All day Fledge flew steadily with untiring wings； eastward with the river to guide him， through the mountains and over the wild wooded hills， and then over the great waterfall and down， and down， to where the woods of Narnia were darkened by the shadow of the mighty cliff， till at last， when the sky was growing red with sunset behind them， he saw a place where many creatures were gathered together by the riverside. And soon he could see Aslan himself in the midst of them. Fledge glided down， spread out his four legs， closed his wings， and landed cantering. Then he pulled up. The children dismounted. Digory saw all the animals， dwarfs， satyrs， nymphs， and other things drawing back to the left and right to make way for him. He walked up to Aslan， handed him the apple and said：
“I’ve brought you the apple you wanted， sir.”
