You must not think , however , that he was a coward , for he came back next night with a crust in one hand and a stick in the other , but the perambulator had gone , and he never saw another one . I have promised to tell you also about his paddle . It was a child 's spade which he had found near St. Govor 's Well , and he thought it was a paddle . Do you pity Peter Pan for making these mistakes ? If so , I think it rather silly of you . What I mean is that , of course , one must pity him now and then , but to pity him all the time would be impertinence . He thought he had the most splendid time in the Gardens , and to think you have it is almost quite as good as really to have it . He played without ceasing , while you often waste time by being mad-dog or Mary-Annish . He could be neither of these things , for he had never heard of them , but do you think he is to be pitied for that ? Oh , he was merry . He was as much merrier than you , for instance , as you are merrier than your father . Sometimes he fell , like a spinning-top , from sheer merriment . Have you seen a greyhound leaping the fences of the Gardens ? That is how Peter leaps them . And think of the music of his pipe . Gentlemen who walk home at night write to the papers to say they heard a nightingale in the Gardens , but it is really Peter 's pipe they hear . Of course , he had no mother -- at least , what use was she to him ? You can be sorry for him for that , but do n't be too sorry , for the next thing I mean to tell you is how he revisited her . It was the fairies who gave him the chance . The Little House Everybody has heard of the Little House in the Kensington Gardens , which is the only house in the whole world that the fairies have built for humans .
But no one has really seen it , except just three or four , and they have not only XXXXX it but slept in it , and unless you sleep in it you never see it .
