“They  say  Aslan  is  on  the  move-­‐  perhaps  has  already  landed.”  

And now a very curious thing happened.

None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do……..….

Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a DREAM that someone says something which you Don’t Understand but in the Dream it feels as if it had some Enormous Meaning

Ø  either a Terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a Nightmare

Ø  or else a Lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream So Beautiful that you Remember it ALL Your Life & are Always Wishing you could get into that dream again.

It was like that now.

At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something JUMP in

its INSIDE.

Ø Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious HORROR.

Ø Peter felt suddenly Brave and Adventurous.

Ø Susan felt as if some Delicious Smell or some delightful strain of Music had just floated by her.

Ø  And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning

and realize that it is the Beginning of the Holidays of the beginning of summer.

But as for Aslan himself, the Beavers and the children didn’t know what to

do or say when they saw him.

People who have not been in Narnia sometimes think that a thing can

NOT be Good AND Terrible at the same time.

If the children had ever thought so, they were Cured of it now.

For when they tried to look at Aslan’s FACE they just caught

a glimpse of the golden mane and the

Eyes;

and then they found they

Couldn’t Look at Him and went all Trembly.
