Peter Pan — Page 18
Will they reach the nursery in time?
¿Llegarán al cuarto de los niños a tiempo?
If so, how delightful for them, and we shall all breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be no story.
Si es así, qué delicia para ellos, y todos exhalaremos un suspiro de alivio, pero no habrá historia.
On the other hand, if they are not in time, I solemnly promise that it will all come right in the end.
Por otro lado, si no llegan a tiempo, prometo solemnemente que todo saldrá bien al final.
They would have reached the nursery in time had it not been that the little stars were watching them.
Habrían llegado al cuarto de los niños a tiempo de no ser porque las pequeñas estrellas los estaban observando.
Once again the stars blew the window open, and that smallest star of all called out:
Una vez más las estrellas abrieron la ventana de un soplo, y la más pequeña de todas exclamó:
"Cave, Peter!"
«¡Cuidado, Peter!»
Then Peter knew that there was not a moment to lose.
Entonces Peter supo que no había un momento que perder.
"Come," he cried imperiously, and soared out at once into the night, followed by John and Michael and Wendy.
«¡Venid!», gritó imperiosamente, y se lanzó de inmediato a la noche, seguido por John, Michael y Wendy.
Mr. and Mrs. Darling and Nana rushed into the nursery too late.
El señor y la señora Darling y Nana irrumpieron en el cuarto de los niños demasiado tarde.
The birds were flown.
Los pájaros habían volado.
