CHAPTER　ONE

？灏忚��/t锛竧｜澶╁爞
the　island　　once　there　were　four　children　whose　names　were　peter；　susan；　edmund；　and　　lucy；　and　it　has　been　told　in　another　book　called　the　lion；　the　witch　and　the　　wardrobe　how　they　had　a　remarkable　adventure。　they　had　opened　the　door　of　a　magic　wardrobe　　and　found　themselves　in　a　quite　different　world　from　ours；　and　in　that　different　　world　they　had　bee　kings　and　queens　in　a　country　called　narnia。　while　they　were　in　　narnia　they　seemed　to　reign　for　years　and　years；　but　when　they　came　back　through　the　　door　and　found　themselves　in　england　again；　it　all　seemed　to　have　taken　no　time　at　　all。　at　any　rate；　no　one　noticed　that　they　had　ever　been　away；　and　they　never　told　anyone　　except　one　very　wise　grown…up。

that　had　all　happened　a　year　ago；　and　now　all　four　of　them　were　sitting　on　　a　seat　at　a　railway　station　with　trunks　and　playboxes　piled　up　round　them。　they　were；　　in　fact；　on　their　way　back　to　school。　they　had　travelled　together　as　far　as　this　　station；　which　was　a　junction；　and　here；　in　a　few　minutes；　one　train　would　arrive　and　take　the　　girls　away　to　one　school；　and　in　about　half　an　hour　another　train　would　arrive　and　the　boys　　would　go　off　to　another　school。　the　first　part　of　the　journey；　when　they　were　all　together；　　always　seemed　to　be　part　of　the　holidays；　but　now　when　they　would　be　saying　good…bye　and　　going　different　ways　so　soon；　everyone　felt　that　the　holidays　were　really　over　　and　everyone　felt　their　term…time　feelings　beginning　again；　and　they　were　all　rather　gloomy　　and　no　one　could　think　of　anything　to　say。　lucy　was　going　to　boarding　school　for　the　　first　time。

it　was　an　empty；　sleepy；　country　station　and　there　was　hardly　anyone　on　the　　platform　except　themselves。　suddenly　lucy　gave　a　sharp　little　cry；　like　someone　who　　has　been　stung　by　a　wasp。

〃whats　up；　lu？〃　said　edmund　…　and　then　suddenly　broke　off　and　made　a　noise　　like　〃ow！鈥�

〃what　on　earth…〃；began　peter；　and　then　he　too　suddenly　changed　what　he　had　　been　going　to　say。　instead；　he　said；　〃susan；　let　go！　what　are　you　doing？　where　are　you　　dragging　me　to？鈥�

〃im　not　touching　you；〃　said　susan。　〃someone　is　pulling　me。　oh　…　oh　…oh　…　stop　it！鈥�

everyone　noticed　that　all　the　others　faces　had　gone　very　white。

〃i　felt　just　the　same；〃　said　edmund　in　a　breathless　voice。　〃as　if　i　were　　being　dragged　along。　a　most　frightful　pulling…ugh！　its　beginning　again。鈥�

〃me　too；〃　said　lucy。　〃oh；　i　cant　bear　it。鈥�

〃look　sharp！〃　shouted　edmund。　〃all　catch　hands　and　keep　together。　this　is　　magic　…　i　can　tell　by　the　feeling。　quick！鈥�

〃yes；〃　said　susan。　〃hold　hands。　oh；　i　do　wish　it　would　stop…oh！鈥�

next　moment　the　luggage；　the　seat；　the　platform；　and　the　station　had　　pletely　vanished。　the　four　children；　holding　hands　and　panting；　found　themselves　　standing　in　a　woody　place　…　such　a　woody　place　that　branches　were　sticking　into　them　and　　there　was　hardly　room　to　move。　they　all　rubbed　their　eyes　and　took　a　deep　breath。

〃oh；　peter！〃　exclaimed　lucy。　〃do　you　think　we　can　possibly　have　got　back　to　　narnia？鈥�

