The Tale of Peter Rabbit By:Beatrix Potter


There were 4 rabbits-lived with their mother in a sand-bank under the root of a big fir-tree. Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter. Mrs. Rabbit said they could go into the fields or down the lane but they were not allowed to go into Mr. McGregor’s garden-their father was baked into a pie. Mrs. Rabbit went out to the bakers-bought bread and buns. The bunnies went down the lane to gather blackberries. Peter, who was naughty, went into the garden. He met with Mr. McGregor-he jumped up and ran after Peter. Peter forgot how to get out-he lost his shoes-ran into a gooseberry net and his jacket was caught. He gave up and cried-sparrows heard and helped him get the jacket off-Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve which he was going to pop on top of Peter but he ran free towards the toolshed. He jumped into a water can-with water in it. Mr. McGregor was sure he was in the shed-he turned over flower pots. Peter sneezed and Mr. McGregor was after him-Peter jumped through the window and got away. He was wet, cold and lost. He found a door in a wall but no room for Peter-Peter asked the mouse which way to the gate but could not understand her-she had a pea in her mouth. He came to a pond and saw a white cat watching the goldfish-He went away without speaking to her. He went back to the toolshed and heard a hose-he ran under the bushes. He climbed on a wheel barrel and saw Mr. McGregor hoeing onions and also saw the gate. He ran with Mr. chasing after him-he wiggled under the gate and ran home. He was so tired when he finally made it back home-her mother was cooking and wondered where his clothes were. Peter was ill in the evening-mother gave him tea. Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail had bread milk and blackberries for dinner
