D
Wendy lived with her parents, Mr and Mrs Darling, and her brothers, John and Michael, at number 14 (the house number on their street).
The children had a nurse because the neighbours' children had nurses, and Mr Darling wanted to be like his neighbours. But the family was poor so their nurse wasn't like other children's nurses. She was a big dog and her name was Nana.
Nana put the children to bed every evening and she looked after them if they cried in the night. Her kennel was in the children's bedroom, just next to their beds.
Nana was a good nurse, but Mr Darling was a bit worried. He worried about the neighbours. Sometimes he thought, "What do they think of me? Do they think that the Darlings are a strange family because the children's nurse is a dog?" He also thought that Nana didn't like him. But Mrs Darling always said, "Nana loves you very much, George. "
The Darling family was a very happy family. Sometimes Mr and Mrs Darling and their children all danced around the sitting room together. What a lovely tie they had! But then, Peter Pan arrived!
One morning Mrs Darling found some leaves on the bedroom floor. She was surprised because it was a strange place to find leaves. When Wendy saw them, she smiled and said, "Oh! It's Peter again!
