    THE TALE OF PETER RABBIT BY

  • 00:12

    BEATRIX POTTER Read by Tim.

  • 00:20

    Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were—

  • 00:24

    Flopsy, Mopsy,

  • 00:25

    Cotton-tail, and Peter.

  • 00:27

    They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree.

  • 00:32

    'Now my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane,

  • 00:40

    but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in

  • 00:45

    a pie by Mrs. McGregor.'

  • 00:50

    'Now run along, and don't get into mischief.

  • 00:51

    I am going out.'

  • 00:53

    Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the wood to the

  • 00:58

    baker's.

  • 00:59

    She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns.

  • 01:03

    Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather

  • 01:08

    blackberries:

  • 01:09

    But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden, and squeezed

  • 01:17

    under the gate!

  • 01:20

    First he ate some lettuces and some French beans; and then he ate some radishes;

  • 01:28

    And then, feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsley.

  • 01:34

    But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor!

  • 01:39

    Mr. McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran

  • 01:43

    after Peter, waving a rake and calling out, 'Stop thief!'

  • 01:48

    Peter was most dreadfully frightened; he rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten

  • 01:52

    the way back to the gate.

  • 01:53

    He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe amongst the potatoes.

  • 01:57

    After losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have

  • 02:01

    got away altogether if he had not unfortunately run into a gooseberry net, and got caught

  • 02:06

    by the large buttons on his jacket.

  • 02:09

    It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new.

  • 02:16

    Peter gave himself up for lost, and shed big tears; but his sobs were overheard by some

  • 02:22

    friendly sparrows, who flew to him in great excitement, and implored him to exert himself.

  • 02:29

    Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve, which he intended to pop upon the top of Peter; but

  • 02:34

    Peter wriggled out just in time, leaving his jacket behind him.

  • 02:39

    And rushed into the tool-shed, and jumped into a can.

  • 02:46

    It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in, if it had not had so much water in it.

  • 02:51

    Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the tool-shed, perhaps hidden

  • 02:55

    underneath a flower-pot.

  • 02:57

    He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each.

  • 03:01

    Presently Peter sneezed—'Kertyschoo!'

  • 03:05

    Mr. McGregor was after him in no time.

  • 03:07

    And tried to put his foot upon Peter, who jumped out of a window, upsetting three plants.

  • 03:11

    The window was too small for Mr. McGregor, and he was tired of running after Peter.

  • 03:13

    He went back to his work.

  • 03:14

    Peter sat down to rest; he was out of breath and trembling with fright, and he had not

  • 03:19

    the least idea which way to go.

  • 03:22

    Also he was very damp with sitting in that can.

  • 03:25

    After a time he began to wander about, going lippity—lippity—not very fast, and looking

  • 03:32

    all round.

  • 03:34

    He found a door in a wall; but it was locked, and there was no room for a fat little rabbit

  • 03:38

    to squeeze underneath.

  • 03:40

    An old mouse was running in and out over the stone doorstep, carrying peas and beans to

  • 03:45

    her family in the wood.

  • 03:47

    Peter asked her the way to the gate, but she had such a large pea in her mouth that she

  • 03:52

    could not answer.

  • 03:53

    She only shook her head at him.

  • 03:56

    Peter began to cry.

  • 03:58

    Then he tried to find his way straight across the garden, but he became more and more puzzled.

  • 04:02

    Presently, he came to a pond where Mr. McGregor filled his water-cans.

  • 04:06

    A white cat was staring at some gold-fish, she sat very, very still, but now and then

  • 04:15

    the tip of her tail twitched as if it were alive.

  • 04:18

    Peter thought it best to go away without speaking to her; he had heard about cats from his cousin,

  • 04:24

    little Benjamin Bunny.

  • 04:25

    He went back towards the tool-shed, but suddenly, quite close to him, he heard the noise of

  • 04:29

    a hoe—scr-r-ritch, scratch, scratch, scritch.

  • 04:33

    Peter scuttered underneath the bushes.

  • 04:35

    But presently, as nothing happened, he came out, and climbed upon a wheelbarrow and peeped

  • 04:40

    over.

  • 04:41

    The first thing he saw was Mr. McGregor hoeing onions.

  • 04:44

    His back was turned towards Peter, and beyond him was the gate!

  • 04:49

    Peter got down very quietly off the wheelbarrow; and started running as fast as he could go,

  • 04:54

    along a straight walk behind some black-currant bushes.

  • 04:57

    Mr. McGregor caught sight of him at the corner, but Peter did not care.

  • 05:02

    He slipped underneath the gate, and was safe at last in the wood outside the garden.

  • 05:07

    Mr. McGregor hung up the little jacket and the shoes for a scare-crow to frighten the

  • 05:11

    blackbirds.

  • 05:13

    Peter never stopped running or looked behind him till he got home to the big fir-tree.

  • 05:17

    He was so tired that he flopped down upon the nice soft sand on the floor of the rabbit-hole

  • 05:23

    and shut his eyes.

  • 05:25

    His mother was busy cooking; she wondered what he had done with his clothes.

  • 05:29

    It was the second little jacket and pair of shoes that Peter had lost in a fortnight!

  • 05:34

    I am sorry to say that Peter was not very well during the evening.

  • 05:38

    His mother put him to bed, and made some camomile tea; and she gave a dose of it to Peter!

  • 05:43

    'One table-spoonful to be taken at bed-time.'

  • 05:45

    But Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail had bread and milk and blackberries for supper.

  • 05:54
