Therefore, Fledge and the children decide to stop for the night and continue the journey in the morning. At the end of the valley will be a small hill with a garden on top, where the tree grows.Īfter many hours of flying, they have still not reached the valley. In order to reach the garden, they must fly over water and through icy mountains until they reach a green valley with a blue lake. Both Digory and Polly climb on Fledge's back and the horse flies off carrying the two children in the direction of the garden. As Digory and Fledge prepare to leave, Polly asks if she can go with them, and Aslan agrees. To help Digory reach the garden, Aslan makes Strawberry into a winged horse and changes the horse's name to Fledge. Aslan leans down to give Digory "a Lion's kiss" which gives Digory even more strength and courage. Although Digory is unsure of how he will reach this garden, he feels he has the strength to do it. Digory's task is to fetch the seed needed to plant that tree the seed will come from an apple which grows in a garden in the Western Wild, the land beyond Narnia. The Witch will not dare approach the tree for many years, and thus the tree will keep her away from Narnia. Aslan looks into Digory's eyes and Digory sees that the Lion also has tears in his eyes he understands Digory's grief.Īslan tells Digory that in order to protect Narnia from the Witch, Aslan would like to plant a special tree. Digory assents, but is pained when he thinks of his mother, and cannot help but ask again if Aslan can help her. But Aslan only requests that they rule Narnia fairly and justly, farm food from the earth, and protect its creatures from evil the Cabby and his wife agree that they can comply with these requirements.Īslan asks Digory if he is ready to help protect Narnia. At first, the Cabby protests because he does not feel fit to be a king, “I never ’ad much eddycation, you see” (163).

Aslan asks the couple to be king and queen. Aslan sings out a note, and the Cabby's wife appears. Aslan invites the Cabby to stay in Narnia the Cabby agrees to stay as long as his wife can be with him.

Just as Aslan announces this, Polly and the Cabby arrive on foot.Īslan then focuses his attention on the Cabby and Polly. Aslan declares that because the "son of Adam" (Digory) brought evil to Narnia, his race (humans) will also help rid Narnia of evil. Digory then truthfully recounts the story of what happened, how he awakened the Witch, and how he and the others accidentally arrived in Narnia. However, instead of answering Digory's request, Aslan tells the other animals that Digory is the one who brought the evil Witch to Narnia. Digory approaches Aslan and asks him for help for his mother. Meanwhile, Digory and Strawberry arrive at Aslan's council, Polly and the Cabby are walking and are farther behind. The she-elephant uses her trunk to "water" Uncle Andrew, which brings him back to consciousness. In the end, they decide he is a tree, and they plant him feet-first in the ground. They try to decide if he is the same species as the children and Cabby, or another type of animal, or a tree. The animals then spend time debating what Uncle Andrew is. After a few of the animals try to speak with Uncle Andrew, he faints out of fear.

Also, just as Uncle Andrew cannot understand the animal's speech, the animals also cannot understand Uncle Andrew's speech. Because he looks different from the children and is dressed differently, and the animals perceive clothes to be the equivalent of their fur, they suspect he may be a different kind of creature. The animals are unsure of what Uncle Andrew is. Chapter 11: Digory and His Uncle Are Both in Trouble
