This Peter Rabbit Story has been adapted from the works of Beatrix Potter. Once upon a time in the woods, near a small village lived four little rabbits. Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-Tail, and Peter were their names. The four little rabbits lived with their mother. They lived under the root of a giant fir tree in a sandbank. One day when mother rabbit was going to the baker’s she told her children to go out and play. “Now my little one,” she said, “you may go down the lane and play. But be very careful and don't go to Mr. McGregor’s garden.” Mother rabbit sighed and sadly continued, “You all know that your father had an accident there, don’t you? You remember that he was put into a pie by Mr. McGregor.” Mother rabbit warned her little ones and set off with her basket and umbrella. peter rabbit story Image Source @netclipart.com “One loaf of fresh brown bread and five currant buns,” she told the baker. Meanwhile, the little rabbits went out to play. Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-Tail were good rabbits. They obeyed their mother and went down the lane as she had told them. There they gathered blueberries. Peter was a naughty rabbit. He was determined to go to Mr. McGregor’s garden. He decided to go alone. So he left his brothers and went to the garden on his own. When he reached the garden, he squeezed himself through a hole in the gate. The garden was huge and was overflowing with vegetables. First, he ate some lettuce and after that, he ate some French beans. And after that, he feasted on some radishes. After eating all of these, his stomach was quite full. He felt sick.

By the end of the cucumber patch, Peter ran into Mr. McGregor. Mr. McGregor was planting cabbages when he saw Peter. “Thief!” he called out. “Stop you thief!” he ran after Peter. Peter was now trembling with fear. He hopped around the garden, for the poor bunny had forgotten the way to the back gate. In a hurry he bounced from one patch to another, he lost one of his shoes to the cabbages. And the other he lost among the potatoes. After losing both of his shoes, Peter ran faster using all his paws. He was so busy avoiding Mr. McGregor that he forgot to look ahead and ran into a gooseberry net. Peter was caught by the large buttons of his blue coat. He struggled and struggled but could not free himself. “Mr. McGregor will surely catch me now.” Peter started to cry. peter rabbit story Image Source--> @www.in.pinterest.com Peter’s cries were overheard by some sparrows nearby.
