Ok admit we`ve had some pretty stupid kids go to Narnia but the worst is Jill Pole why can`t she even remember four simple signs
 
Ah, but that's the point, don't you see? Sometimes the simplicity of the command gets lost in the press and rush of everyday living. You know, things like "do not lie." Three simple words, and always easy to remember and obey - right?

as my daughter would say, "not!"

Also, read carefully Aslan's words about how her memory would get scrambled, and how the signs would not look like she thought they would look! That part's critically important, because often the path of obedience in our lives looks more like a rock than a path ("I'm supposed to go that way? It's all boulders!") - but we're promised the signs will always work, and we'll always be between the paws of the true Aslan!

What he said. =)
 
Lucy, you can't remember them? :p

1. The first person Scrubb sees in Narnia will be an old friend. If he speaks to him in time they will receive great help.
2. They must journey out of Narnia to the north 'till they came to the ruined city of ancient giants.
3. They will find a writing on a stone in the ruined city, and they must do what the writing tells them.
4. They will know the lost prince by the fact that he will be the first person they meet in their travels that will ask them to do something in Aslan's name.
 
Remembered.

It's not that hard if you say it a few times. And on top of that you read a whole adventure based off those four signs; they kinda get stuck in your head :p
 
My favorite character is definatly Prince Rilian!!! He is just soooo awesome!!! :D
 
Cd

Lamer,
I noticed your signature and I wondered if you liked Rebecca St. James? I do! I also have that cd! But my fave is Kutless and Toby Mac on it! And If you have no idea what I am talking about, I talking about the Narnia CD (Music Inspired by Narnia!!!)

Hey, I don't have the CD (I'm getting it hopefully soon) and I'm not a massive fan of Rebecca St James, but I love that song. It's my fave song on the CD. Second is New World (Toby Mac) of course :p

Cool, someone else here likes the CD!

It's an awesome CD, you'll really enjoy it!!! :) :) :)
 
The only time she forgets the signs (except when they slip her mind when she first gets to Narnia) is when she's been going for days through the snow thinking only of Harfang. I'd say that's pretty understandable.
 
So you wouldn't forget the signs, lamer and GoatyLegs? Well aren't you perfect then. Let's see how you go when you have been transported into a different world, met a freaky scary huge lion who talks, get told the 4 signs really quickly, then get flown across a huge sea and land at some strange castle and then get sent on some weird adventure through marshes and lands filled with giants where you nearly get eaten and meet goodness knows what number of strange creatures below the ground, including a green witch and her strange silent companion. Let's see if you remember the 4 signs then.

This is a ridiculous thread.
 
All I have to do is remember ONE thing each day.
To become more like Jesus.

I fail in some way everyday.
It's amazing how something so simple can be so hard.

LOL, that's our favorite kind of Thread at narniafns!

I agree with you that it would be tough to remember the four signs, but Aslan did impress on Jill how important it was. I usually write stuff like that on my hand.

Oh, I must have missed the part where Aslan gave Jill a pen. :)
 
Ink where'd she get the pen?? or is it in her back pocket??? cuz thats the first thing I stick in my back pocket when I dont know I am going to transported to another world and given 4 signs...and doesnt she faint??? After I fall asleep unexpectedly I dont normally remember what happend
 
And you people want to be writers! I always have a pen. you can even get a mini-Space Pen that writes underwater or upsidedown but is only half the size of a regular pen and can go in your pocket or purse. Also, my husband is a wood artisan who handmakes wooden pens, so I always have my one he made for me, too. Jill was too young, I guess.
 
The only person I remember who always had a pen was Dr. Cornelius. :p Aravis had a slave to write for her. Oh Eustace had a pen also for his journal.

Oh, I am in good company then! Too bad he didn't bring his pen to Silver Chair!
