--Chapter 2 What Lucy Found There--
This chapter is about Lucy and the Faun .
The Faun's name is Tumnus. He asked Lucy if she is a girl again and again . He looked delighted because she said yes.
He told to her that this place is Narnia.
She was surprised. He asked her, “How you have come into Narnia?"
She answered,” I got in through the wardrobe in the spare room."
But he misunderstood her response. He heard, "I got in through the War Drobe in the Spare Oom." H e thought that War Drobe is a city and Spare Oom is a country.
Tumnus proposed that Lucy visit his house and have tea with him. She agreed. Then they were going to Tumnus's house.
Suddenly, the path became hilly and rocky.
But she saw the entrance of his house. She thought that it was a very nice place.
They drank tea. The tea tasted delicious. They also ate toast.
Tumnus began to talk. He had wonderful tales. He told about midnight dances and how Nymphs who lived in the wells and the Dryads who lived in the trees, came out to dance with the Fauns and so on.
The tune he played made Lucy want to do many actions all at the same time.
Lucy shook herself and told to him she has to go home. But he said , "No good ."
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."

This chapter is very exciting.
Lucy is a very innocent girl.
Tumnus is a kind Faun.
