Neither of them much liked the idea of jumping into that pool， but neither said so to the other．They took hands and said“One-Two- Three-Go”and jumped．There was a great splash and of course they closed their eyes．But when they opened them again they found they were still standing，hand in hand，in the green wood，and hardly up to their ankles in water．The pool was apparently only a couple of inches deep．They splashed back on to the dry ground．
“What on earth’s gone wrong？”said Polly in a frightened voice； but not quite so frightened as you might expect，because it is hard to feel really frightened in that wood．The place is too peaceful．
“Oh ！ I know，”said Digory，“Of course it won’t work． We’re still wearing our yellow rings．They’re for the outward journey，you know．The green ones take you home．We must change rings．Have you got pockets ？ Good．Put your yellow ring in your left．I’ve got two greens．Here’s one for you．”
They put on their green rings and came back to the pool．But before they tried another jump Digory gave a long“O-o—oh ！ ”
“What’s the matter ？ ”said Polly．
“I’ve just had a really wonderful idea，”said Digory．“What are all the other pools ？”
