~~~~~Chapter 12~~~~~

Peter, Susan, Lucy and Mr. and Mrs. Beaver were walking on hour after hour into what seemed a delicious dream. They were happy because they felt spring instead of winter. They smelt lovely scents and saw blubells and a kingfisher. Also they saw a lot of things that showed that spring was coming. They realized Aslan came to Narnia.

Mr. Beaver began leading them uphill across some very deep, springy moss. They climbed for a long time that made them all pant. They arrived at the top.

They saw the sea and a gray stone supported on four upright stones. It looked very old. And they saw a pavilion. It was wonderful.

At last, they saw Aslan with a crowd of creatures. Aslan stood in the center of them. That shape looked like a half-moon.

They didn't go because they thought Aslan had a dreadful face. Aslan said, "Welcome, Peter, Son of Adam, Welcome, Susan and Lucy, Daughters of Eve. Welcome He-Beaver and She-Beaver." and he asked them where the fourth was. They explained. Aslan said nothing. Lucy asked Aslan to save Edmund. Aslan said he would do but it may be harder than you thought.

Aslan said to Peter that Aslan would want him to see the far-off sight of the castle where Peter would be King. Peter followed Aslan. Aslan pointed at Cair Paravel of the four thrones. He said Peter would be High King over all the rest. Peter said nothing. At that moment a strange noise broke the silence. "It is your sister's horn." said Aslan.
For a moment Peter didn't understand and Peter listened Aslan's shouting voice. Then Peter understood what happened.

Peter met a wolf alone. So, Peter had to fight the dangerous wolf. At first, Peter wasn't good at using his sword. However, in a moment of bewilderment, he killed it. He felt tired.

"Quick! Quick!" shouted Aslan. Aslan saw another wolf in the thickets but missed it.

Aslan said, "You have forgotten to clean your sword." So Peter stooped down and wiped his sword and his shield on the grass.

Aslan said to hand it to him and ordered Peter to kneel. Peter knelt. Then Aslan said, "Rise up, Sir Peter Wolf's-Bane. And, whatever happens, never forget to wipe your sword."



================= My Feeling about Chapter 12 ====================
I don't believe that Peter killed a wolf!!! I thought when he met a dangerous thing, he certainly escaped or yelled for help. I wondered what Aslan said, "But it may be harder than you think." I wanted to know it means.

Chapter 11

While Edmund spent his time, the dwarf finished preparing the witch's sledge. Edmund requested some Turkish Delight from her. She said, "Silence, fool!" and clapped her hands. Then, another dwarf appeared. She ordered the dwarf to give Edmund some food and drink. The dwarf went away.

The dwarf brought him some water and dry bread. Edmund said, "Take it away. I don't want dry bread." However, the witch frowned her face and then he started to eat. It was so stale he could hardly get it down.

While he was still chewing, the first dwarf came back and said the sledge was ready. The witch rose and went out of the hall with Edmund.

He sat down on the sledge beside her. She called Maugrim who was a wolf and he came. She said, "Take with you the swiftest of your wolves and go at once to the house of the Beavers, and kill whatever you find there." Also she said if they find them, what she would do. (Question) They promised to obey her and started to go to the stone table. They were as fast as a galloping horse.

After a few minutes, Maugrim had called another wolf and was with him down on the dam and sniffing at the Beaver's house. Of course they found it empty.

Meanwhile the dwarf whipped the reindeer, they started to run. Edmund felt cold because he didn't wear a coat. He would have liked to have met the others at that moment, even Peter.

As they travelled to travelled , the witch said, "What have we here? Stop!" The dwarf stopped. Edmund thought that she said let's eat some breakfast, but she had stopped for a different reason. They walked a little, they saw squirrels, satyrs, a dwarf and an old dog-fox. The dwarf and animals had been enjoying a merry party. She asked them,"What is the meaning of this?" Nobody answered. Then she spoke something angrily, then one fox said, " If I might make so bold as to drink your Majesty's very good health--------" "Who gave them to you?" said the witch. The fox stammered, "F-F-F-Father Christmas." She was surprised because he hadn't been here since she used magic.
She killed them and gave Edmund the food that they ate.

They started to run again.
The reindeer weren't running as well as they had been running up till now because the air grew foggier and warmer and the reindeer were tired. The sledge ran slower and slower.

