Chapter 9 The Never Bird Summary
Peter Pan is on Marooner’s Rock with the tide getting higher and higher. A Never Bird spots Peter and wants to help. She pushes her floating nest closer to Peter. She tries to tell him to swim toward her, but they don’t speak the same language. The two become quite irritated when they can’t communicate.
Finally, the bird gets her nest right up to the rock. Peter does not want to damage her eggs. He places them gently into a pirate’s hat that was left on the rock. He sends the waterproof hat with the eggs out into the sea. The mother bird lands on her eggs and is very happy with her new “nest.”
Peter rides in the bird’s nest to the shore and actually bets Wendy back to their cavern home. Soon everyone is reunited and happy.

I rather wonder at the bird, for though he had been nice to her, he had also sometimes tormented her. I can suppose only that, like Mrs. Darling and the rest of them, she was melted because he had all his first teeth.
What does the author most likely mean when he refers to Peter Pan and his first teeth?
