Why does Wendy not die when Tootles shoots her?

Wendy does not die when Tootles shoots her because the bullet is made of "dream" and lacks lethal power. In J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan," the characters exist in a fantastical world where the rules of reality differ from our own. Tootles' action reflects the innocence and imagination of childhood, where harm is often depicted in a non-lethal way. Thus, Wendy remains unharmed, symbolizing the resilience of childhood and the protective magic of Neverland.
