The four Pevensie children are waiting at a train station when a magical force pulls them into Narnia. They land at an overgrown castle, which they recognize as Cair Paravel. Susan saves the life of a dwarf named Trumpkin, who is about to be drowned by two soldiers on a boat. The children tell him they are the old kings and queens of Narnia, of which Trumpkin has heard of in the Narnian legends.
