所有的孩子不久都懂得她们将要长大成人温迪是这样懂得的：她两岁的时候,有一天在花园里玩，她摘了一朵花,拿在手里，朝妈妈跑去我揣摩,她那个小样儿一定是怪讨人喜欢的，由于,达林太太把手按着胸口,大声说：“要是你老是这样大该多好呵!”事情的通过就是这样可是,打那后来,温迪就明白了，她终归是要长大的人一过两岁就总会懂得这一点的两岁，是个结束，也是个起点 　固然罗,她们是住在门牌十四号的那所宅子里，在温迪来到世上此前,妈妈自然是家中重要人物她是个招人喜欢的太太，一脑子的幻想;尚有一张甜甜的、喜欢逗弄人的嘴她那爱幻想的脑子，就像从神奇的东方来的那些小盒子，一种套一种，不管你打开了多少，里面总还藏着一种她那张甜甜的、逗弄人的嘴，老是挂着一种温迪得不到的吻，可那吻明明就在那儿,就在右边的嘴角上挂着 　达林先生是这样赢得她太太的:她还是个女孩的时候,周边有好些男孩,她们长成大人后来，忽然一齐发现她们爱上了她，于是她们都跑着拥进她家向她求婚;只有达林先生的做法不同，她雇了一辆马车，抢在她们头里来到她家里,于是就赢得了她达林先生得到了她的一切,只是没有得到她那些小盒子最里面的一只和那个吻那只小盒子她历来也不懂得,那个吻她徐徐地也不再想去求得了。

温迪心想,兴许拿破仑能得到那个吻，但是据我估摸,拿破仑必然试图求吻来着，可是过后却怒气冲冲地甩门而去　 达林先生时常向温迪夸口说，她妈妈不光爱她，并且敬重她她是一种学问高深的人，懂得股票和红利什么的固然啦,这些事谁也搞不清，可达林先生像是挺懂。
