Hello. My little sister (8th grader) will join a story telling competition in town, on 24th November. She chose the story of Peter Pan on the internet. But she still confused about the pronounciation, intonation, and so on. Could you please record your voice as if you were telling this story to someone else? Just story telling style, not too fast like natural speed :D
And because the source of this text is internet, I am not sure if the grammar is right or wrong. Could you please check the grammar too?
Thank you very much!
Your help means a lot for us!
We really appreciate your help!
Peter Pan
There were siblings lived in London, their names were Wendy John and Michael Darling. One night Wendy found a strange boy sitting on the floor who was crying.
"Hello my name is Wendy," she said.
"Who are you? Why are you crying? I'm Peter Pan," the boy replied. "I'm crying because my shadow won't stick to me".
"Don't cry," Wendy said, and she sewed Peter's shadow to the tips of his shoes.
Peter was delighted. So he invited Wendy to his home, Neverland.
"Fly with me and my fairy Tinker Bell," Peter begged.
"What about my siblings? Can I bring them too?" Wendy asked.
Peter nodded and smile, "Of course."
Soon they were flying around the room with fairy dust from Tinker Bell and they were very happy, then swoosh! Out the window they all flew following the golden arrows that pointed the way to Neverland and flying over the island.
"I'm the captain here," said Peter proudly. “Looked the Indian lived over there, and the mermaids lived in the lagoon and there were pirates too led by captain Hook”.
"Pirates?," exclaimed the siblings in the same breath.
Wendy was frightened, but the boys looked excited. Peter told that hook was afraid of the crocodile because it bit of Hook's hand but luckily for hook, it swallowed a clock. It goes "Tik Tok" when it's nearby.
"Oh my," Wendy cried, and she was not sure if she really wanted to stay in Neverland after all.
Peter's house lied under the wood they entered through a door hidden in an old tree stump. They were very happy and the boys who stayed in Peter's house shouted to Wendy when the siblings arrive at home.
"Hooray! Will you be our mother?," they asked.
"Hmmm, okay I will try," said Wendy. That night they went to bed and Wendy told them the tale of Cinderella.
One day the children were exploring near the lagoon. Suddenly Peter yelled, "Pirates! Take cover!".
They hid quickly. Peter and Wendy saw the pirates tied up the Indian princess "tiger lily". Peter had to save her, so he was imitating Hook's voice and shouted, "Set her free!".
The pirates confused, "But captain, you ordered us to bring her here".
Peter roared, "Let her go".
The pirates set tiger lily free. When Captain Hook found out what had happened, he knew Peter had tricked his pirates. Hook was very angry.
That night Wendy told the boys a story about the children who left their parents and flew to Neverland. Their parents missed them very much. The story made them homesick, so they decided to fly home tomorrow morning. Peter was sad that his friends were leaving. So he ordered Tinker Bell to guide them on their trip.
The next morning they left the house, but suddenly they found themselves surrounded by pirates.
"Put your hands by your side! March in a line!," ordered the captain.
All the children followed the captain as he led them to an old ship. Tinker Bell was passing through and saw them. She rushed to inform Peter Pan. Peter and Tinker Bell found the children tied to the mast of the ship. They got ready to attack.
"Beware! here I come!," said Peter with a great cry as he jumped on the railing and challenged to a fight.
"Help me!," cried the old captain losing his balance and going overboard.
"Horray! Hooray! Hooray!," the children and Tinker Bell cheered heartily for Peter Pan.
Then, they set of to London. Wendy's parent were happy to see their children again and agreed to adopt the lost boys. They asked Peter to stay with them too, but he said "I'm going to stay in Neverland, where the g up can't tell me what to do".
Everyone called, "We'll miss you!".
Peter and Tinker Bell waved goodbye and flew home to Neverland.
Daemon has done a great job of this recording, it's spoken well and in a good story telling style.
