     Peter did not seem to be enjoying himself�察�he kept hearing noises。 

     BENJAMIN�察�on the contrary�察�was perfectly at home�察�and ate a lettuce 

leaf。   He   said   that   he   was   in   the   habit   of   coming   to   the   garden   with   his 

father to get lettuces for their Sunday dinner。 

     ��The name of little Benjamin's papa was old Mr。 Benjamin Bunny。�� 

     The lettuces certainly were very fine。 

     PETER   did      not   eat   anything�察  �he   said  he   should   like   to  go  home。 

Presently he dropped half the onions。 

     LITTLE Benjamin said that it was not possible to get back up the pear´ 

tree�察�with a load of vegetables。 He led the way boldly towards the other 

end of the garden。 They went along a little walk on planks�察�under a sunny 

red´ brick wall。 

     The mice sat on their door´ steps cracking cherry´stones�察�they winked 

at Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin Bunny。

     PRESENTLY Peter let the pocket´handkerchief go again。 

     THEY   got   amongst   flower´   pots�察  �and   frames   and   tubs�察  �Peter   heard 

noises worse than ever�察�his eyes were as big as lolly´pops� �

     He was a step or two in front of his cousin�察�when he suddenly stopped。 

     THIS is what those little rabbits saw round that corner� �

     Little Benjamin took one look�察�and then�察�in half a minute less than no 

time�察   �he   hid   himself     and   Peter    and   the   onions    underneath      a   large 

basket。 。 。 。 

     THE   cat   got   up   and   stretched   herself�察  �and   came   and   sniffed   at   the 

basket。 

     Perhaps she liked the smell of onions� �

     Anyway�察�she sat down upon the top of the basket。 

     SHE sat there for FIVE HOURS。 

       * * * * * 

     I   cannot   draw   you   a   picture   of   Peter   and   Benjamin   underneath   the 

basket�察  �because   it   was   quite   dark�察  �and   because   the   smell   of   onions   was 

fearful�察�it made Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin cry。 

     The   sun   got   round     behind    the   wood�察  �and   it  was   quite   late   in  the 

afternoon�察�but still the cat sat upon the basket。 

     AT   length   there   was   a   pitter´   patter�察  �pitter´patter�察  �and   some   bits   of 

mortar fell from the wall above。 

     The cat looked up and saw old Mr。 Benjamin Bunny prancing along 

the top of the wall of the upper terrace。 

     He was smoking a pipe of rabbit´tobacco�察�and had a little switch in his 

hand。 

     He was looking for his son。 

     OLD Mr。 Bunny had no opinion whatever of cats。 

     He took a tremendous jump off the top of the wall on to the top of the 

cat�察  �and   cuffed   it   off   the   basket�察  �and   kicked   it   into   the   garden´house�察�

scratching off a handful of fur。 

     The cat was too much surprised to scratch back。 

     WHEN   old   Mr。   Bunny   had   driven   the   cat   into   the   green´house�察  �he 

locked the door。 

     Then he came back to the basket and took out his son Benjamin by the 



                                              7

ears�察�and whipped him with the little switch。 

     Then he took out his nephew Peter。 

     THEN he took out the handkerchief of onions�察�and marched out of the 

garden。 

     When   Mr。   McGregor   returned   about   half   an   hour   later�察  �he   observed 

several things which perplexed him。 

     It looked as though some person had been walking all over the garden 

in a pair of clogsonly the foot´marks were too ridiculously little� �

     Also he could not understand how the cat could have managed to shut 

herself up INSIDE the green´house�察�locking the door upon the OUTSIDE。 

     WHEN Peter got home�察�his mother forgave him�察�because she was so 

glad   to   see   that   he   had   found   his   shoes   and   coat。   Cotton´tail   and   Peter 

folded   up   the   pocket´   handkerchief�察  �and   old   Mrs。   rabbit   strung   up   the 

onions and hung them from the kitchen ceiling�察�with the rabbit´tobacco。

           THE TALE OF THE FLOPSY 

                                BUNNIES 



       FOR ALL  LITTLE   FRIENDS   OF   MR。   McGREGOR   &   PETER   & 

BENJAMIN 

       IT is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is ;soporific。; 

       _I_ have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces�察�but then _I_ am not a 

rabbit。 

    They certainly had a very soporific effect upon the Flopsy Bunnies� �

    WHEN Benjamin Bunny grew up�察�he married his Cousin Flopsy。 They 

had a large family�察�and they were very improvident and cheerful。 

    I   do   not   remember   the   separate   names   of   their   children�察  �they   were 

generally called the ;Flopsy Bunnies。; 