〃it　might　be　anywhere；〃　said　peter。　〃i　cant　see　a　yard　in　all　these　trees。　　lets　try　to　get　into　the　open　…　if　there　is　any　open。鈥�

with　some　difficulty；　and　with　some　stings　from　nettles　and　pricks　from　　thorns；　they　struggled　out　of　the　thicket。　then　they　had　another　surprise。　everything　　became　much　brighter；　and　after　a　few　steps　they　found　themselves　at　the　edge　of　the　　wood；　looking　down　on　a　sandy　beach。　a　few　yards　away　a　very　calm　sea　was　falling　on　the　　sand　with　such　tiny　ripples　that　it　made　hardly　any　sound。　there　was　no　land　in　sight　　and　no　clouds　in　the　sky。　the　sun　was　about　where　it　ought　to　be　at　ten　oclock　in　the　　morning；　and　the　sea　was　a　dazzling　blue。　they　stood　sniffing　in　the　sea…smell。

〃by　jove！〃　said　peter。　〃this　is　good　enough。鈥�

five　minutes　later　everyone　was　barefooted　and　wading　in　the　cool　clear　　water。

〃this　is　better　than　being　in　a　stuffy　train　on　the　way　back　to　latin　and　　french　and　algebra！〃　said　edmund。　and　then　for　quite　a　long　time　there　was　no　more　　talking；　only　splashing　and　looking　for　shrimps　and　crabs。

〃all　the　same；〃　said　susan　presently；　〃i　suppose　well　have　to　make　some　　plans。　we　shall　want　something　to　eat　before　long。鈥�

〃weve　got　the　sandwiches　mother　gave　us　for　the　journey；〃　said　edmund。　〃at　　least　ive　got　mine。鈥�

〃not　me；〃　said　lucy。　〃mine　were　in　my　little　bag。鈥�

〃so　were　mine；〃　said　susan。

〃mine　are　in　my　coat…pocket；　there　on　the　beach；〃　said　peter。　〃thatll　be　　two　lunches　among　four。　this　isnt　going　to　be　such　fun。鈥�

〃at　present；〃　said　lucy；　〃i　want　something　to　drink　more　than　something　to　　eat。鈥�

everyone　else　now　felt　thirsty；　as　one　usually　is　after　wading　in　salt　　water　under　a　hot　sun。

〃its　like　being　shipwrecked；〃　remarked　edmund。　〃in　the　books　they　always　　find　springs　of　clear；　fresh　water　on　the　island。　wed　better　go　and　look　for　them。鈥�

〃does　that　mean　we　have　to　go　back　into　all　that　thick　wood？〃　said　susan。

〃not　a　bit　of　it；〃　said　peter。　〃if　there　are　streams　theyre　bound　to　e　　down　to　the　sea；　and　if　we　walk　along　the　beach　were　bound　to　e　to　them。鈥�

they　all　now　waded　back　and　went　first　across　the　smooth；　wet　sand　and　then　　up　to　the　dry；　crumbly　sand　that　sticks　to　ones　toes；　and　began　putting　on　their　　shoes　and　socks。

edmund　and　lucy　wanted　to　leave　them　behind　and　do　their　exploring　with　　bare　feet；　but　susan　said　this　would　be　a　mad　thing　to　do。　〃we　might　never　find　them　　again；〃　she　pointed　out；　〃and　we　shall　want　them　if　were　still　here　when　night　es　　and　it　begins　to　be　cold。鈥�

when　they　were　dressed　again　they　set　out　along　the　shore　with　the　sea　on　　their　left　hand　and　the　wood　on　their　right。　except　for　an　occasional　seagull　it　was　a　very　　quiet　place。

the　wood　was　so　thick　and　tangled　that　they　could　hardly　see　into　it　at　　all；　and　nothing　in　it　moved　…　not　a　bird；　not　even　an　insect。

shells　and　seaweed　and　anemones；　or　tiny　crabs　in　rockpools；　are　all　very　　well；　but　you　soon　get　tired　of　them　if　you　are　thirsty。　the　childrens　feet；　after　the　　change　from　the　cool　water；　felt　hot　and　heavy。　susan　and　lucy　had　raincoats　to　carry。　　edmund　had　put　down　his　coat　on　the　station　seat　just　before　the　magic　overtook　them；　and　　he　and　peter　took　it　in　turns　to　carry　peters　great…coat。

presently　the　shore　began　to　curve　round　to　the　right。　about　quarter　of　an　　hour　later；　after　they　had　crossed　a　rocky　ridge　which　ran　out　into　a　point；　it　made　quite　a　　sharp　turn。

their　backs　were　now　to　the　part　of　the　sea　which　had　met　them　when　they　　first　came　out　of　the　wood；　and　now；　looking　ahead；　they　could　see　across　the　water　　another　shore；　thickly　wooded　like　the　one　they　were　exploring。

