He had to tell her . `` Do you think you could swim or fly as far as the island , Wendy , without my help ? '' She had to admit that she was too tired . He moaned . `` What is it ? '' she asked , anxious about him at once . `` I ca n't help you , Wendy . Hook wounded me . I can neither fly nor swim . '' `` Do you mean we shall both be drowned ? '' `` Look how the water is rising . '' They put their hands over their eyes to shut out the sight . They thought they would soon be no more . As they sat thus something brushed against Peter as light as a kiss , and stayed there , as if saying timidly , `` Can I be of any use ? '' It was the tail of a kite , which Michael had made some days before . It had torn itself out of his hand and floated away . `` Michael 's kite , '' Peter said without interest , but next moment he had seized the tail , and was pulling the kite toward him . `` It lifted Michael off the ground , '' he cried ; `` why should it not carry you ? '' `` Both of us ! '' `` It ca n't lift two ; Michael and Curly tried . ''
`` Let us draw lots , '' XXXXX said bravely .
