“You look wonderful， wonderful，” said the Ape. “If anyone aw you now， they’d think you were Aslan， the Great Lion， imself.”
“That would be dreadful，” said Puzzle.
“No， it wouldn‘t，” said Shift. “Ever yone would do hatever you told them.”
“But I don’t want to tell them anything.”
“But think of the good we could do！” said Shift. “You‘d ave me to advise you， you know. I’d think of sensible rders for you to give. And everyone would have to obey s， even the King himself. We would set everything right in arnia.”
“But isn‘t everything right already？” said Puzzle.
“What！” cried Shift. “Everything right.when there are no oranges or bananas？”
“Well， you know，” said Puzzle， “there aren’t many people.in fact， I don‘t think there’s anyone but yourself. who wants those sort of things.”
“There‘s sugar too，” said Shift.
“H’m yes，” said the Ass. “It would be nice if there was more sugar.”
“Well then， that‘s settled，” said the Ape. “You will pretend to be Aslan， and I’ll tell you what to say.”
“No， no， no，” said Puzzle. “Don‘t say such dreadful things. It would be wrong， Shift. I may be not very clever but I know that much. What would become of us if the real Aslan turned up？”
