` Do n't have a mother , ' he said . Not only had he no mother , but he had not the slightest desire to have one . He thought them very overrated persons . Wendy , however , felt at once that she was in the presence of a tragedy . ' O Peter , no wonder you were crying , ' she said , and got out of bed and ran to him . ' I was n't crying about mothers , ' he said rather indignantly . ' I was crying because I ca n't get my shadow to stick on . Besides , I was n't crying . ' ` It has come off ? ' ` Yes . ' Then Wendy saw the shadow on the floor , looking so draggled , and she was frightfully sorry for Peter . ` How awful ! ' she said , but she could not help smiling when she saw that he had been trying to stick it on with soap . How exactly like a boy ! Fortunately she knew at once what to do ` It must be sewn on , ' she said , just a little patronisingly . ` What 's sewn ? ' he asked . ` You 're dreadfully ignorant . ' ` No , I 'm not . ' But she was exulting in his ignorance . '
I shall sew it on for you , my little man , ' she said , though he was as tall as herself ; and she XXXXX out her housewife , and sewed the shadow on to Peter 's foot . '
