily.
Wendy cooked their meals and kept the house tidy. She mended their old clothes and made them
new ones. She put the boys to bed at night and did all the things that a mother should do.
She enjoyed doing it, and even when she shouted at the boys and made them take their
medicine, she had a big smile on her face.
