But
the
kite
broke
to
pieces
in
the
air
,
and
he
would
have
been
drowned
in
the
Serpentine
had
he
not
caught
hold
of
two
indignant
swans
and
made
them
carry
him
to
the
island
.
After
this
the
birds
said
that
they
would
help
him
no
more
in
his
mad
enterprise
.
Nevertheless
,
Peter
did
reach
the
Gardens
at
last
by
the
help
of
Shelley
's
boat
,
as
I
am
now
to
tell
you
.
Shelley
was
a
young
gentleman
and
as
grown-up
as
he
need
ever
expect
to
be
.
He
was
a
poet
;
and
they
are
never
exactly
grown-up
.
They
are
people
who
despise
money
except
what
you
need
for
to-day
,
and
he
had
all
that
and
five
pounds
over
.
So
,
when
he
was
walking
in
the
Kensington
Gardens
,
he
made
a
paper
boat
of
his
bank-note
,
and
sent
it
sailing
on
the
Serpentine
.
It
reached
the
island
at
night
;
and
the
look-out
brought
it
to
Solomon
Caw
,
who
thought
at
first
that
it
was
the
usual
thing
,
a
message
from
a
lady
,
saying
she
would
be
obliged
if
he
could
let
her
have
a
good
one
.
They
always
ask
for
the
best
one
he
has
,
and
if
he
likes
the
letter
he
sends
one
from
Class
A
,
but
if
it
ruffles
him
he
sends
very
funny
ones
indeed
.
Sometimes
he
sends
none
at
all
,
and
at
another
time
he
sends
a
nestful
;
it
all
depends
on
the
mood
you
catch
him
in
.
He
likes
you
to
leave
it
all
to
him
,
and
if
you
mention
particularly
that
you
hope
he
will
see
his
way
to
making
it
a
boy
this
time
,
he
is
almost
sure
to
send
another
girl
.
And
whether
you
are
a
lady
or
only
a
little
boy
who
wants
a
baby-sister
,
always
take
pains
to
write
your
address
clearly
.
You
ca
n't
think
what
a
lot
of
babies
Solomon
has
sent
to
the
wrong
house
.
Shelley
's
boat
,
when
opened
,
completely
puzzled
Solomon
,
and
he
took
counsel
of
his
assistants
,
who
having
walked
over
it
twice
,
first
with
their
toes
pointed
out
,
and
then
with
their
toes
pointed
in
,
decided
that
it
came
from
some
greedy
person
who
wanted
five
.
They
thought
this
because
there
was
a
large
five
printed
on
it
.
'
Preposterous
!
'
cried
Solomon
in
a
rage
,
and
he
presented
it
to
Peter
;
anything
useless
which
drifted
upon
the
island
was
usually
given
to
Peter
as
a
plaything
.
But
he
did
not
play
with
his
precious
bank-note
,
for
he
knew
what
it
was
at
once
,
having
been
very
observant
during
the
week
when
he
was
an
ordinary
boy
.
With
so
much
money
,
he
reflected
,
he
could
surely
at
last
contrive
to
reach
the
Gardens
,
and
he
considered
all
the
possible
ways
,
and
decided
(
wisely
,
I
think
)
to
choose
the
best
way
.
But
,
first
,
he
had
to
tell
the
birds
of
the
value
of
Shelley
's
boat
;
and
though
they
were
too
honest
to
demand
it
back
,
he
saw
that
they
were
galled
,
and
they
cast
such
black
looks
at
Solomon
,
who
was
rather
vain
of
his
cleverness
,
that
he
flew
away
to
the
end
of
the
island
,
and
sat
there
very
depressed
with
his
head
buried
in
his
wings
.
Now
Peter
knew
that
unless
Solomon
was
on
your
side
,
you
never
got
anything
done
for
you
in
the
island
,
so
he
followed
him
and
tried
to
hearten
him
.
Nor
was
this
all
that
Peter
did
to
gain
the
powerful
old
fellow
's
good-will
.
You
must
know
that
Solomon
had
no
intention
of
remaining
in
office
all
his
life
.
He
looked
forward
to
retiring
by
and
by
,
and
devoting
his
green
old
age
to
a
life
of
pleasure
on
a
certain
yew-stump
in
the
Figs
which
had
taken
his
fancy
,
and
for
years
he
had
been
quietly
filling
his
stocking
.
It
was
a
stocking
belonging
to
some
bathing
person
which
had
been
cast
upon
the
island
,
and
at
the
time
I
speak
of
it
contained
a
hundred
and
eighty
crumbs
,
thirty-four
nuts
,
sixteen
crusts
,
a
pen-wiper
,
and
a
boot-lace
.
When
his
stocking
was
full
,
Solomon
calculated
that
he
would
be
able
to
retire
on
a
competency
.
Peter
now
gave
him
a
pound
.
He
cut
it
off
his
bank-note
with
a
sharp
stick
.
This
made
Solomon
his
friend
for
ever
,
and
after
the
two
had
consulted
together
they
called
a
meeting
of
the
thrushes
.
You
will
see
presently
why
thrushes
only
were
invited
.
The
scheme
to
be
put
before
them
was
really
Peter
's
,
but
Solomon
did
most
of
the
talking
,
because
he
soon
became
irritable
if
other
people
talked
.
He
began
by
saying
that
he
had
been
much
impressed
by
the
superior
ingenuity
shown
by
the
thrushes
in
nest-building
,
and
this
put
them
into
good-humour
at
once
,
as
it
was
meant
to
do
;
for
all
the
quarrels
between
birds
are
about
the
best
way
of
building
nests
.
