Peter Pan 008 – Chapter VIII.THE MERMAIDS’ LAGOON – 002
The bubbles of many colours made in rainbow water they treat as balls, hitting them gaily from one to another with their tails, and trying to keep them in the rainbow till they burst.The goals are at each end of the rainbow, and the keepers only are allowed to use their hands.Sometimes a dozen of these games will be going on in the lagoon at a time, and it is quite a pretty sight.But the moment the children tried to join in they had to play by themselves, for the mermaids immediately disappeared.Nevertheless we have proof that they secretly watched the interlopers, and were not above taking an idea from them; for John introduced a new way of hitting the bubble, with the head instead of the hand, and the mermaids adopted it.This is the one mark that John has left on the Neverland.It must also have been rather pretty to see the children resting on a rock for half an hour after their mid-day meal.Wendy insisted on their doing this, and it had to be a real rest even though the meal was make-believe.So they lay there in the sun, and their bodies glistened in it, while she sat beside them and looked important.It was one such day, and they were all on Marooners’ Rock.

그럼에도 불구하고, 그들이 몰래 침입자들을 지켜보고 있다는 증거가 있으며, 그들로부터 아이디어를 가져가는 것을 꺼리지 않았다는 증거가 있다. 존이 손 대신 머리로 물방울을 치는 새로운 방법을 소개했는데, 인어들이 그것을 채택했다.