    AS   there   was   not   always   quite   enough   to   eat�察  �Benjamin   used   to 

borrow cabbages from Flopsy's brother�察�Peter Rabbit�察�who kept a nursery 

garden。 

     SOMETIMES Peter Rabbit had no cabbages to spare。 

    WHEN this happened�察�the Flopsy Bunnies went across the field to a 

rubbish heap�察�in the ditch outside Mr。 McGregor's garden。 

    MR。 McGREGOR'S rubbish heap was a mixture。 There were jam pots 

and    paper   bags�察  �and   mountains     of  chopped    grass   from   the  mowing 

machine ��which always   tasted oily���察  �and some   rotten vegetable   marrows 

and    an  old  boot   or  two。   One   dayoh    joy��there   were   a  quantity   of 

overgrown lettuces�察�which had ;shot; into flower。 

    THE   Flopsy   Bunnies   simply   stuffed   lettuces。   By   degrees�察  �one   after 

another�察  �they   were   overcome   with   slumber�察  �and   lay   down   in   the   mown 

grass。 

    Benjamin was not so much overcome as his children。 Before going to 

sleep he was sufficiently wide awake to put a paper bag over his head to 

keep off the flies。 

    THE little Flopsy Bunnies slept delightfully in the warm sun。 From the 

lawn beyond the garden came the distant clacketty sound of the mowing 

machine。 The blue´ bottles buzzed about the wall�察�and a little old mouse 



                                           9 


´ Page 10´

                              The Original Peter Rabbit Books 



picked over the rubbish among the jam pots。 ��I can tell you her name�察�she 

was called Thomasina Tittlemouse�察�a woodmouse with a long tail。�� 

     SHE rustled across the paper bag�察�and awakened Benjamin Bunny。 

     The mouse apologized profusely�察�and said that she knew Peter Rabbit。 

     WHILE   she   and   Benjamin   were   talking�察  �close   under   the   wall�察  �they 

heard    a  heavy    tread   above    their  heads�察   �and   suddenly    Mr。   McGregor 

emptied out a sackful of lawn mowings right upon the top of the sleeping 

Flopsy Bunnies� �Benjamin shrank down under his paper bag。 The mouse 

hid in a jam pot。 

     THE   little   rabbits   smiled   sweetly   in   their   sleep   under   the   shower   of 

grass�察�they did not awake because the lettuces had been so soporific。 

     They  dreamt   that   their   mother   Flopsy  was   tucking   them  up   in   a   hay 

bed。 

     Mr。   McGregor   looked   down   after   emptying   his   sack。   He   saw   some 

funny little brown tips of ears sticking up through the lawn mowings。 He 

stared at them for some time。 

     PRESENTLY a fly settled on one of them and it moved。 

     Mr。 McGregor climbed down on to the rubbish heap 

     ;One�察�two�察�three�察�four� �five� �six leetle rabbits� ─�said he as he dropped 

them   into   his   sack。   The   Flopsy   Bunnies   dreamt   that   their   mother   was 

turning them over in bed。 They stirred a little in their sleep�察�but still they 

did not wake up。 

     MR。 McGREGOR tied up the sack and left it on the wall。 

     He went to put away the mowing machine。 

     WHILE he was gone�察�Mrs。 Flopsy Bunny ��who had remained at home�� 

came across the field。 

     She   looked   suspiciously   at   the   sack   and   wondered   where   everybody 

was�拭�

     THEN   the   mouse   came   out   of   her   jam   pot�察  �and   Benjamin   took   the 

paper bag off his head�察�and they told the doleful tale。 

     Benjamin and Flopsy were in despair�察�they could not undo the string。 

     But Mrs。 Tittlemouse was a resourceful person。 She nibbled a hole in 

the bottom corner of the sack。 

     THE little rabbits were pulled out and pinched to wake them。 



                                             10

     Their    parents    stuffed   the  empty    sack   with    three  rotten   vegetable 

marrows�察�an old blacking´brush and two decayed turnips。 

     THEN they all hid under a bush and watched for Mr。 McGregor。 

     MR。 McGREGOR came back   and picked up the   sack�察�and carried   it 

off。 

     He carried it hanging down�察�as if it were rather heavy。 

     The Flopsy Bunnies followed at a safe distance。 

     THEY watched him go into his house。 

     And then they crept up to the window to listen。 

     MR。  McGREGOR   threw  down   the   sack   on   the   stone   floor in   a   way 

that would have been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies�察�if they had 

happened to have been inside it。 

     They could hear him drag his chair on the flags�察�and chuckle 

     ;One�察�two�察�three�察�four�察�five�察�six leetle rabbits� ─�said Mr。 McGregor。 

     ;EH�拭�What's that�拭�What have they been spoiling now�拭─�enquired Mrs。 

McGregor。 ;One�察�two�察�three�察�four�察�five�察�six leetle fat rabbits� ─�repeated Mr。 

McGregor�察�counting on his fingers;one�察�two�察�three; 

     ;Don't you be silly�察�what do you mean�察�you silly old man�拭─�

     ;In the sack� �one�察�two�察�three�察�four�察�f
