“This is absolutely crazy,”said Eustaund.
“I know.A—”said Edmund.
“Isn’t it wonderful?”said Lucy.“Have you noticed one ’t feel afraid, even if one wants to?Try it.”
“By Jove, her one ,”said Eustace after he had tried.
Jewel reached the foot of the Waterfall first, but Tirian was only just behind him.Jill was last, so she could e the whole thier thahers.She saw something white moving steadily up the face of the Waterfall.That white thing was the Uni.You couldn’t tell whether he was swimming or climbing, but he moved on, higher and higher.The point of his horn divided the water just above his head, and it cascaded out in two rainbow-colored streams all round his shoulders.Just behind him came King Tirian.He moved his legs and arms as if he were swimming but he moved straight upward, as if one could swim up the wall of a hou.
What looked fu was the Dogs.During the gallop they had not been at all out of breath, but now, as they swarmed and wriggled upwards, there lenty of spluttering and sneezing among them; that was becau they would keep on barking, and every time they barked they got their mouths and nos full of water.But before Jill had time to notice all the things fully, she was going up the Waterfall herlf.It was the sort of thing that would have been quite impossible in our world.Even if you hadn’t been drowned, you would have been smashed to pieces by the terrible weight of water against the tless jags of rock.But in that world you could do it.You went on, up and up, with all kinds of reflected lights flashing at you from the water and all manner of colored stones flashing through it, till it emed as if you were climbing up light itlf-and always higher and higher till the n of height would have terrified you if you could be terrified, but later it was only gloriously exg.And then at last one came to the lovely, smooth green curve in which the water poured over the top and found that one was out on the level river above the Waterfall.The current was rag away behind you, but you were such a wonderful swimmer that you could make headway against it.Soon they were all on the bank, dripping but happy.