The dwarf said to her they couldn't go with the sledge. It was becoming Spring. There were many flowers and they felt hot with their coats. So, the witch decided to walk. The witch ordered the dwarf, "Do as you're told. Tie the hands of the human creature behind it and keep hold of the end of the rope. And take your whip. And cut the harness of the reindeer; they'll find their own way home."
The dwarf obeyed her. So, Edmund was the first , the dwarf was the second and the witch was the last in a row as they walked.

While they walked, they realized this was spring. The dwarf said this was spring. her winter had been destroyed, this was Aslan's doing. Then the witch said, "If either of you mentions that name again, he shall instantly be killed."

==============MY FEELING ABOUT THIS CHAPTER 11=========
I guess that Aslan has a lot of power. The witch was cruel. I wanted Edmund to escape from her.

After she finished, they started an adventure. They stopped in an old hiding-place for beavers in bad times. They ate something and slept easily. They woke up and felt a little cold and dreadfully stiff. They heard some jingling bells.

Mr. Beaver went out of the cave. They imagined that the witch had caught him. Mr. Beaver shouted,"It's all right. It isn't her!" They went out of the cave, too. Mr. Beaver said the witch's power was already crumbling. They didn't understand, so they asked him how he knew. Mr. Beaver said, "That she'd made it always winter and never Christmas? Didn't I tell you? Well, just come and see!"

They saw a man. He was a huge man and wore a bright red robe and a hood. Also he had fur inside it and a great white beard.

Everyone knew him because they saw him many times. However, they hadn't seen him in person. He was a Father Christmas.

He said, "The witch's magic is weakening." He gave them presents. Mr. and Mrs. Beaver received a sewing machine and a new house. Peter received a shield and a sword. Susan received a bow and a quiver full of arrows and a little ivory horn. At last, Lucy received a little bottle of what looked like glass and a small dagger. Father Christmas said, " In this bottle, there is a cordial made of the juice of one of the fire-flowers that grow in the mountains ofthe sun. If you or any of your friends is hurt, a few drops of this will restore them."

===============Story Summary=========================================
Edmund ran away from Peter, Susan, Lucy, Mr. Beaver and Mrs. Beaver. (He as expected wanted to eat Turkish Delight and he thought that the witch better than that awful Aslan) He, as expected, wanted to eat Turkish Delight. Also, he thought that the witch was better than that awful Aslan. And he wanted to be King only. (Every time that he walked more, he felt a pain more.) The more he walked, the more pain he felt. Finally, he found the witch's house . It was a small castle. He walked on and on, then found the door. (However, he didn't entered the door now.) However, he didn't enter the door then. He felt a little afraid because he saw the great lion. He seemed to stay there for many hours.
After many hours, he started to wonder why the lion was standing still. He thought that the lion was staring at a little dwarf. But it wasn't true. (He knew definitely that the lion was turned into stone because he touched it.) He knew definitely that the lion had been turned into stone because he touched it. He wondered if this was Aslan. He laughed at the lion and he scribbled a moustache on the lion's upper lip. Also he scribbled a pair of spectacles on its eyes. He said, "Yah! Silly old Aslan! How do you like being a stone? You thought yourself mighty fine, didn't you?"
He turned away and began to cross the courtyard. After a few minutes, he saw a wolf. (He seemed it to stone wolf, so he continued to step.) He thought it had been turned into stone too, so he continued to walk. Instantly the wolf said, "Who's there? Who's there? Stand still, stranger, and tell me who you are."
(He said about himself.) He introduced himself. Then the wolf said, " I will tell Her Majesty."
He entered the hall. He saw the faun that saved Lucy but he couldn't help wondering if this might be Lucy's friend.
He met the witch. The witch said with a terrible voice, "How dare you come alone?" He said he did his best and he felt afraid. (So, he decided to say a news.) So he decided to give her some information. (He said about they(Lucy, Peter and Susan) were in the little house with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and Aslan.) He said that Lucy, Peter and Susan were in the little house with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and Aslan.
She was surprised and then she ordered the dwarf that Edmund had seen to ready her sledge.

==========================My feeling about this chapter=============================
This chapter was very funny. Especially, Edmund's actions were funny. (I miss that he passed Mr. Tumnus.) I wish he recognized Mr. Tumnus. (If he met him, the story was more exciting. ) If he recognized him, the story would have been more exciting.
Also, I was impressed the witch's attitude. The witch's attitude changed a lot!

