` Tut , tut , tut , ' said Slightly , ` this has cured her . ' ' I am glad , ' Peter cried . ' I will call again in the evening , ' Slightly said ; ` give her beef tea out of a cup with a spout to it ' ; but after he had returned the hat to John he blew big breaths , which was his habit on escaping from a difficulty . In the meantime the wood had been alive with the sound of axes ; almost everything needed for a cosy dwelling already lay at Wendy 's feet . ` If only we knew , ' said one , ` the kind of house she likes best . ' ` Peter , ' shouted another , ` she is moving in her sleep . ' ` Her mouth opens , ' cried a third , looking respectfully into it . ` Oh , lovely ! ' ` Perhaps she is going to sing in her sleep , ' said Peter . ` Wendy , sing the kind of house you would like to have . ' Immediately , without opening her eyes , Wendy began to sing : ' I wish I had a pretty house , The littlest ever seen , With funny little red walls And roof of mossy green . ' They gurgled with joy at this , for by the greatest good luck the branches they had brought were sticky with red sap , and all the ground was carpeted with moss . As they rattled up the little house they broke into song themselves : ` We 've built the little walls and roof And made a lovely door , So tell us , mother Wendy , What are you wanting more ? ' To this she answered rather greedily : ` Oh , really next I think I 'll have Gay windows all about , With roses peeping in , you know , And babies peeping out . ' With a blow of their fists they made windows , and large yellow leaves were the blinds . But roses -- ? ` Roses , ' cried Peter sternly . Quickly they made-believe to grow the loveliest roses up the walls . Babies ? To prevent Peter ordering babies they hurried into song again : ` We 've made the roses peeping out , The babes are at the door , We can not make ourselves , you know , ` Cos we 've been made before . '
