After exploring the area in the previous chapter and discussing what is occurring, the children now find a group of soldiers trying to drown a poor dwarf near their camp. Apparently in the time the children have been away from Narnia, the woods near the ruins of Cair Paravel are now rumored to be haunted by ghosts. Because of these spooky rumors, people now use this spot to dispose of prisoners.
Before the other children can even think, Susan has dispatched an arrow to help this dwarf get free. They know nothing about this dwarf or why he is there. Susan just jumps into action without thinking. This is reminiscent of the Good Samaritan. In that parable Jesus tells, the Samaritan helps the stranger on the side of the road without knowing anything about him. All the Samaritan knows is that this man needs help. Susan does the same for the dwarf. At the end of the parable, Jesus calls the audience to do likewise. The same is true for us.