Chapter 8

------------------------------ STORY SUMMARY---------------------------------------------
Lucy asked Mr. Beaver about Mr. Tumnus. Mr. Beaver said they didn't save him from the witch and they had to visit Aslan. They argued about saving Mr. Tumnus including Mr. Beaver. Mr. Beaver wanted to visit Aslan first and save Mr. Tumnus. But Peter wanted to save Mr. Tumnus first and vist Aslan. They continued for a few minutes.
When Mr. Beaver said "Aslan", suddenly they asked about Aslan. Mr. Beaver said Aslan was king . After they finished talking, they were worried if the witch turned Aslan into stone because she and Aslan were enemies. Mr. Beaver laughed he never was turned into stone. Also Mr. Beaver read an old rhyme: 'Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight, At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.'
Then he said, "Why, Daughter of Eve, that's what I brought you here for. I'm to lead you where you shall meet him." They asked him if Aslan was a man. Mr. Beaver said sternly he was a man. They were surprised and then they asked him if Aslan was safe. Mr. Beaver said,"Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King. I tell you."
Mr. Beaver said an another old rhyme: 'When Adam's flesh and Adam's bone Sits at Cair Paravel in throne, The evil time will be over and done.'
They knew that the witch would like us to believe that she was a human. But she was born of two creatures. One parent was Adam's first wife, Lilith. The other was one of the giants. So the witch wasn't a real human.

After much time, Lucy suddenly said, "I say---where's Edmund?" Edmund disappeared. At first, they left Mr. Beaver's house in order to find Edmund but they didn't find him. Mr. Beaver said he went to her. They didn't understand how Mr. Beaver knew that Edmund went to her. Mr. Beaver said to Lucy, "Has he been in this country alone before?"
Lucy said, "Yes." Then Mr. Beaver asked, "And did he tell you what he'd done or who he'd met?" Lucy said he didn't. Mr. Beaver said he had already met the White Witch and eaten much of her food. They wanted to save Edmund because he was their brother. Also they were worried about Edmund. Mr. Beaver said the witch will use him as a decoy. Now their problem was how much he could tell her depended on how much he heard. They talked and decided that he knew many things also about Aslan.
They felt they didn't have time. They decided to leave there as soon as possible.

-------------------------------------My feeling of this chapter ---------------------------------
This story proved that Edmund was very stupid.
Edmund was really stupid because he didn't believe their family.
I think that if someone didn't believe their family then he was crazy.
This story was so fun that I wanted to keep reading.

Chapter 7

Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy found a beaver. They approached it. When they met the beaver, the beaver asked,"Are you the Sons of Adam and the Daughters of Eve?" They replied in a normal tone that they are human. Suddenly, the beaver said, "S-s-s-sh". They wondered and asked why did the beaver say "S-s-s-sh"? The beaver said there were many spies in here. They moved closer to the beaver.

The beaver's name was Mr. Beaver. The beaver said seriously, "They say Aslan is on the move-------perhaps has already landed."
At that moment, there was silence because they didn't know about Aslan. However, they felt like they were in a dream.

Lucy asked the beaver about Mr. Tumnus, but the beaver didn't say. The beaver said he will bring them to his home. They had quite an adventure on their way to the beaver's house.

After, they arrived at Mr. Beaver's house. The house was made of sticks and mud. They entered the house. There was one beaver. The beaver's name was Mrs. Beaver. She prepared dinner. Lucy and Susan helped Mrs.Beaver to cook dinner. Peter also helped Mr.Beaver to catch fish.

Finally, they ate dinner. While they ate dinner, it snowed and Mr. Beaver said, "That's all the better, because it means we shan't have any visitors; and if anyone should have been trying to follow you, why he won't find any tracks."

She heard his voice and jumped up and felt rather frightened.
Suddenly Tumnus's brown eyes had filled with tears and then the tears began to trickle down.
Lucy worried about them because she felt afraid and he looked sad. Lucy tried to put her arms round him and lent him her handkerchief, but he did not stop crying . Later, Lucy asked him,"What on earth are you crying about?" And he said," I'm crying because I'm such a bad Faun."
Lucy told him she thought that he wasn't a bad Faun.
Tumnus told her to tell the truth; he kidnapped her and would hand her over to the White Witch.
However, Lucy didn't believe that.
Lucy still wanted to go home and Tumnus decided to take her home.
Therefore, they left Tumnus's house. They quickly arrived at the lamppost in the middle of the wood.
Tumnus said to her that you have to go to the Spare Oom as fast as you can.

She ran to the wardrobe and arrived in the empty room.
She said to Peter , Susan and Edmund, "I'm here. I've come back, I'm all right."