〃i　wonder；　is　that　an　island　or　do　we　join　on　to　it　presently？〃　said　lucy。

〃dont　know；〃　said　peter　and　they　all　plodded　on　in　silence。

the　shore　that　they　were　walking　on　drew　nearer　and　nearer　to　the　opposite　　shore；　and　as　they　came　round　each　promontory　the　children　expected　to　find　the　place　　where　the　two　joined。　but　in　this　they　were　disappointed。　they　came　to　some　rocks　which　　they　had　to　climb　and　from　the　top　they　could　see　a　fairway　ahead　and　…　〃oh　bother！〃　　said　edmund；　〃its　no　good。　we　shant　be　able　to　get　to　those　other　woods　at　all。　were　　on　an　island！鈥�

it　was　true。　at　this　point　the　channel　between　them　and　the　opposite　coast　　was　only　about　thirty　or　forty　yards　wide；　but　they　could　now　see　that　this　was　its　　narrowest　place。　after　that；　their　own　coast　bent　round　to　the　right　again　and　they　could　see　open　　sea　between　it　and　the　mainland。　it　was　obvious　that　they　had　already　e　much　more　than　　halfway　round　the　island。

〃look！〃　said　lucy　suddenly。　〃whats　that？〃　she　pointed　to　a　long；　silvery；　　snake…like　thing　that　lay　across　the　beach。

〃a　stream！　a　stream！〃　shouted　the　others；　and；　tired　as　they　were；　they　　lost　no　time　in　clattering　down　the　rocks　and　racing　to　the　fresh　water。　they　knew　that　the　　stream　would　be　better　to　drink　farther　up；　away　from　the　beach；　so　they　went　at　once　to　　the　spot　where　it　came　out　of　the　wood。　the　trees　were　as　thick　as　ever；　but　the　stream　　had　made　itself　a　deep　course　between　high　mossy　banks　so　that　by　stooping　you　could　follow　　it　up　in　a　sort　of　tunnel　of　leaves。　they　dropped　on　their　knees　by　the　first　brown；　　dimply　pool　and　drank　and　drank；　and　dipped　their　faces　in　the　water；　and　then　dipped　their　　arms　in　up　to　the　elbow。

〃now；〃　said　edmund；　〃what　about　those　sandwiches？鈥�

〃oh；　hadnt　we　better　have　them？〃　said　susan。　〃we　may　need　them　far　worse　　later　on。鈥�

〃i　do　wish；〃　said　lucy；　〃now　that　were　not　thirsty；　we　could　go　on　feeling　　as　not…hungry　as　we　did　when　we　were　thirsty。鈥�

〃but　what　about　those　sandwiches？〃　repeated　edmund。　〃theres　no　good　saving　　them　till　they　go　bad。　youve　got　to　remember　its　a　good　deal　hotter　here　than　in　　england　and　weve　been　carrying　them　about　in　pockets　for　hours。〃　so　they　got　out　the　　two　packets　and　divided　them　into　four　portions；　and　nobody　had　quite　enough；　but　it　　was　a　great　deal　better　than　nothing。　then　they　talked　about　their　plans　for　the　next　meal。　　lucy　wanted　to　go　back　to　the　sea　and　catch　shrimps；　until　someone　pointed　out　that　they　　had　no　nets。

edmund　said　they　must　gather　gulls　eggs　from　the　rocks；　but　when　they　came　　to　think　of　it　they　couldnt　remember　having　seen　any　gulls　eggs　and　wouldnt　be　able　　to　cook　them　if　they　found　any。　peter　thought　to　himself　that　unless　they　had　some　　stroke　of　luck　they　would　soon　be　glad　to　eat　eggs　raw；　but　he　didnt　see　any　point　in　saying　　this　out　loud。

susan　said　it　was　a　pity　they　had　eaten　the　sandwiches　so　soon。　one　or　two　　tempers　very　nearly　got　lost　at　this　stage。　finally　edmund　said：　　　

〃look　here。　theres　only　one　thing　to　be　done。　we　must　explore　the　wood。　　hermits　and　knights…errant　and　people　like　that　always　manage　to　live　somehow　if　　theyre　in　a　forest。

they　find　roots　and　berries
