Once upon a time there were four little rabbits: Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter. Their cozy home was a burrow in a sandy bank, under a huge fir tree.
One morning, Mrs. Rabbit gathered her children. “My dears, you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don’t go into Mr. McGregor’s garden. Your father had an accident there.”
Off went Mother with her basket. Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail were good. They skipped away to pick blackberries. But Peter, who was very naughty, raced off to Mr. McGregor’s gate. Squeeze, squeeze! Under he went!
