Wendy lives with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Darling, and her brothers, John and Michael, at number 14 (the house number on their street).
The children have a nurse(保姆) because the neighbors' children have nurses, and Mr. Darling wants to be like his neighbors. But the family is poor(贫穷的) so their nurse isn't like other children's nurses. She's a big dog and her name is Nana.
Nana puts the children to bed every evening and she looks after them if they cry in the night. Her kennel(狗窝) is in the children's bedroom.
Nana is a good nurse, but Mr. Darling is a bit (有点儿)worried. He worries about the neighbors. What do they think of him? Do they think that the Darlings are a strange family because the children's nurse is a dog? He also thinks that Nana does not like him. But Mrs. Darling always says: 'Nana loves you very much, George'.
The Darling family is a very happy family. Sometimes Mr. and Mrs. Darling and their children all dance around the sitting room together. What a lovely time they have!
