` Well , then , take it . ' ` Well , then , you take it . ' Wendy had a splendid idea . ` Why not both take it at the same time ? ' ` Certainly , ' said Mr. Darling . ` Are you ready , Michael ? ' Wendy gave the words , one , two , three , and Michael took his medicine , but Mr. Darling slipped his behind his back . There was a yell of rage from Michael , and ' O father ! ' Wendy exclaimed . ` What do you mean by `` O father '' ? ' Mr. Darling demanded . ` Stop that row , Michael . I meant to take mine , but I -- I missed it . ' It was dreadful the way all the three were looking at him , just as if they did not admire him . ` Look here , all of you , ' he said entreatingly , as soon as Nana had gone into the bathroom , ' I have just thought of a splendid joke . I shall pour my medicine into Nana 's bowl , and she will drink it , thinking it is milk ! ' It was the colour of milk ; but the children did not have their father 's sense of humour , and they looked at him reproachfully as he poured the medicine into Nana 's bowl . ` What fun , ' he said doubtfully , and they did not dare expose him when Mrs. Darling and Nana returned . ` Nana , good dog , ' he said , patting her , ' I have put a little milk into your bowl , Nana . ' Nana wagged her tail , ran to the medicine , and began lapping it .
Then she gave Mr. XXXXX such a look , not an angry look : she showed him the great red tear that makes us so sorry for noble dogs , and crept into her kennel .
