8 Questions
Directions: Read Chapter 6 of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and answer the following questions.

“Peter’s Goat”

Peter and Maimie started to talk. Peter was very pleased to learn that people outside the gate had heard about him. He begged Maimie to tell him what they knew and what they said, and so she did.

When Peter told Maimie how he played, she said, “All your ways of playing are wrong.” Poor Peter was very sad about this and cried. Maimie felt sorry for him and offered to give him a kiss. Peter had forgotten what kisses were and held out his hand for her to give him something. Maimie did not want to upset him, so she gave him a thimble that was in her pocket and pretended that it was a kiss.

Peter wanted Maimie to stay with him in Kensington Gardens. They started walking towards his boat, as it was nearly time for the gates to open. As they got close to the Serpentine, Maimie shivered and said, “I am not saying goodbye to mother forever. I will go and see her often.”

Peter didn’t want to tell her the truth because he was afraid of losing her. He liked her so much that he could not live without her. “Soon she will forget her mother and be happy with me,” he kept saying to himself.

When they got to the boat, Maimie said to Peter, “Peter, you know I will only stay if I can return to my mother whenever I want to.”

“If you are sure your mother will always want you,” he said.

This made Maimie cry. Peter sat down miserably in the snow. He told her the sad story of how he had been locked out.

Just then they heard the sound of the gates opening, and Peter jumped nervously into his boat. He knew Maimie would not come with him now, and he was trying bravely not to cry. But Maimie was sobbing painfully, afraid that her mother might have got a new child to replace her already. Peter sprang back ashore and reassured her that she would be in time. Then he covered his face with his hands so that he might not see her go.

“Dear Peter!” she cried

“Dear Maimie!” cried the tragic boy

Peter hoped that one night she would come back to him, but Maimie never went back. One day when she was wondering what to give him for a present, her mother suggested a goat. “He could ride on it,” cried Maimie, “and play on his pipe at the same time.”

“Then give him your goat, the one you frightened Tony with at night,” said her mother.

“But it isn’t a real goat,” Maimie said.

“It seems very real to Tony,” replied her mother.

The next day they went to Kensington Gardens, and Maimie left the goat in a fairy ring. She also left a letter to Peter explaining what she had done. She begged him to ask the fairies to turn it into a goat he could ride. So that is how Peter got the goat he now rides round the gardens every night playing on his pipe. And Maimie kept her promise, and never frightened Tony with a goat again.
