The Tale of Peter Rabbit

After Beatrix Potter

Once upon a time there were four little rabbits and their names were Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. They lived with their mother under a very big tree.

“Now, my dears,” said old Mrs Rabbit one morning, “you may go into the forest but don’t go into Mr McGregor’s garden: your father was put¹ in a pie by Mrs McGregor. Now run along. I am going out.”

Then old Mrs Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the forest to the baker’s. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five buns.

Flopsy, Mopsy and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went to gather blackberries. But Peter, who was very naughty, ran to Mr McGregor’s garden. First he ate some lettuces and some beans, and then he ate some radishes. But suddenly whom should he meet but Mr McGregor! Mr McGregor was watering young cab­bages. He ran after Peter calling out, “Stop thief!” Peter was afraid; he ran all over the garden and couldn’t find the way back home. He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe among the potatoes. He ran into the tool-shed and jumped into a can which had a lot of water in it. Then he jumped out of a window. The window was too small for Mr McGregor, and he was tired of run­ning after Peter. He went back to his work.
