Peter did not feel very brave； indeed， he felt he was going to be sick. But that made no difference to what he had to do. He rushed straight up to the monster and aimed a slash of his sword at its side. That stroke never reached the Wolf. Quick as lightning it turned round， its eyes flaming， and its mouth wide open in a howl of anger. If it had not been so angry that it simply had to howl it would have got him by the throat at once. As it was.though all this happened too quickly for Peter to think at all.he had just time to duck down and plunge his sword， as hard as he could， between the brute’s forelegs into its heart. Then came a horrible， confused moment like something in a nightmare. He wastugging and pulling and the Wolf seemed neither alive nor dead， and its bared teeth knocked against his forehead， and everything was blood and heat and hair. A moment later he found that the monster lay dead and he had drawn his sword out of it and was straightening his back and rubbing the sweat off his face and out of his eyes. He felt tired all over.
