As Peter was flying towards the ship, he passed the crocodile(鳄鱼) It had swallowed (吞) a clock that goes "tick, tick' , inside it before. However, the clock wasn't ticking then. Peter realized it must have stopped. He began ticking himself so that the other animals would think he was the crocodile and leave him alone. The crocodile, thinking that Peter had taken the clock, followed him. But when Peter reached the ship, Captain(船长) Hook believed the crocodile was coming to get him.

Peter climbed over the side of the ship and went inside a room. He barked like a dog, and all the pirates (海盗) were very afraid. Hook sent two pirates in to find out what the noise was, but they didn't come back. Then he sent in the children. Inside, Peter set them free, and they prepared to fight.

Peter ran out to meet Hook, "It is 1, Peter Pan!" he cried.

"Get him!" cried Hook.

The pirates ran at Peter, and the lost boys ran forward to fight them. The pirates were stronger, but they were so afraid of the ticking and the noise of the dog that they didn't fight well. Finally only Hook was ready to fight. Peter came to fight him. For a long time, the two enemies stood face to face.

They began to fight. At last Peter hit Hook with his sword(剑). Hook began to bleed. Hook continued to fight, but he was not strong any more. He knew he was going to die. He ran to the side of the ship and jumped into the sea. He did not know the crocodile was waiting for him, as it no longer ticked. The crocodile swallowed him in one bite.
