Hi guys,
I don't understand the meaning of the following bold sentence.
Could you tell me what it means?
“She’s not being silly at all,” said Peter, “she’s just making up a story for fun, aren’t you, Lu? And why shouldn’t she?"
(in chapter 3 of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by C. S. Lewis.)
Thank you.

Peter is saying there is nothing wrong with what Lucy is doing. She's just a child, so making up a story for fun is normal. It's a rhetorical question, implying that there is no reason why Lucy shouldn't make up a story for fun.
