Read the scene and use your inference skills to answer: Why do Peter Pan and Mrs. Darling have different points of view?
Use the excerpt from Chapter 17 of the novel Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie to answer the question.
"But where are you going to live?"
"With Tink in the house we built for Wendy. The fairies are to put it high up among the treetops where they sleep at night." [said Peter]
"How lovely," cried Wendy so longingly that Mrs. Darling tightened her grip.
"I thought the fairies were dead," Mrs. Darling said.
"There are always a lot of young ones," explained Wendy, who was now quite an authority,
"because, you see, when a new baby laughs for the first time, a new fairy is born, and as there are always news babies, there are always new fairies. They live in nests on the top of trees, and the mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are."
"I shall have such fun," said Peter, with one eye on Wendy.
"It will be rather lonely in the evening," she said, "sitting by the fire."
"I shall have Tink." [replied Peter).
