One day, he and Polly sneak up to the study. They are caught by Diggory's uncle and, as punishment, they are forced to be the uncle's test subjects. They must test special transportation rings.

Then they come back, pick up some passengers, and go to the land of the new, where life has barely started. They witness animals getting the gift of speech from the high leader of Narnia, who is a lion named Aslan, and they discover the White Witch, an incredibly evil woman who wants to take over the new world, which is called Narnia.
