'' `` It was exactly as if someone were pulling my hair . '' `` That must have been Tink . I never knew her so naughty before . '' And indeed Tink was darting about again , using offensive language . `` She says she will do that to you , Wendy , every time I give you a thimble . '' `` But why ? '' `` Why , Tink ? '' Again Tink replied , `` You silly ass . '' Peter could not understand why , but Wendy understood , and she was just slightly disappointed when he admitted that he came to the nursery window not to see her but to listen to stories . `` You see , I do n't know any stories . None of the lost boys knows any stories . '' `` How perfectly awful , '' Wendy said . `` Do you know , '' Peter asked `` why swallows build in the eaves of houses ? It is to listen to the stories . O Wendy , your mother was telling you such a lovely story . '' `` Which story was it ? '' `` About the prince who could n't find the lady who wore the glass slipper . ''
`` Peter , '' XXXXX Wendy excitedly , `` that was Cinderella , and he found her , and they lived happily ever after . ''
