Chapter 3 has interesting talks between Peter Pan and Wendy. 

Peter Pan, in the excitement of findind his shadow back,forgot Tinker Bell(a fairy from his world who had accompanied  peter to find his shadow)in th drawer.Tinker Bell was a girl exquisitely gowned in a skeleton leaf, cut low and square, through which her figure could be seen to the best advantage.If he thought at all, but I don’t believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water, and when they did not he was appalled. He tried to stick it on with soap from the bathroom, but that also failed. A shudder passed through Peter, and he sat on the floor and cried. His sobs woke Wendy, and she sat up in bed. She was not alarmed to see a stranger crying on the nursery floor; she was only pleasantly interested.

Wendy helped him find the shadow.After Peter found the shadow,they became good frinds.Both told each other about their lives.Peter told wendy about the fairies in his world and Wendy told him about the stories  which her mom would tell.From the time Peter had left home,he never heard such stories.He was very much happy to hear to them again and he wanted wendy to go with him to Neverland and tell the stories to the boys living with him.Wendy and her brothers flew with Peter Pan to Neverland.

 On the other hand Tinker bell is jealous of Wendy,She doesn’t like Peter getiting close to Wendy,specially when Wendy kissed Peter.

Peter Pan,wendy and her brothers were flying over the sea before this thought began to disturb Wendy seriously. John thought it was their second sea and their third night. Sometimes it was dark and sometimes light, and now they were very cold and again too warm. Did they really feel hungry at times, or were they merely pretending, because Peter had such a jolly new way of feeding them? His way was to pursue birds who had food in their mouths suitable for humans and snatch it from them; then the birds would follow and snatch it back; and they would all go chasing each other gaily for miles, parting at last with mutual expressions of good-will. But Wendy noticed with gentle concern that Peter did not seem to know that this was rather an odd way of getting your bread and butter, nor even that there are other ways. After a while,they were sleepy; and that was a danger, for the moment they popped off, down they fell. The awful thing was that Peter thought this funny.

 There he goes again!” he would cry gleefully, as Michael suddenly dropped like a stone.

Wendy got worried and shouted for help.Eventually Peter would dive through the air, and catch Michael just before he could strike the sea, and it was lovely the way he did it; but he always waited till the last moment, and you felt it was his cleverness that interested him and not the saving of human life. Also he was fond of variety, and the sport that engrossed him one moment would suddenly cease to engage him, so there was always the possibility that the next time you fell he would let you go. He could sleep in the air without falling, by merely lying on his back and floating, but this was, partly at least, because he was so light that if you got behind him and blew he went faster.

On reaching Neverland,they could not land because of Tinker Bell,who woke up from Peter’s shoulder,Captai hook(Pirate).Neverland was very much different from the stories.

Tinker bell hated  Wendy because she got close to Peter and also she hated the boys as they flew with Peter.Tink was not all bad; or, rather, she was all bad just now, but, on the other hand, sometimes she was all good. Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time. They are, however, allowed to change, only it must be a complete change. At present she was full of jealousy of Wendy. What she said in her lovely tinkle Wendy could not of course understand, and I believe some of it was bad words, but it sounded kind, and she flew back and forward, plainly meaning “Follow me, and all will be well.”
What else could poor Wendy do? She called to Peter and John and Michael, and got only mocking echoes in reply. She did not yet know that Tink hated her with the fierce hatred of a very woman. And so, bewildered, and now staggering in her flight, she followed Tink to her doom.

Chapter 5 describes about the Isalnd.Peter Pan is not on the Island,everything on the Isalnd comes to life,The lost boys,the ugly looking Pirates,the Red skins who always carry a knife with them and their bodies gleam with oil and paint and the beasts with the crocodiles.Peter Pan had cut off the hand of Captain hook( Pirate) and it was eaten away by a Crocodile.So now  Crocodile is the only thing Hook is scared of,as he thinks that t he crocodile wants to eat his rest of the body.

The Pirates(hook and smee) find that Peter is not at home and so they plan to hurt the boys.Fortunately,Hook is scared away by the Crocodile. But, the boys are chased by the wolves.He they scared but did what Peter Pan had done earlier when wolves had chased him.They looked at the wolves in between the two legs which eventually scared the wolves and thus they were safe.

On the other hand,Tinker bell who is Jealous of Wendy plans to hurt her.She  asks the boys to shoot Wendy and says that it was Peter’s command.The boys listened to her and shot an arrow at Wendy’s Breast.

The story is becoming interesting as the chapters go by.I just can’t wait to know what will be next.
