The tongues of the pursuers were hanging out ; the baying of them was horrible . ` Save me , save me ! ' cried Nibs , falling on the ground . ` But what can we do , what can we do ? ' It was a high compliment to Peter that at that dire moment their thoughts turned to him . ` What would Peter do ? ' they cried simultaneously . Almost in the same breath they added , ` Peter would look at them through his legs . ' And then , ` Let us do what Peter would do . ' It is quite the most successful way of defying wolves , and as one boy they bent and looked through their legs . The next moment is the long one ; but victory came quickly , for as the boys advanced upon them in this terrible attitude , the wolves dropped their tails and fled . Now Nibs rose from the ground , and the others thought that his staring eyes still saw the wolves . But it was not wolves he saw . ' I have seen a wonderfuller thing , ' he cried , as they gathered round him eagerly . ' A great white bird . It is flying this way . ' ` What kind of a bird , do you think ? ' ' I do n't know , ' Nibs said , awestruck , ` but it looks so weary , and as it flies it moans , `` Poor Wendy . '' ' ` Poor Wendy ? ' ' I remember , ' said Slightly instantly , ` there are birds called Wendies . '
` See , it comes , ' cried Curly , pointing to XXXXX in the heavens .
