Eating too much lettuce is “soporific.” That means it makes you sleepy. I have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces, but then I am not a rabbit.
Years went by. Now Benjamin Bunny and his wife, Flopsy, had a burrow full of children. Everyone called the cheerful, tumbling bunch the Flopsy Bunnies.
Six hungry bunnies ate a lot! “May we borrow a few cabbages?” Benjamin would ask Peter Rabbit, Flopsy’s brother. But sometimes Peter just shrugged at his empty cabbage patch.
