Funny . But she seemed satisfied . Of course all the boys went to school ; and most of them got into Class III , but Slightly was put first into Class IV and then into Class V. Class I is the top class . Before they had attended school a week they saw what goats they had been not to remain on the island ; but it was too late now , and soon they settled down to being as ordinary as you or me or Jenkins minor -LSB- the younger Jenkins -RSB- . It is sad to have to say that the power to fly gradually left them . At first Nana tied their feet to the bed-posts so that they should not fly away in the night ; and one of their diversions by day was to pretend to fall off buses -LSB- the English double-deckers -RSB- ; but by and by they ceased to tug at their bonds in bed , and found that they hurt themselves when they let go of the bus . In time they could not even fly after their hats . Want of practice , they called it ; but what it really meant was that they no longer believed . Michael believed longer than the other boys , though they jeered at him ; so he was with Wendy when Peter came for her at the end of the first year . She flew away with Peter in the frock she had woven from leaves and berries in the Neverland , and her one fear was that he might notice how short it had become ; but he never noticed , he had so much to say about himself . She had looked forward to thrilling talks with him about old times , but new adventures had crowded the old ones from his mind . `` Who is Captain Hook ? '' he asked with interest when she spoke of the arch enemy . `` Do n't you remember , '' she asked , amazed , `` how you killed him and saved all our lives ? '' `` I forget them after I kill them , '' he replied carelessly . When she expressed a doubtful hope that Tinker Bell would be glad to see her he said , `` Who is Tinker Bell ? '' `` O Peter , '' she said , shocked ; but even when she explained he could not remember . `` There are such a lot of them , '' he said . `` I expect she is no more . '' I expect he was right , for fairies do n't live long , but they are so little that a short time seems a good while to them .
Wendy was pained too to find that the past XXXXX was but as yesterday to Peter ; it had seemed such a long year of waiting to her .
